Torquay United Fans Forum

i was born to be the best,number one nothing less,leave me to my destiny,i have waited patiently,i have vision o i believe,i know i can count on ......................TORQUAY UNITED FC

I always want England to do well. But i am not going to lie i am happier when Torquay win and i am sadder when they lose.

My feelings for Torquay will always be stronger than our over rated national team.

However, if somebody asked me either England to win the world cup or Torquay promotion to league 1.... i would probably choose world cup since i have never experienced what its like for the country to win one and probably never will. Both would be great though.

Torquay first Holland second !! England................if ever we can get a team with technical ability and pride well I may change my opinion I think I could be waiting a long time .....................!!!!

TORQUAY UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB ; with all my heart ;

will never feel the same for england like i do for Torquay United FC.

I really want England to do well, but am increasingly needy of a them having good run, like the Euro '96 era when everyone was buzzing about the national team and would love to see a few 'personalities' back in the team. Feel quite detached when watching Rooney, Ferdinand, Terry etc give interviews.

I don't detest the England squad, I will watch them on telly, but I see them as a medioca premiership team who no one hates or loves, but has a big neutral following. Don't care too much if they win or lose, won't go out my way to watch them, but if it suits then always switch over to see how they are doing.

Out of interest, why'd you need to be over 18?

"the fact that England is the number one country in Europe makes me feel.."

Not sure I follow you, old boy..

How people can even begin to consider whether England means more to them than TUFC is beyond me. Like you Richinns, I used to look forward to England games, and now, like you YellowM25, I actually want England to fail. I genuinely detest the footballers who wear the national shirt. It's an absolute shambles. No passion, no commitment...nothing.

100% club over country for me, and always will be. I honestly feel with the passion and commitment, along with moments of real quality we showed at Oxford away for example, TUFC are better, as a team, than England.

I found myself accidentally rooting for france at times as they were playing nicer more fluent football. That would never happen to me at a Torquay game.

I remember when I was a kid - an England game really used to be something to get excited about. Now I really dont give two sh1ts about them. Bunch of overpaid primadonnas wasting everyones time by pretending they care. They now even get paid for playing International football!

These players now see International football as a distraction from their clubs and their lack of passion is reflected by the publics ever reducing interest towards them representing us.

Id rather use players from the bottom two leagues for the English set-up, at least it would mean something to them.

Interesting. I would rather watch TUFC train in the rain on a windswept field in Newton Abbott than watch England from a luxury box at Wembley.

done.

If the answer to that question was yes, then we wouldn't be here reading the question!!!!!!
