Apparently the new FA chairman Greg Clarke has scrapped the plan to win the 2022 World Cup

Oh ffs....I was looking forward to that!

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.

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!

BRING ME MY BOW OF BURNING GOLD.
BRING ME MY ARROWS OF DESIRE etc.

Clearly the song Vindaloo by Fat Les is an appropriate choice in this case

I don't think the England band know the tune to that one, what a shame.

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..

New National Anthem

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 lol

Land of Hope and Glory.

That would get Wembley going.

I always liked 'Lip Up Fatty' by Bad Manners.

The hymn at least has great crescendos and inspiring lyrics that can be belted out. It's definitely not a boring one to sing.

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?

[JustinF]

Whoops!

[Cobnapint]

He may have just covered his arse enough with the 'ask the FA' remark, and the 'you can't do that' bit.

Just.

[swisstoni]

Next Oaf please!

[hornetrider]

Oh dear!

Mind you. They were setting him up for a sting as soon as he was in the job?! That's a bit low, right? Methinks someone at the Telegraph doesn't want him as manager.

[Blib]

Well, I for one feel sorry for Big Sam. It must be very hard for him to survive on a mere three million pounds a year.

[p1stonhead]

He may quit with a 100% win record

[Cobnapint]

He's got a bit of a chequered history being involved in financial 'arrangements' that he didn't have 'full knowledge' about.

That's him finished. His reputation destroyed. The FA being made to look tw*ts for selecting him. And Rooney having to play where he's told again.
