Quoted from TownSNAFU5
Town come first, week in week out.   England winning would be fantastic for the country and football.  However, where were we when they were so c rap for many years.  

Winning Div 2 would be our first championship since 1980.


And winning The World Cup would be England's first championship since 1966.

Normally I'm with you all the way, club before country every time but I don't think that England are going to get a much better chance of winning The World Cup than this year, when you look at the teams left in it, so for me England to win The World Cup and Town to finish 2nd or 3rd please.

Quoted from kamakazebear
I’ve always and still say town, but I was a hell of a lot more nervous during that England shoot out than I was the Bristol Rovers one


Wow. The Colombia shootout was nerve wracking for sure, but barring the births of my two children (both of which went very badly) I don’t think I’ve ever felt more ill in my life as I did during and after that Bristol Rovers shootout.

15 pints and 30 degree heat probably didn’t help but for me that was as stressful as ultimately trivial things get in life.

As to the original question, I enjoy the World Cup from the perspective of being able to watch games with ‘interest’ without that same level of gut-wrenching nervousness. I’d love England to win the World Cup but I still don’t think I’d celebrate a last minute Harry Kane winner in the final like I did that Nathan Arnold goal.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Another question is how much would you pay to see these 2 great outcomes?

I will bid at a 1K for each.  I would pay more to avoid going back into NL again.  The latter would also be a Jolley good time.

No contest. England to win the World Cup. Town will have plenty of chances to win the championship. And other ways of getting promotion are available.

But the only time England won the World Cup I was 3 and we had home advantage. It probably won't happen again in my lifetime. So it'll be one more chance to stick one on all the cheating Diegos out there.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Town to finish 2nd and England win World Cup


This gets my vote.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

I'm unsure why they have to be mutually exclusive, and for this reason I'm not voting.
