The English Football Thread

[goodfoot]

west ham have passionate fans, but it's not just about that, they have a great tradition with top flight football in england, going back to (dare i mention it) 1966, there was a few west ham players in that team, don't know how many, but i could mention two, not just that, they try to play football, and have had some great players over recent years, and their youth system is second to none, and there football strips are always pretty natty....

I also like Chelsea for the same reasons. It doesn't really have anything to do with how passionate the fans are, or 1966 and all that. neither does it have anything to do with their natty kits to be honest...or their youth system.
FTP...God Save the Queen!

There ya go goodfoot...let it all out.

The Irish connection with Manchester Utd and Liverpool is fairly well known....surprised you didn`t know that!!! Most Irish football supporters in London tend to follow Arsenal, because a large % of the Irish population of London traditionally lived in NW London and Arsenal was their nearest BIG team (even though Highbury is north central London and not NW)

Whereas Tottenham being from NE London do have a Jewish connection.

Then there is West Ham, with their scabby eastend thugs and their loveable mates Millwall just south of the river in Bermondsey, without doubt one of the arse ends of London.

No respectable Londoner supports West Ham or Millwall.

Jackie Carey
Dennis Byrne
Harry Gregg
Tony Dunne
Sammy McElroy
Kevin Moran
Paul McGrath
Norman Whiteside
Roy Keane
Denis Irwin
Frank Stapleton
John O Shea

And Ulster Protestants have every claim to Irishness if they see fit.Many key Irish nationalists were Protestant, such as Wolfe Tone, Isaac Butt, CS Parnell, WB Yeats and Douglas Hyde.

Whether he is a Protestant or a Catholic, that should actually be quite irrelevant....we are in 2010!!! and I find it amazing, that people feel that this crap is still important!

Do you have any Catholic friends?

I know that was a rhetorical question..........but you never know.
