How to enjoy an England game

I've been trying to work out a way to enjoy football again My policy now is to try to take pleasure wherever I can find it. For example: I expect England to blow it at the big tournaments. Why? I can't explain. But I don't want to stress myself out thinking about it. Or get worried about other people's ludicrous theories. So now, I'm going to pretend that the aim of the game is to win the Qualifying Stage League. Imagine if we all convinced ourselves that being top of the league was a massive deal. We could get Wembley rocking. I only really go to football for the communal spirt and the fact that alcohol lowers inhibitions and complete strangers will hug each other and sing. Otherwise, when all is said and done, football is a pretty illogical activity anyway. (If you go to the cinema, or listen to music, you have to suspend disbelief in order to enjoy it. Why don't we do the same with England matches) So can we all pretend that the big deal is to win the Qualifying League? I just want some excitement back in my life. If I have to fake orgasms, so what? It sometimes helps create the mood and spreads happiness.

The way I will enjoy the England game is by not watching it. I've had enough now of watching them sail though qualifying, and then blow up at the major tournaments. I couldn't give a monkeys anymore, what I do find annoying is we've only had 3 premiership games, and it then gets interrupted by this international football dross.

Get half pissed before the game then after sending the Mrs round her sisters sleep through most of it in the armchair . Wake up just in time for the pundits to tell me how well we played and would have won it had Wayne (Englands greatest goalscorer ) Rooney stuck that one away . Never mind , onwards and upwards .

God this is awful. Boring possession football with no end product. Kane seems to have lost all confidence. Sterling can't control the ball and stone's an accident waiting to happen.

Skrtel sent off for his usual disgusting behaviour. That should've been a straight red for the stamp, not just a second yellow. Thug. England look the same as in the Euro Slovakia game - same players, same tactics, same sh"te. Edited by chateauferret (04 Sep 2016 6.20pm)

There is no enjoyment at all in watching this game. That's surprising with Sam in charge.

Lallana scores a jammy goal deep, deep into Clattenburg time and now everyone can have a good w*nk and ignore the fact that this was another demonstration of failing to break down a bunch of poor bus-parkers by the worst England side I at least have ever seen.

Do you never got bored? Why is it people who 'couldn't care less' about the England team always feel the need to constantly let everyone know.
