Some countries just have more national pride. Look at the the Italians belting out their national anthem.
That's because they have a good national anthem. And it's inclusive. All Italians can get behind it. Ours is st and the lyrics are alien to large sections of the population. I have tons of national pride but I haven't sung our national anthem since I was a child.BRING ME MY BOW OF BURNING GOLD.

Why can't we have an anthem like other countries, that talks about our rolling hills, lakes, vibrant cities and stuff. Of recounts the finest moments from our proud history. History and geography, something we can all get behind.
That, coupled to a decent "up and at 'em" tune like the Italian anthem, not the soporific dirge we have to suffer.
Billy Connelly had the right idea..That, coupled to a decent "up and at 'em" tune like the Italian anthem, not the soporific dirge we have to suffer.

Here here. Our national anthem is drab, droning, boring and as you say what the anthem is about many couldn't care less for. It should be rousing and mighty, like Jerusalem!

So you propose replacing a drab, droning, boring and irrelevant anthem about God with a drab, droning, boring and irrelevant one about Jesus that also happens to be belted out by the middle classes and above at rugby games. Let us know how it inspires the English football team and fans lolBRING ME MY BOW OF BURNING GOLD.

Oh dear, doesn't look too good does it; words like "conduct unbecoming" spring to mind, wonder what the FA will have to say on the matter?Gassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
