The cheer up thread.

The Aussie newspapers were particular hysterical. My favourite one has to be the headline, "It was POMICIDE!"

[Wildeybeast]

Yep, they seem to be in national mourning. Hilarious.

They're good sports the Aussies they always make it worthwhile beating them. We Brits are so bleeding pessimistic about our chances we never seem that surprised about losing, the Aussies always seem genuinely shocked (of course that's why they do generally do very well)

It was breathtakingly bad, I don't think we should get too uppity though because when we do 1) we get brought down to earth humiliatingly quickly 2) we cope with it worse than they do (every time we lose the ****ing tabloids lose their **** at the team and we wonder why good players stay in the counties) and 3) they humiliated us soundly for a good decade not too long ago 4) they won 5-0 last Ashes.

Very much in the 'dude....do you want to just start again?' of horrific defeats....All Out for 60 runs? I can't stand Cricket, and even I know that that's a terrible, terrible game - for both sides (good result, but bad game)

See the Football World Cup every year for more details. England has a hilarious rate of attrition on managers given how each of them gets blamed for all the team's problems and crucified...

And it's never, ever blamed on some of the players being ill disciplined, spoilt little thugs who refuse to play as a team.
