Bang on Tim! That is exactly how I feel. I used to support Scotland over England when I was a kid because of all the Leeds players they had. That changed as I grew up and they stopped picking our players, but I still used to want all the home nations to win unless they were playing England.
Not any more, they are the most bitter and twisted set of sad gits you could ever wish to meet. Even those that have lived down here for decades still regard us as English bastards. And that scrote Murray severely pissed me off too, how any English man can wish him well is beyond me. F*** em!
