The thing that gets my goat up about Wales is how they have generally gloated when results have gone their way.

Monkeyboy mouthed off before the England game, then last night on 606 Robbie Savage was excruciatingly annoying, claiming that the England team where arrogant. Well I think this overrated piece of shit wannabe pundit should have a look closer to home.

Have to be honest and say that I watched the wales game last night so I cant comment on the English game although it sounds like I dodged a massive bullet :lol:
Wales played really well it has to be said and played with real passion and conviction 8) I don't think that bale has played at all well in these championships, so wanking off about being the first player to score in all 3 games for a number of years (since horseface :evil: ), is ignoring his lack of contribution imo (at least in the last two games).

The irony is that it seems to me that engerland will have an easier path now after finishing second, than wales did after topping the group. The prospect of a bale v ladyboy Ronaldo face off is looking a real possibility, so that should make the build up to the game interesting :lol:

England are arrogant. they have nothing to crow about. they were lucky to beat a championship quality (minus bale) wales in stoppage time, and yet everyone then says they are the next golden generation etc. in reality they have failed to beat or seriously struggled to beat 3 championship equivalent quality sides (minus the odd star, bale/hamsik)

as soon as a couple of proper teams faces England that's the end. woy will carry on as there's no one else and the same old crap will get picked as there's no alternative.

England are based around an average Tottenham team (bar the mongolid) who simply appeared to do well as the wilfully blind (both fans and media) keep saying so despite all them doing was standing still whereas the big clubs went backwards. they had less points than when avb was sacked. hence England are built on a core of shite,,,dier, rose, walker should never in a million years be near the England team, likewise smalling. alli should not be a starter. there's a dearth of English talent and its just been bigged up cos of the scums supposedly miraculous season.

So England are arrogant and that twat Savage isn't? I remember when he first started punditry he was sat next to TH14 giving it the large about how Leicester would give Arsenal a game back in the day. It took TH14 one sentence to dismiss the prick. Fucking hell what is the world coming to. Last night he couldn't help but gloat like the arrogant *word censored* he is. Small time footballer trying to be a big time pundit LMAO.

As for England being arrogant, that's the most ludicrous thing to say. It's not as if we have anything to be arrogant about. The manager is far from arrogant, and if there are any arrogant players it's probably the likes of Wilshere who thinks hes the dogs bollocks when he's not on the injury table!

I guess the Welsh have taken over from the Scots in the deluded stakes.

Savage is a complete bell-end and always will be. He would have made sure that he was in the news regardless of how Wales, England or anybody else got on.

The English attitude is certainly not what it was a decade ago but as long as you have idiots like Paul Merson popping up on TV proclaiming that he really thinks that this special group of players might well go all the way (and whilst in the minority he's not alone) then you will satisfy those people who want to portray England fans that way.

So why do others think we are arrogant ? I don't see the manager , the players ,the fans or even the press bigging us up at all. Sounds likes delusions and small person syndrome .

So, after taking a day off, as advised.......

I have to ask if Wales have an easier task than England in the next knockout round?
The permutations are dizzying.

Savage pantomime villain, really? Have you heard him on TV or Radio he means every word he speaks. If he was a genuine wind up artist I would say fair play, but to constantly come out with all this bullshit kind of just shows him up as a bit gormless.

Don't accuse the English of being arrogant when there is lots of it in your country mainly coming from "so called" pundits. Hartson was at it last night on 606 as well.

On a lighter note Northern Ireland fans are amazing, found this vid from youtube "Will Griggs on fire, your defence is terrified", wouldnt be too hard for us to replace that with Sanchez on fire!

Fair play to the Northern Ireland fans quality support throughout the match not a peep out of the Germans, on the same note I thought the English support last night was great, it was nice to see instead of seeing the trouble they cause or the trouble that they attract.

Nicking Wigan/NIs Will Grigg song wouldn't reflect great on us....

to be honest I still don't think England have much to fear except themselves in this tournament. Would be a huge shock if they beat Germany or Spain but no reason at all why they can't beat France in a tasty quarter-final if they meet there.

I think Wales will struggle if they come up against Croatia or slightly less so Czech Republic - that said after years of heartbreak I have backed Wales to lose every game so far and they have kept proving me wrong. Not saying for a minute that I think they will, but looking at the draw there's no reason why they couldn't make it to the semis. Having gotten out of the group and put in some sterling performances I can enjoy the last 16 game a bit more as anything from here is a bonus. 5 o clock Saturday kick off is handy too...

I like NI but what a travesty if they qualify for the knockout stages imo. Letting half of Europe qualify for the tournament and then a side who hasn't even landed a punch in two of their games going through is a bit silly.

the on fire song was firstly popularized by newcastle for mitrovic, then wigan for will grigg. it's not NI's song, but then again neither is "please don't take me home" which is sung by them and the welsh.

both songs are shite 8)
