England football manager & the British national anthem.

The issue with changing is what to agree on? Classical in style, or drum n bass?

There are huge discussions at Cambridge United about changing our badge and no-one seems to agree on anything. Current one may be naff but it's 'ours'. The options given all have a lot of negativity and it seems like change for changes sake.

Having an X factor type show to choose a new one, no thanks, will be boring and bland. And as for 'modern British life'... lets not go down that where everyone lives in a mixed race household or that every advert needs to show someone in a wheel chair, someone obviously gay or trans, south asian, asian, black and white...

Like with many things, it's part of our heritage and history. It may be naff but it's our naff, leave it be. Far more important things to worry about!

I'm for a change to the anthem, lots of countries have changed there over the centuries.

Ours (Britain) is uninspiring to most people, maybe be some sort of contest were the public pick a newly written one. Something that is more appropriate to modern British life.

I see no reason not to have an England one too.

England should have their own, not use the United Kingdom anthem and also just use the appropriate flag.

Is that some kind of French nonsense?

Portuguese, I think...
