Sorry, I forgot.. We've won the world cup and we're not allowed to be Proud, Happy and Over the Moon because we're English. Sorry.

All I can say is that I would have typed it very slowly but if Wales had got through and won I would have posted a "well done boyos" message ;) Would probably have logged off afterwards though LOL

Its became the anthem at Twickenham as explained below.


Quote:
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
The mid 1980s was not a great period for the England team. Coming into the last match of the 1988 season, against Ireland at Twickenham, they had lost 15 of their previous 23 matches in the Five Nations Championship. The Twickenham crowd had only seen one solitary England try in the previous two years and at half time against Ireland they were 0-3 down. The mood of the home support was understandably sombre.

Then it happened.

During the second half the floodgates opened. England scored a remarkable six tries in a thumping 35-3 win. Three of the tries came in quick succession from Chris Oti, a black player winning his second England cap but making his Twickenham debut. A small section of the crowd started to belt out a rugby club favourite †“ the gospel hymn †˜Swing Low, Sweet Chariotââ‚à ‚¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ †“ in honour of their new hero, and as the tries continued to come so the numbers singing the song increased.

That might have been the end of it.

However, at the next Twickenham home game, against Australia, a young centre named Will Carling made his debut as England captain in another rousing victory. The England team was about to embark upon a period of great success and the Twickenham crowd was about to be offered many more opportunities to bellow out the song that had now become synonymous with Twickenham and the England team.

Re: OK? Who is your money on ?
 
I think I should get a thank you from each and every one of you for the following reason.
I am a jinx to any of Englands sporting chances if I watch or listen to the matches.If I watch them they lose.

Therefore as a consequence I'm forbidden from watching such events(suits me down to the ground not being a sports lover) by my husband.However if hubby wants to watch I have to go out or get lost in some fashion.

This morning I went out and had to dodge the match everywhere.Even in the middle of the Saturday Open market it was being watched.In the supermarket it was on the radio.
It even cost me the price of a new mouse/phaser as I had to duck into a PC shop to pass the time.

Eventually I was allowed back home.

You have no idea of the struggles of the lone sports jonah to allow the fans to feel happy.;)

Incog. :walk:

Re: OK? Who is your money on ?
 
:LOL: coggy....my mum is banned from watching footie....we always loose when she watches, and until she moved in with her current boyf she wasnt interested in ruggers, so we were safe on that score..but it seems her jinx is only applicable to fottie (i dont care im not a footie fan)

I hate sport if it involves a ball but I was riveted to the tv (and radio later on, whilst on the M25) and I had goospimples and hairs standing up on the back of my neck listening to the final moments of the match. And I'm not even English.

Well done that team!

The tabloids have already decided that England will win, but I am not so sure..
Isn't it embarrassing when your failed predictions are left prominently exposed to public view. :)
