    Would love England to win tomorrow, as I'm old enough to remember watching the 1966 World Cup Final, and the euphoric feeling this gave the whole country for months afterwards. However, if I had to pick between the two it would be City, who I first saw live in 1961, getting promotion every time.

    I do ignore them, I was just pointing out an inaccuracy. These days I worry not about others but myself. I leave politics and the like to others.

    They all do it left and right, Marxist was trending the other day on Twitter. 100s of left wingers posting how England had done so well once we started bending the knee, and thousands were retweeting and liking the tweets.
    Labour would also do the same if they were in power.

    Do I like it? No I’m not a big fan of politics in sport as it’s a decisive subject and no one should have a particular ideology forced upon them. That said do I blame Tories/Marxists or Labour had they got in? No again as positive publicity is always going to be milked if it suits your agenda/ideology.

    Still England for me. Like I've said before, city have been promoted seven times in my lifetime/ remembered lifetime but England have only bossed it once and I was two.

    If I am abroad and someone asks me what country I am from, I tend to say I am British and explain where I live. I have seen England play live, but City are my team, the one I go to see, probably around 30 times a year. Compare that to England 3 times in a life time.

    Why do you say Britain and not England? I expect very few people who hail from either England, Wales or Scotland would say they are British.

    Is Britain in London? ( I have been asked this by some of the kids I teach, it appears some think London is a country).

    I think the fact the England v Italy thread on here was only 6 pages tells you that the answer to the question is an overwhelming preference to see City succeed

    In a way not surprised at scenes at Wembley after our match v Millwall there. Stewards totally overwhelmed and given impossible job when faced by a bunch of intimidating drunks ( I don’t say all were, but many were). It just should be mass policing. Why England fans have to turn almost every big game into a disgrace is beyond me but sadly can’t surprise any of us any more. It’s all I think of England supporters which may be unfair on the majority but it seems to be a sizeable minority. It’s one of the reasons I just can’t get excited by England. I don’t really want to be associated with much of the behaviour yesterday.

    Try and get to a Union Berlin game if you can. Fans rebuilt the stadium themselves, mostly standing, brilliant atmosphere.
