    • Blimey, Wales were poor. They played as poor as Swansea/Cardiff do when we play them over Christmas/New Year and they've obviously been out on the lash. Maybe they've been to those Amsterdam bars that sell funny cigarettes?

        This one will and many others I know. Some dont even live in England. Many support English teams and want to see the national team do well too.

          The folk of Bethesda weren’t very friendly to my English friends and me, the pubs were almost off limits, they hated these total strangers for one reason, we were English.

          And why do Cardiff City, Swansea City and Wrexham sign anti English songs game in game out?
          I have supported Rangers for 55 seasons, since March 1969.

            I used to go shrooming up in Bethesda every autumn, and found the locals ok.
            Also DJ'd in a few of their forest raves, crazy mofos.

            In reference to Welsh clubs singing anti English songs, I always found the Jacks at Swansea a decent bunch.

                I'm a big believer in forming opinions from what I see and experience, so if that's your view fair enough.

                But football fans, especially the young ones, will chant any ol' nonsense to get at the other team and let off steam. Did QPR fans used to chant abour Drogba and aids?

                In rural Wales there will bo doubt be people who are resentful of English money that have made buying houses impossible for locals and turning some villages into ghost town because all the houses are now second homes. It has had an impact.

                The majority will 'follow' the England team. We wont jump up and down when you score and couldnt give a damn when you get knocked out. But the majority will not be hoping you lose. That'my experience of having lived in England and Wales.

                          I live in England and have English friends who live in Wales too. Of course I don't dislike the English. Many of my Welsh mates support English teams and only have a mild interest in what Swansea/Cardiff do. Most support Leeds because they were young during the Revie years and regularly make the long trip up to Elland Road. I chose QPR and couldnt give a damn how Swansea and Cardiff get on.

                          Wales as a country is not as anti-union as Scotland is and dont have an inbred loathing of England. Ignore actions during football and the six nations.

                            Definitely Dave.

                            These local communities were also resentful of all second home owners when they decided to move into them during the start of the pandemic, breaking lockdown rules and bringing COVID into these areas. Crazy.

                              I personally have a lot more respect for people who support their local teams and don’t jump on the other people’s bandwagons.

                              Unless, of course they support the best team in Shepherds Bush, the mighty Queens Park Rangers, although, our bandwagon broke down in the Scrubs Lane.

                              The call for independence is rising in Wales, according to this report, up to 40% of Welsh people want independence, not far behind Scottish opinion.

                              https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-b1812241.html

                              and this is a bit of a surprise, even more want independence.

                              https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/p...cymru-19233106

                              I would love the English to have a vote on giving the Scottish their independence, I have a feeling Boris & Nicola might be a tad surprised at the result, billions of pounds saved on the Barnet formula and ten of thousands of government and banking jobs returned to England.

                                Well I'm amazed by that polling because all that I've spoken to would be I'm complete shock if Drakefird & Co got more power. Also, if support was that strong I'd expect more to be voting for Plaid Cymru. I just cant even see there being a enough support to want a vote in the first place, but who knows. But I agree with you, England would be a much richer country without the other nations to support.
