poor old gnasher...all that way to watch that

It's the fans like that I feel sorry for, spending all that money and then being let down by them in that fashion is gut wrenching for them.

Make no bones about it that was a piss poor performance by England and the players and manager deserve all the fall out. Passion been talked about a lot in this tournament and England didn't have any last night.

 

Dont feel sorry for me lads im rich ....n​ah only messing.....being let down is part of following sport if you never experience the shit times you dont appreciate the " i was there " moments which as fans you strive for......unfortunately ive never seen many with England .......or West Ham come to think of it ....​....anyone for cricket ?

Get into rugby gnash your international team are on fire at the moment ........

[gnasher16 30,062]

I have to admit.....im loyal bordering on blind loyalty when it comes to football but as an honest person theres just some shit you cant defend......that was far and away the most shambolic tournament from top to bottom that ive ever experienced.......i always try to defend this " no passion " thing people rant on about as a former sportsmen i probably try to have faith in the fact that ALL sportsmen want to win as much as i did and so try to find other reasons........but my god......as a reasonably intelligent man with a lot of experience in competetive behaviour even i cant stretch my powers of loyalty that far......it was embarrassing,bemusing,disgraceful.......any bad word you can think of fits the performance in this last game i have never seen a team more frightened,more hesitant or simply play as badly from basic pass and move to simple ball control we was disastrous........im sick of dissecting the reasons why and simply cant be bothered to do so anymore.....but suffice to say i have my own theories very few of which i place on the physical prowess of our footballers who show week in week out that they are good players.

 

Anyway they can close France for all i care i have no desire to ever return to such a depressing place !

Take somebody with you who understands the game ... Or sit in a boozer or in front of the TV with a pint and somebody who understands the game to talk you through it ... I'm surprised as an ex boxer you don't enjoy the physical element to rugby ......

I know the toffee nosed university boys over West London all like it but its just not an East London thing i can honestly say i dont know anyone who is into the game......even at school i think we played it once and it just ended up in a mass brawl so we never played it again i dont think even the games teacher knew how to play it !.....i can appreciate and understand the enjoyment of the contact side of the game it all just looks a bit of a pointless mess to me.......anyway id find it too easy what with my slender graceful physique and finesse of foot id show them a clean pair of heels right enough.

Lol like a veritable ballerina lol .......

[gnasher16 30,062]

After all the slagging I have ever taken about how I see England.......I rest my case ! Lol lol

I aint gonna start on you again Wilf as we,ve had it out before ....​..but since ive been following West Ham theres been 5 times in all those years we have been relegated......it broke my heart every single time but not once did i ever say or even think " f**k it im not following that shit anymore "........why do otherwise loyal sensible chaps throw the towel in when it comes to England but not their club i genuinely dont get it........its almost a form of glory hunting.

So by and large it was pretty much like every other tournament then pal ?......haha

 

Jokes aside, the paddys were queuing up to give it me large last night when I got to football !.......my main enjoyment has been watching how well the West Ham players have been doing.

I have been proud as punch to see how good they are and think that they play for our little club.

 

Anyway, a few of my pals were in Nice and the weather looked tidy so at least you get that as comfort

Seems like our boy Payet is stealing the show on the pitch and Super Slavs stealing the show in the tv studio from what folk have told me.......got some charisma that lad,just wish a few of our lot had his enthusiasm sometimes !......nothing wrong with the weather but its the worst tournament ive ever been to by far the country just didnt embrace it........when i think of the scruffy little kids and families the way they treated us in Brazil a few years ago whereas this last few weeks regardless of football id rather of watched Slav on the telly i think.
