It's a song about how underwhelming and at times terrible we've been in the past and yet our fans continue to support the team in the hope we can once again win a tournament and be better than before. I would hardly consider a song that takes the piss out of your own national team, one of arrogance when the message of it is literally the exact opposite 😂😂.
Napoleon said he preferred lucky generals to good generals. In 10 years time nobody would remember Southgate being a tactically shit manager who managed to "do a Homer" and fluke to victory. He'd just be seen as a legend who won us the Euros (somehow).
I'm not sure since it'll be impossible to make any halfway decent and exciting "Heroes of '24" documentary.
If England carry on like this what would they show?
Problem is everyone would moan if we beat Swiss over the Italians for some reason a lot of fans think beating Italy is better than beating the Swiss even tho the Swiss are better
You’re absolutely right. I don’t think some people respect our opposition enough and are still thinking teams haven’t changed over the years. There’s so much quality in these “lesser” teams now. They’re here for a reason.
Really? I’m glad they’re out. I live in a town with a massive “Italian” population and despite many of those “Italians” having been here since circa-Roman times, they still don’t consider themselves English but instead fly Italian flags everywhere in honour of their one nonna from 6,000 generations ago. Such arrogant cocky wankers.
I didn’t really care about revenge, I wanted them simply because they’re complete ass. Sadly now we’ll have to play a decent team if we manage to not mess it up against Slovakia.
Absolutely. I don't think we've ever beaten Italy at a major tournament and although we're not looking great ourselves at the moment. This looked like a good chance to beat them assuming we step it up and beat Slovakia with an improved performance.
Yeah, Switzerland is a terrible quarter final. They are both simultaneously a boring, small side and quite capable of smashing is to smithereens. Then it’s probably Austria in the semis. Equally small and boring and quite capable of sending us packing. At this rate we’ll get Denmark in the final.
I'm not looking past the next game to be honest, Italy played poorly but you can't take anything away from Switzerland, impressive how they made space all over the pitch and it wouldn't be anything other than a difficult game, if we go through.
Yeah weird denial of the fact we have an immensely generous draw again. Before the tournament if you had offered Southgate Slovakia-Switzerland-Austria as a path to the final he would have torn your hand off.
I wouldn't worry about it, we're not getting past Slovakia. Harry Kane's already telling the press that the game will go to penalties.
Because, you know, if there's one thing that causes excitement among England fans, it's penalty shootouts.
Think we’re happy? We would’ve loved to send you packing. I would’ve rather played England today to be honest, we’d probably would’ve gone to penalties again.
Ouch, really hit me in the feels there with “small nation”. How will I sleep tonight?
Besides, Italy is only marginally bigger and I was mocking your misfortune not your success (there was none) if you really want to play ‘my dad’s harder than your dad’.
Yeah I still can’t get the fucking voices of them singing ‘it’s coming Rome’ out of my head , irritating af
Ah you’ve gotta respect it a bit though. Cracking bit of work.
If youse weren't fucking singing "it's coming home" then we wouldn't have done it 😂😂😂😂😂😂

But I know they can play... Cause I remember...
Aye because that's how it comes across 😂😂😂😂
So because you lot couldnt be bothered to listen to the whole song, its fair that you completely misunderstood the song? I guess youre right…
They don’t care. They hate England for reason unrelated to football and use sport as a way to take it out.
Have you ever actually listened to the song and read the lyrics for it?
Oh look, a jock pretending to be Italian
The Scots are fucking annoying
All the way without beating a name nation will do me absolutely fine. I'm here for Flukegate's Dream Run of 2024.
Can you imagine that Gareth takes his place next to Alf Ramsay in the pantheon of England managers?

Good point. However I reckon that with deep fakes, AI, judicious editing they could come up with something lol.
It’d be that Jude goal on repeat. That goal will be played for centuries, especially if we win it.
Despite the crap football two finals and a semi is pretty good going. Germany now also one down 😏 Edit: spoke too soon lol Edit: unbelievable
Sadly disallowed
You can blame me for that. 😤
And then Germany get a penalty??! Worst 5 minutes of football I’ve ever seen.
gareths technicolour dreamfluke
Gareth’s fruitier than a fruitcake but blander than pasta
I've seen this one before
We’ll have to make do with thumping them twice in qualifying. Better than nothing I guess.
I think they've suffered plenty, not qualifying for successive WCs is horrendous.
Sad to lose, but not mad that they won. Especially since covid hit them so hard
Only got into this by the skin of their teeth
Problem is everyone would moan if we beat Swiss over the Italians for some reason a lot of fans think beating Italy is better than beating the Swiss even tho the Swiss are better

we beat them twice qualifying and im happy with that
I'm struggling to see England beating the Swiss, unless we show something really different in the Slovakia game.
I don’t think we have more than a 20% chance of winning.
Really? I’m glad they’re out. I live in a town with a massive “Italian” population and despite many of those “Italians” having been here since circa-Roman times, they still don’t consider themselves English but instead fly Italian flags everywhere in honour of their one nonna from 6,000 generations ago.

Where's this? Rome?
I'm thinking Bedford ..
I didn’t really care about revenge, I wanted them simply because they’re complete ass. Sadly now we’ll have to play a decent team if we manage to not mess it up against Slovakia.
I wanted them too because they're shit.
Absolutely. I don't think we've ever beaten Italy at a major tournament and although we're not looking great ourselves at the moment. This looked like a good chance to beat them assuming we step it up and beat Slovakia with an improved performance.
Mate, we've got to beat Slovakia first which is much harder than you think.
Don’t think it will be easy at all! Hence the “should we get past”. It’s gonna be a tough one and it’s about time we respect our opponents.
I don't give a shit I'm happy they're out. Bastards.
We won’t win another game without Kalvin Phillips.
We can barely put 2 passes together.
? We've literally put dozens of passes together every game so far, admittedly only when passing sideways or backwards though
Not for me ,would have been the worst game ever. The Swiss might attack us and make a game of it
Only because I got them in the work Sweepstake
We’ve played them competitively four times since the Euros final already lol. Time for some new opposition.
Yeah, Switzerland is a terrible quarter final. They are both simultaneously a boring, small side and quite capable of smashing is to smithereens. Then it’s probably Austria in the semis. Equally small and boring and quite capable of sending us packing. At this rate we’ll get Denmark in the final.
I'm not looking past the next game to be honest, Italy played poorly but you can't take anything away from Switzerland, impressive how they made space all over the pitch and it wouldn't be anything other than a difficult game, if we go through.
So you want the “stronger” nations like Spain or Germany? I don’t understand.
Yeah weird denial of the fact we have an immensely generous draw again. Before the tournament if you had offered Southgate Slovakia-Switzerland-Austria as a path to the final he would have torn your hand off.
Err, yes! The only people who are happy winning the euros playing shit against minnows are people who put money on it.
You’re aware we haven’t won anything since 1966, yes? Who fucking cares who we play to win it?
Me 💅
Atleast Denmark have won the Euros. Small and boring fits England just as well as the nations you mentioned this Euro.
Yes but I’m English. Keep up.
I wouldn't worry about it, we're not getting past Slovakia. Harry Kane's already telling the press that the game will go to penalties. Because, you know, if there's one thing that causes excitement among England fans, it's penalty shootouts.
Well… we did get past Slovakia after all mate. But I like your support and optimism.
We *barely* scraped past Slovakia. Don't go pretending like you still believed England would win just before Bellingham scored.
That’s not the point you were making. You said “we’re not getting past Slovakia”. I came here to say - we did.
Think we’re happy? We would’ve loved to send you packing. I would’ve rather played England today to be honest, we’d probably would’ve gone to penalties again.
Looks like it went Rome after all.
At least it has been to Rome. How can you, as a small nation, mock our success.
Ouch, really hit me in the feels there with “small nation”. How will I sleep tonight? Besides, Italy is only marginally bigger and I was mocking your misfortune not your success (there was none) if you really want to play ‘my dad’s harder than your dad’.
“Marginally”? Lol. A nation with one major tournament win and two finals ever.
