Life long LOI fan, and LOI only
LOI Fan and an EPL Onlooker
Support a team in each league equally
EPL First and LOI second
EPL Only, hate LOI
Pointless bit of information for y'all, but I'm bored.
The term "Little Englander" is one of the most incorrectly used phrases in the English, or indeed any other, language.
The term was first used by English people during the expansion of the British Empire who disagreed with British colonisation of other countries, including Ireland. They advocated for a "little England" i.e. a modest, non-nationalist England that didn't invade other countries.
So, contrary to current usage, a "Little Englander" was someone who didn't jingoistically believe in the superiority of their own country.
As you were.

Theres nothing wrong with supporting a foreign team as long as you support your local team first! I love LOI football but I also love the Premier League (Spurs fan) while I also follow La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga very closely but I've never stayed at home to watch that instead of going to a LOI match.
It's not just the barstoolers fault tho its the media too, I was watching 3England the other night and all you could hear from the commentators was we we us as in Manchester United, thats when I switched over to channel 5![]()

I think we should identify the 2 that voted "EPL only,hate LOI" and chop their bodies up into small pieces.The world will be a better place because of our actions and if we stick together none of us will be going to jail.![]()
