You mention the lyrics to 'Three Lions on the Shirt" which states England have had "Thirty Years of Hurt".
However that song was made 25 years ago. It's now 55 years of hurt ............ and counting!

If scottish patriotism amounts to the inverse of English loss, then consider what that patriotism amounts to. One missed penalty in a European Final
you missed 3 not one.

Utterly pathetic The patriotic hobby of the English backbiting due to the blatant incompetence of scotland
Missed 3, but only 1 more than them, so the difference was just one.
The same number of goals scored in totality in the back door scotch campaign

But do you think the Scots give a flock about England?
Like I said we simply admit we're a very poor side and whilst you're undoubtably better than us why can't you admit you're not very good?

It is wrong to single out Scotland for not wanting an English victory..England are universally despised due to their racist thuggish fans,,lasers shined in eyes storming the disabled gate attacking innocent fans and police..and you wonder why?

Lou England are 4th seed in the world. How 'not very good' does that amount to?
If anyone is waiting on us to pander for the stuff that brought wealth to this island, you will be waiting for quite a wile.

The English(Not all it must be said..but what appears a very VOCAL majority) are so immersed in their own arrogant sense of superiority they remain blind as to where the patently obvious schadenfreude mentality comes from.
For many it's nothing but neighbourly banter, have one in your eye. For others it's a constant that's rooted from the tragedy and scars that were dealt during imperial times.

To be fair I think their mocking the media hype more than anything
The media spent 2 weeks telling us all its "coming home"
And when it didn't they moved onto hooligans and "racism" to fill the pages and air time...

But the reason they're so highly seeded is because they've been extremely lucky with the last two draws to reach the Sem Final and then Final of last two comps.
Come on 4th does flatter them surely.

But that's the thing. We know it was an easy route to the final via Scotland. We know we're not at all good.
That's the difference we admit it yet England fans can't admit they're side aren't that great either. Big difference.

Spain has provided the most champions, with eighteen wins from two clubs. England have produced fourteen winners from five clubs and Italy have produced twelve winners from three clubs.

But you don't know that. Yes they were supposedly a great team but they may never have won it so to see 5 a Conservative estimate is again a ridiculous remark.
Why can't you have a decent conversation, put your point across fairly and be honest?

Fair enough , here are the facts When English clubs entered and competed in European football They won more trophies than any other nation And they had more clubs who won Ok with that ?

Part of the problem with the England team is this : The manager , and they tend not to pick the best players
Now in club football that’s not such a factor Good players will find their way into the team somewhere And before you know it they’ve won the league .. and maybe even the European cup the following years
Managers don’t have the same ability to fk up

The European Cup If I remember correctly it was a Scottish team that won it first for the British Isles. The first English team to win it, Manchester United, had seven English players in their 11, four foreigners.
English teams do have the most wins in the UEFA Cup Winners Cup (England 8; Spain 7; Italy 7) That competition was abolished in 1999 so that record will never be beaten

There was actually 9 English players in Liverpool`s first victory and a Welshman and an Irishman.
And 11 Scots who were all born in Glasgow area when Celtic became the FIRST ever winners. A feat that will never be equalled again.

A wonderful achievement by Glasgow Celtic But of course there is an advantage if you are playing consistently in the European cup The very fact that English football is so competitive and especially when only the winners of the league would qualify Meant that even great teams such as Man Utd the first winners might have the one chance to win every maybe even every ten years
Liverpool managed to break this with their dominance , which naturally led to dominating ( although still with spells from other teams such as cloughs forest ) in Europe It was a colossal achievement

I remember I think it was Atletico Madrid butchering Celtic and Jimmy Johnstone in particular. When I say butchering I am not talking metaphorically! I think the game may have been flagged at some future point for possible referee nobling!

And Leeds Utd would probably have won it in 1970 but were knocked out by the great Celtic team in the semi-final. Having defeated the brilliant Leeds team, they thought that they just needed to turn up for the Final and were beaten by Feyenoord after extra time.
... and lets not forget Aston Villa, another magnificent achievement.
.... now the competition is ruined and all about money, money, money, and British teams full of mercenaries only interested in cash.

I was at that match whispering. Atletico dropped all their star players and put out a side of henchmen whose only job was to stop Celtic playing, Jimmy in particular. 1974 and It was brutal. Imagine how the divers of today would cope with that. Wee Jimmy got slaughtered that night and I don`t think anybody could accuse him of diving. Worth a watch for younger posters who probably haven`t seen it.

I remember the game! Looking back now it is equally shocking. I know the Leeds Game against Munchen in '75 was viewed as a possible referee corruption case. I was pretty sure this one was too but the ref covered himself by sending 3 of them off! It was a total disgrace regardless.
The Leeds v Chelsea 1970 Cup Final ( replay? ) was also equally entertaining but at least the players governed themselves! Charlton/ Osgood still makes me chuckle!

The whole squad were born within 30 miles of the ground, most of em on the doorstep.
A fantastic achievement. Iirc celtic conceded early then hammered away at inter, missed a pen, equalised and then scored winner with 5 minutes left.
Back in them days everybody i knew wanted celtic to win, as they did with man utd the following year.
