You can tell that there’s a world cup about to start in lots of ways. The nicer weather, the flags, the merchandise, the special offers from Tescos for crisps and lager, the people from Coronation Street doing idents to the cameras on ITV saying things like ‘C’mon England, bring it home’ and of course the obligatory anti Scottish story.

The latest is a very unoriginal one. It’s the fact that England shirts aren’t selling in the big Scottish cities, wow there’s a surprise!! Added to this apparently there are more Argentina shirts being sold in Scottish shops than England shirts, another one to make you fall off your chair!! Finally though apparently there has been a rush on USA shirts in sports shops in Scotland, what a load of fucking bollocks!!

The sad thing is, there are morons out there that swallow this story which was printed in that bastion of accuracy ‘The Sun’, the newspaper that isn’t the most popular in the country anymore and the rag that now can’t claim that it’s their paper ‘wot’ won it for Cameron because Cameron is now in cahoots with the hated Liberal Democrats according to the Essex plasterer’s comic.

A whole load of tits are on forums as we speak hammering the keys about jealous, whisky smelling, bitter jocks and that they’re ‘not bothered’ what the sweaties think. Well if you’re not bothered, why are you on a forum telling people!?

Scots don’t want England to do well in the world cup, deal with it! The Irish and the Welsh don’t either, Holland don’t want the Germans to do well, Australia don’t like England to win any sport and I know it’s hard to believe middle class people, when Newcastle United were in the European Champions League, Sunderland supporters were actively cheering on the other teams whoever we were playing.

Just enjoy your World Cup Ingurlund fans, and then lose interest for two years while the rest of us keep the sport going by attending matches and supporting our local clubs. Remember in four weeks time it won’t be the Scots who are public enemy number 1, it will be a Mexican referee after a disallowed goal no doubt and the Sun will print his home address. Well done to Michael Carrick for getting in the squad though.
