England will win the World Cup ...

[Doggy Styles]

And a tulipload of little plastic flags that can be attached to the windows of chavmobiles!!

I thought it was just me, but yes, they are very chavvy aren't they.

Yep, it sells papers though.

The songs are the least of it!!!



We went to the World Cup Finals in 1978, and the Scottish media whipped up a storm of nationalistic hysteria, even suggesting that we might even win the Trophy. We DID actually manage to beat the eventual runners-up, but it all rather predictably ended in glorious failure.
The difference is, we only made those mistakes once. In the intervening period England have repeated that arrogant process about 15 times!!

Oh how those songs come back to haunt us, well you, actually...

The songs are the least of it!!!

They don't write 'em like that anymore...................thankfully!!

We're on the march wi' Ally's Army,
We're going tae the Argentine,
And we'll really shake them up,
When we win the World Cup,
'Cos Scotland is the greatest football team,
We're representing Britain,
And we're gaunny do or die,
England cannae dae it,
'Cos they didnae qualify!

We're on the march wi' Ally's Army,
We're going tae the Argentine,
And we'll really shake them up,
When we win the World Cup,
'Cos Scotland is the greatest football team,

When Scotland's football (soccer) team qualified for the 1978 World Cup in Argentina (and England didn't), probably the biggest mistake manager Ally McLeod made was to talk up the chances of Scotland not only dong well, but maybe even winning the championship. The song below (there are many versions), belted out at the time, epitomises that starry-eyed view. A recording of the song by comedian Andy Cameron even made it to the Pop charts. Many of Scotland's Tartan Army of football fans even half-believed the optimism - until it all ended in tears and Scotland did not even proceed beyond the first round.

Oh how those songs come back to haunt us, well you, actually...
