England are destined to win Euro 2012

Post by Nos89 »

I've done a bit of research and discovered it is England's destiny to win Euro 2012. Since the tournament started back in 1960, every time the summer Olympics have been held in a European city, if the Olympic hosting nation has qualified for the finals they go on and win it.

West Germany 1972 (Olympics in Munich)
Greece 2004 (Olympics in Athens)

For the record Rome olympics 1960, Italy did not enter, Moscow olympics 1980, Russia did not qualify, Barcelona Olympics 1992, Spain did not qualify.

I'm going to the bookies now.

he was fucking awful against Norway - Riise fucking nutmeg him twice, shows the dick doesn't learn the first time :D he offers the RB no fucking protection and if we have Walcott and Glen Johnson on the right we are in big trouble

OP? No. No you won't. Sorry mate. But as the Bald One said, we Oirish have as much chance of winning it as you lads do and we have as much chance of that as Norman Wisdom has of getting up outa that grave and walking right up to the Palace and fucking the living shit out of your Queen. Whilst getting rimmed by the Pope. :|

Actually, we have less chance than that. :D :wink:

1947 - his debut comedy performance at the Brighton Palladium fell flat (which ironically gave him the idea for the subsequent routine which made him famous!! :wink: ) :lol: :lol: :wink:

it's to do with the PATTERN, not the actual teams! who was the team to fuck the pattern up by not winning? england! everyone else does their bit! hence, we'll fuck the olympic city pattern up too by not winning :D
