the reason i hate england

I spend much of the year hating most of the England players anyway, and if any of those Manchester United or Chelski bastards are in direct competition with any of my beautiful, talented Arsenal French [and Spanish] boys, then there's no agonizing to be done. Allez Les Bleus.
