Why are English supporters the most pitiful in world football?

It's pizza, it's not meant to be healthy, it's meant to be pizza.

Pizza can be well healthy mate.

There are so many crap vegetables out there and for some fecking mad reason most of them seem to find their way into my sandwich whenever I order one in a pub. What the hell is THAT about?? I come from a proper sane working class family where, say, a ham sandwich means ham in two slices of bread, but if you ask for that now you get a salad sandwich with a hint of ham. One of these times I'm going to snap and pin the bloody waiter to the wall and say, 'LOOK: IF I WANTED CUCUMBER, TOMATO, CELERY, LETTUCE, RED ONION, CARROT, CABBAGE, BEETROOT - FECKING BEETROOT!!! - IN MY HAM SANDWICH, I WOULD HAVE FECKING ASKED FOR IT!!!!!!'

Beetroot is amazing!!!!

Except in burgers..... that's just wrong.

 

[Kay Age El]

I like beetroot. A lot.

 

[StevieM]

Does it come with a stab proof vest as well? 😉

You don't get stabbed in Larne.

That would be progress.

After going to the Euros in Portugal I decided I didn't really want to watch many more England games. Watching the game was amazing and we celebrated with a group of fans next to us it was fine. Outside it was horrible, German bomber songs being sung echoed all round a mall before the game, shit chants and random abuse. Maybe it's my nervous disposition but I always felt on edge and never comfortable.

The day after the England/Portugal game we were travelling on the metro and heard a few supporters talking about the game and naturally got involved. Them thinking a few brown lads were not England fans wasn't really and issue, aggression and 'bringing the boys down to your place next time' was a little off putting. Met another group of brown lads from England out there who experienced a little more abuse while also speaking to a news reporter from the Beeb who said he hated following the big games cos the fans were generally idiots.

Having said that had racist abuse in Liverpool for the games and all.

Roast parsnip and carrots covered in a thin layer of honey half way through roasting is beautiful.

UEFA praised the England fans in that 2004 tournament.

William Galliard, Uefa's director of communications, said: "The English fans have been mixing with a lot of other fans, forming friendships. A lot of beer has been drunk together and lot of celebrating has been done together - it's a sea change.

Char grilled it is lovely, we bbq it all the time, but my all time fav soup is cauliflower and stilton - simply fantastic.
Anyways we have a plague of illegal european immigrant moths which are going to eat all the cauliflowers and cabbages so all you colly rascists out there won't have to put up with it this year

Those EU moths that The S*n invented mean all the more cauliflower and cabbage over here for me.

"All Mains served with either
Chipped, Creamed, Baby Boiled, Champ, Boiled or Roasted Potatoes
Garlic Chips & Garlic Potatoes £0.75 extra"

Now that's choice....

I wouldn't trust anybody who chose anything other than roasted potatoes from that list.

If I was feeling really adventurous I might go for the garlic chips.

I eat pizza regularly.












I am not healthy.

 

[Skullflower]

It's really good mate, and healthy:

Hang on, not only is the crust not actually a pizza crust, there's no tomato sauce, & it uses Italian blended cheese instead of mozzarella.

Fucking hell.

That is the equivalent of saying a Linda McCartney quarter pounder is a beefburger.

I use real cheese ... and real tomatoes ... but the crust is really tasty ...

You like real Pizza (i.e. what you get in a restaurant in italy) or pizza hut/dominos stuff?

What!!!!! champ is essential....

Boiled for the purist.

Fresh cut chips are amazing.

Roast potatoes for those with developed tastes

Baby boiled for the hipsters/oldies

.... and the mash..... I could practically get naked and lather myself in it!!!!

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Oh this going to get nasty

What 'real pizza' do you eat? I mean ... go on, enlighten me.

Are you mad - pan fried with some panchetta in it - lovely, would happily eat a whole bowlful

 

[cloggypop]

I'm no expert but surely a pizza needs flour and tomatoes.

 

[Skullflower]

What 'real pizza' do you eat? I mean ... go on, enlighten me.

00 flour dough, simple san marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella (dried out with paper towels), fresh basil. Extremely hot oven. Maybe some fennel salami, artichoke etc. Maybe a calzone if ive had too many recently.

 

[Oliver Twist]

Stir fry it in soya sauce, adding a touch of salt.

It makes a hard man humble

I seriously question your palate. Im also starting to get an idea why you dont like old world wine much.

I'll eat US style pizza, & it's not bad when made properly, (although it's very bloating) but I make proper Italian style pizza, using the four ingredient dough rule as per Italian pizza standards. Proper mozzarella & I make my own pizza sauce using a traditional Italian recipe. This time of year I put the pizza stone on the bbq to get it hot enough & it's amazing. The rest of the year I have to just heat the stone up in the oven for two hours first, but the crust isn't as nice as it is when it's done over the bbq.

I have rough plans to make a woodfire pizza oven in to the back but that'll be in a few years, I want to get an Italian pizza oven in the meantime, can get them for about £100 imported through Amazon.

 

[StevieM]

Speaking of Welsh....




Leeks...... I approve - essential in a good stovie.

I don't understand how Mark missed this quote from the same Beeb article that he quoted from:

He's still struggling with working out how to quote properly. It's not that hard.

How about asparagus wrapped in parma Ham and lightly cooked on the bbq?
