Hopkins: 'Brits are very arrogant and I'll bring out the worst in them'

Well he won't be going on parky because that show as finished unfortunate but true. Only a pocket of pissed up englishmen booed the american anthem apart from that we were very respectful and there was no trouble from hattons supposed hooligan following.

 

Must have been the same fat lager louts that were singing abuse at Hopkins then.:roll:

 

Wow - the microphones must have been really close to the "minority" then.

 

True but some of them weren't fat but they were bulit like brick shithouses.But hopkins was egging the crowd on he wanted a reaction and thats what he got.

 

sick article and awesome openening. bernard will be one to miss.

 

they were. All I was saying don't tie everybody with the same brush. Pride of Wales. Lets take you back to wales V england 2006 qualifier in cardiff who was booing god save the queen just a minority or the whole ****ing stadium because where I was sat it seemed to be the whole stadium.

 

Still another example of Brits abroad conducting themselves with a complete lack of dacorum. Bet most of the ****s were drunk before they even got off the plane.

He sure will.

 

Turpin, Benn, Lewis, Buchanan, McGuigan, Bruno etc.

None arrogant, all had success.

Eubank, Hamed and Hatton (a little) is another matter.

Britain has 1/6th the population of the USA so it's hard to compete for numbers of champions, but to say all British fighters are arrogant and bottle it is a load of crap.

 

It was a response to what we got in the game in Manchester/Liverpool (can't remember where exactly but the first game was in England and offended a lot of people). So yes, it was probably 95% of the stadium. But that is football's problem of which I hate because of the mindless idiots who support the game.

Take the Wales-England rugby games. We always want to beat the English more than every other team but the anthem is observed very well at rugby. I'm not saying two wrongs make a right but you have a short/selective memory if you can't see that it was brought on by the first game.

 

Well I wasn't and the few lads a met over there were great lads. Brits have been OK abroad for ages. There was one minor scuffle in the world cup and that was between pole and germans and not brits.

 

Spot on. America have two of the most arrogant boxers of all time PBF and Old man Hopkins. You are right pride of wales i don't follow union because I don't like it but its true the menatlity is different. I mean I was at swansea two weeks ago and the abuse one of our players got called craig davies who his a welsh international was ridiculous.

 

I just mean in general. I'm sick of the "av it large" mentality English people take everywhere. People think we're losing our identity because of immigration but they're just an easy scape goat masking the true problem which is the small minded mentality of the majority of people in this country.

 

Don't mistake us for the problems our government and local councils have manifested us for many people in britain become nationalistic due to the failings of goverment and get sucked into the menatlity of looking after themselves and forgetting the consequences. I mean **** the riots in Oldham happened seven years ago and as anything changed NO.

 

Separate issue mate. We have allowed our culture to become erroded by not respecting & looking after our country. Booze Britain, a nation of grasping, ignorami who feel they are owed a living & the right to complain.

 

agree totally. But suggesting all hatton fans are boozed up wankers is a bit of a generalisation.
