Was watching the cricket yesterday and saw a load of people supporting India who were English, same at Uni a girl was from Bradford and I never understood why she supported Pakistan when the played England, if my mam or dad was american or australian etc I wouldnt support them against the country of my birth and were I was raised.

How do you know they were english?

becasue they were interviewed, (i maybe assuming they were as they had english accents)

Maybe it is their second team..................being generous.

Thinking about it I'd support India against Australia, Pakistan, Scotland and possibly the Irish.

my point was india were playing against england

Leeds Poolie always supported scotland cos his dad was scottish so i dunno maybe you after take the team your dad likes or summit.

Then again sampdoria was his 2nd team so fuck knows!

Ah I see, reverse psychology, and England win, we should try it at home games

i went to all the matches at trent bridge so far being at uni there and being able to sneak in for a kid the support for them is mad and one bloke turned up at seven oclock with all his daughters all indian tops on must of cost him 350 quid east 45 x 7 plus the shirts to see an hours cricket
apart from that though it does make the atmosphere class and without them the stadiums would be half empty

Brit-Asians tend to support England unless they are playing the country where their parents/grandparents were born.


Nasser Hussain once admitted he supported England as a youngster unless it was against India.

Leeds Poolie thought he WAS Scottish.

He spelled like them too....

I've yet to meet an asian who considers himself or herself 'English'. British yes but not English. The word 'English' is typically used by Asians in reference to white British people.

They can support who they liken none of our business.

I've noticed stray superfluous letters popping up in your posts lately.
I expect you're considering which combination of 'em to tattoo on your arm.....

he could be doing that subliminal messagey type thingy

Yeah. I never thought of that. Find out which book he's using, threepint, and we'll decode all his secrets

.... those stray superfluous letters are because our revised desk layout has been embellished with a stunning contemporary flower display purchased in Cowes by my good lady wife which has reduced using the keyboard to the level of a Japanese sniper trying to shoot in the rain forest. It'll have to have an 'accident'
p.s ...I couldn't possibly have a tattoo on my arm.

I've always thought all Sailors had tattoos. Another misconception debunked by Snowy.

I've never debunked a conception in my life .....at least i think I haven't. ...I'll get back to you on that one.

So you DO have a tattoo!!

I had a very good mate in Paris who was the most avid England rugby and cricket supporter I've ever know. Sandeep was his name.

No, ..... but I've got a 17 stitch scar on my hand off a bottle incident that looks like a satellite view of Rotterdam docks though ...but it's not a tattoo.

So who, or what, caused the 10in scar on your "chap"?

When I was asked to hold the tiger cub, I was told its claws weren't developed ... liars... and you said you wouldn't look.
