That and just the little issue of 500 years of meddling with their country.
England win Euros or Sky Blues get promoted to Premier League? (13 Viewers)

- Start date
Don’t worry them blowing up women and children is still sore but we try and look to the future

I have no (traceable) Irish ancestry, so I'm not wishing to take any particular side. Just stating historical fact as to a reason why (some) Irish people enjoy seeing England fail.

They never seemed too bothered when they actually were a half decent side relying on English born players who’d never seen Ireland until they were chosen

Club every single time and twice on sundays. I’d take us losing tomorrow if it meant we beat Forest on the first day.

Me and my old man used to go over this and it was City every single time.
Obviously I want to win tomorrow but comparing how I feel now with before the Rotherham game is night and day!
The shared experience of club football is far stronger for me than watching Chelsea and Man City players playing for `us' with Ray from Accounts jumping on a bandwagon he doesn't understand

Surely not the same Rays from accounts that flocked to Hillsborough and Wembley in 1987?

I just can't get the enthusiasm for England as I do City, The pubs I drink in around The Binley Rd area full of passionate England fans but won't be anywhere near the CBS arena first game cus they support the Chelseas and Man Utds of this world! Support your local club the same as your country!!!!!

Thats the fella, I just felt more affinity cos he was supporting Peake, Downs and Bennett and living in Tile Hill.
(Rather than Surrey and jumping on me when a Liverpool player scores!)

I saw die hard cov fans on twitter at 8am saying they felt sick the morning eng were playing Denmark. I wish i could feel that way about England but I have no affiliation with eng players. Watching sterling diving, kane diving, grealish flying over every time someone breathes near him.

Much in the same way innocent Irish men, women and children were murdered by the British.

It really isn't. What is mental that some of our "Fans" would rather us win the EURO's, not even the World Cup, than us get promoted to the Premier League and probably secure our future for the next 15 to 20 years. Now that is mental.

But now you’ve started a different argument. Norwich lost 7 games last season and won the league at a canter. If the game against Forest was make or break I’d get it. It’s not, so I don’t.

My memory might not be what it was but I can’t recall an English political movement supporting the bombing of a McDonald’s on Irish soil

Never said England winning doesn't mean much, but if I had to choose between them it would be CCFC every time.

I’d normally always be club over country. Would rather pay to watch our reserves play Leamington than watch a qualifier for example. But England winning a major tournament vs a promotion to the PL is tough. I don’t much like the Premier League so not so fussed about promotion there and then watching us get spanked for another season. Financial stability and potential ownership change are the interesting parts. And that’s not guaranteed in this scenario

Instinct is to say City
BUT
when I thought about it us getting promoted would probably just lead to us getting beaten most weeks the season after and getting hammered by some for a year before getting relegated.
England winning the Euro's would be actually winning a trophy.

Okay then. I’ve seen City lose more times than I can remember. Tomorrow is the first time I’ve seen England in a major final. If seeing England win tomorrow meant we lose against Forest then, damn right, I’d take it all day long.
But it’s a daft, meaningless hypothesis.

You've surely noticed that diving has been an integral part of the game for quite some time now?
Why suddenly pick out those England players?
