This Is England.

I am currently watching England vs. Bulgaria in the first Euro 2012 Qualifier for Fabio Capello's men.

It's 27 minutes in.

England 1 - Bulgaria 0

And the near capacity crowd inside Wembley are 'booing'.

Why? Because Wayne Rooney just let the ball bounce over his left foot and go out for a 'throw in' for the away side.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! GET HIM OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I joke.

I hate watching England. I don't think I've actually 'enjoyed' the whole experience since France 1998... or maybe the 5-1 win over the Germans a few years ago.

It's the supporters. Don't get me wrong - I would kill (yes, that's KILL... as in ending someone's life) just to play 5 minutes on the hallowed turf of Wembley for my country, as I'm sure the crowd at Wembley would tonight.

But why 'boo'?

"I spent nearly £5,000 taking my family to South Africa this summer to watch that shite put in below par performances and show little to no passion...."

Fair comment.

"Wayne Rooney never shows the same form for his country that he shows at club level."

Fair comment.

"Ashley Cole is a cheating man-whore who wouldn't know what loyalty was if it slapped him in his ugly, arrogant face..."

Hilarious! And fair.

"England should win every game at least 3-0..."

NO NO NO NO NO.

No England fan has probably ever uttered these words. Yet it seems to be the attitude of the majority of supporters. Check the back pages of your favoured tabloid if England win emphatically, say for instance if this game finishes 4-0.... it should read something like;

'Fabio's Fab Four : But Cole's a Twat and no one likes him.'

However, if England were to still win tonight, but only by a few goals... say for example; 3-1.... Then the headline should read;

'England Win! But it wasn't by many was it? Sack the Italian prick... And Cole's a Twat.'

But Jono! What if England lost??!!??!!??

Here we go. Danger Zone. The Majority of your newspaper would include 'England being shit' related drivel.... such as;

'England = Wank'

'Bulgaria are better than England so let's all concentrate on the Cricket'

'Help us Sven'

'Rooney couldn't hit a barn door, never mind his wife...'

and so on.

To sum up this pointless rant, I want England to do well. Like everyone else does. But I truly believe that they're trying their best and we should do the same as supporters.

"But we have the best league in the world and the highest paid players to match! So we should expect greatness! We have every right to 'boo' the players if they don't win a game...."

I hear you!!!

But, Ashley Cole got divorced today! T O D A Y.

If that was you or me, we would be out sticking our length in any width we could find tonight in some grotty West End club. But not our Ashley, he's just gone in for his 15 minute break at half time, checked his phone, realised that Cheryl still hasn't replied to his 24 outgoing calls to her mobile today... and will go out for the second half... get sent off, go for his early bath and go out there - go home (alone) and watch the England highlights on itv1 (alone) and realise just what a great player Steven Gerrard is when you play him in his natural central midfield role.

My hand is starting to ache from typing, so I'll end this now whilst you're still awake.

I'm English (well, quarter Irish, but so is everyone) I like England. I live there, so I have to really.

Go to work Monday. Talk about how much of an arse Wayne Rooney is. But he's got more money than you, and loves the fact that you 'boo' him whilst wearing a replica shirt with his name on it.

Ashley Cole is a twat though.

Sorry. I'm just angry because a journey which usually takes me 20 minutes to get from my job in Doncaster back home to Sheffield just took me the large part of 4 hours. But someone might have died in the accident that caused it, so I can't really stay angry.

Stay positive.
