There seems no connection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supermarket Prodigy 0 Posted October 5, 2010 It''s not a problem. At first, I had been listening to Plan B''s album, The Defamation of Strickland Banks, so that was in my head. I also thought, the team went out as heroes and came back as villains. So, in some sense, they were victims of defamation. Though I do see where you''re coming from!SP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert N. LiM 6,277 Posted October 7, 2010 You could argue that they were being defamed before the tournament, by people describing them as world-class contenders who ''maybe, just maybe'' could win it, rather than the worthless, talentless, stupid mercenaries they all are.

Mook 0 Posted October 7, 2010 "This is our best chance since ''66! This is the Golden Generation! Capello is just like Alf Ramsey! They were just some of the quotes thrown around before the 2010 FIFA World Cup in the English tabloids"You could replace 2010 with any year since I''ve been watching England, and that''s 1986 onwards. You''d have thought we''d catch on one day ...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
