After all the grief from England fans moaning about us wanting England to get beat and cheering on all their opponents can I share what I saw on Friday night?
Watching France v Greece in a pub in Newcastle and very bizarrely the whole pub erupted as if Shee Ra, Queen of the Jungle, had scored against Sunderland. What happened? Greece scored.
I removed all the stones from their pockets and left the glass house.........

Bitter because the French had beaten us a week or so previously?
I don't think it quite compares to hundreds of thousands of Scotsman packing out pubs of Scotland begging for anyone, but anyone, to beat England. I doubt many of those Geordie scumbags had the mentality "anybody but France".
To be fair I come from a place called Peterlee which is further North than Hartlepool. Its them dumb feckers who hung the monkey thinking it was a French spy.
Incidentally the village I was born was where Billy Elliott was filmed. And they used a fecking Geordie actor to play the little puff anarl
