    I couldn't give a rats arse. I'm sick of Euro 2004 already and it hasn't even started yet. I mentioned that I don't like football in the office the other day and people looked at me as if I had just murdered their families and was feasting on the rotting remains. Fuck Euro 2004 - fuck it from here to Portugal and back again. Secretly I am hoping that England "fans" get up to their usual tricks and end up getting the team booted out. Then perhaps the TV scheduling can get back to some semblance of normality. I hate football, but never more so than when the fucking Euro or World Cup tournaments are on. If people didn't act so fucking tribal about football in general (and the associated violence that seems to follow the game in England) then perhaps I wouldn't be so bothered, but I have seen "the beautiful game" bring best friends to blows, and it just gets right on my fucking tits. Oh, and France will proabbly win. Not that I care.

      To add insult to injury I am attending a technical conference at a posh hotel next week, and on Thursday I am required to join other senior developers in ... guess what? Watching England play fucking Switzerland. Oh joy of joy. I can think of better things to do with my time - like masturbating for example. That's it - every time Engerrrrrrland scores, I'll knock one out - and if the match goes to penalties, at least I'll die with a fucking smile on my otherwise wasted face.

        France most likely to win. Unless we get a repeat of their last major tournament performance - which would be most amusing :)

            I'm not really fond of football myself, I don't like the cheating spirit, I don't like supporters, I don't like players behaviour when they score. Nonetheless, I think I will look at the games during the competition, there should be some good ones. And it's always a good occasion to meet with friends and have some :beer:s

              Funnily enough, the Portuguese authorities have recommended that Engerrrrland fans smoke grass instead of drinking beer - less chance of trouble then!!!

                    During World Cup '98, Toulouse hosted some games featuring England. Because of these bloody hooligans, the "Fête de la Musique" (music celebration day?) had to be cancelled because of the fear of incidents :mad::mad::mad: These guys are well known, I don't understand why they can't be controlled

                        Well, the New England Patriots won the superbowl here this year, so I'd imagine they have a pretty good shot at taking the Euros out. I didn't even know y'all played football over there. hmm... :rolleyes: ~Nitron.

                                        During World Cup '98, Toulouse hosted some games featuring England. Because of these bloody hooligans, the "Fête de la Musique" (music celebration day?) had to be cancelled because of the fear of incidents :mad::mad::mad: These guys are well known, I don't understand why they can't be controlled

                                        They do try and stop them leaving the country but they certainly don't know all of them - there are new hooligans on the scene every ywar, I'm sure. Sad really. Makes me ashamed to be English.
