The lyrics of “An Englishman on holiday” by one of my favourite bands, Thunder.

Laying down in this Spanish bar, that last slammer hit me like a car
I've got the 6 a.m. Balearic blues, can't even focus on my own tattoos
I had a fight with this German guy, I saw him give my little girl the eye
While he was trying hard to be so cool, I hit him with a stool

Oh yes, alright, I'll be going all night
Gonna drink 'til they take me away, I'm an Englishman on holiday

Every year I get to do the same, I meet the boys and get on the plane
We like to sing and shout out "here we go"
'Cos they're the only words that we all know
We've got the loudest shirts you've ever seen
We're gonna take the beaches like a team
We've got so much duty free to drink, enough to float a ship

Oh yeah alright, I'll be going all night
So light the paper, get out of the way, I'm an Englishman on holiday

We never look for trouble at the start, but it always comes our way
We've got our pride and we just can't walk away

This morning I woke up inside a cell
They dragged me screaming out of my hotel
I don't remember what it was I did
But I've got this drummer banging in my head
I've got to get out 'fore I miss the plane, next summer I'll be back again
I'll be fighting for the Union Jack, if they let me back

Oh yes, alright, I'll be going all night
Gonna drink 'til they take me away, I'm an Englishman on holiday...

I’ve decided to watch this tonight to double ensure I’m in the right frame of mind for tomorrow

Honestly it's compelling viewing for all the wrong reasons.

Hideous. Amd I’m sure “Max” (not our Max obvs) models himself on Jay from The Inbetweeners.

I’m ok with number 4 to be honest

 

[Cooperman]

and they wonder why the entire world can't stand them

That’s quite true. England fans have a tainted reputation even in countries where football doesn’t come anywhere near being the national sport.

It's patriotic apparently

It's utterly bizarre, that lad is as thick as mince.

My mood tmrw night will be akin to watching us play the scum. We are all Spanish tmrw, and if thers a God, they will win.

It's funny reading this as I've just come back from Spain and watched all of the games. Well known in the bar I was in that I was Welsh and the English supporters couldn't have been nicer.
