England are out. Semi finals of the World Cup. No shame in that.
But, as predictable as the passing of the seasons, the media build up then knock down the England football team with all their assembled cuntitude; a cuntitude pooled together from newspapers, TV, pundits and so-called fucking expert analysis.
The media reportage and structure of their coverage and tone of the English campaign can be summed up as follows:
Weeks before the WC:
“No one expects anything, even though we really do.”
After first narrow group win, vs middling Africans Tunisia:
“England already doing better than last tournament. So they might win the whole thing. Tunisia finished 8th in the Africa Cup of Nations, thus very tricky opponents.”
After emphatic second group win, vs canal dwellers Panama:
“England look the real deal. If Neymar is valued at £200m, Kane must be worth at least £4billion. Now, if we come second in the group, we can charter our route to the final only slightly more easily than we can charter our route to the final if we top the group. Either way, we are definitely planning for be final. Live coverage of Lightning Seeds a capella version of It’s Coming Home given focus on Radio 4.”
After the pens R16 knockout of bean-farming cheats Colombia:
“Let the unreasonable expectations begin. We endlessly and shamelessly bastardize everything of note in English cultural history to include Harry Kane’s face, such as the famous Lord Kitchener poster and Bernard Manning. Endless interviews with overhyped fans and digging up the corpses of long-forgotten England players like Paul Parker for that tasty optimistic soundbite.”
After the QF win against a very shit Sweden:
“We go nuclear. The world cup is so practically ours we should get the engraving process going now. Get every single middle-class presenter to feign an interest in England’s progress, especially cunts like Bill Turnbull. Expect populist references aplenty from politicians. Extend interviews to total fucking nutcases like the shitbanter geezercunt who halted his wedding to hashtag England’s win live, and that bloke who once got caught masturbating with Lampard’s flip flops.”
5mins after the defeat to Croatia:
“A nation stands saddened, but proud.”
20mins after the defeat to Croatia:
“A nation stands saddened, but proud… although Kane wasn’t so good tonight.”
1 hour after the defeat to Croatia:
“Southgate is a waistcoat wearing cunt, we only beat shit sides and we need an inquisition and a fucking scapegoat. Nothing less than the jugular. Did we mention how shite Harry Kane was?”

Hence the English media are absolute fucking cunts who without fail suck the joy right out of supporting England.
