    They didn't say engerland, you irish people can't pick up the accent properly.. they said england in a very faint tone.

    Oh, I'm sorry - I didn't realise I was replying to you.


    It was a reference to the 'Yamyam/Black Country' dialect (commonly confused with 'Brummy'). You should know that, being a fellow Brit and all.

    Noddy Holder is a Black Country chap, hence the joke about him in a shop buying new outfit:

    Assistant: And would you like a kipper tie?
    Noddy: Yeah, milk and two sugars please.

    I didn't say they said Engerland, all I said is it reminds me of the song.

    It's a sports thing....like shouting IRE-land when in polite company it is pronounced Are-Land. And just look at how the French say France or the Germans pronounce Germanland.:)

    Its funny, I have noticed over the last couple of years that the supporters of english soccer have decided to add an extra syllable to their countries name. Crazy English, how more silly can they get.?:rolleyes:

    Engerland.....

    Anyone know why?
    For the same reason Dublin is pronounced 'dub-ah-lin' in trad folk songs. For instance, we don't sing about the Dublin Fusiliers, it's always the 'Dub-a-lin Fusiliers... With yer left foot, right about-face, this is the way we go...

    Weird how adding an extra syllable to England can turn you into a knacker while changing handbag to han-de-bag can elevate you from a poor rep performance of Lady Windemere's Fan into Laurence Olivier.

    It's supposed to satirically approximate a thuggy football cry of England.

    Where it fails badly is that the satire is usually performed by mongs in Manchester United or Liverpool shirts who have spent a considerable number of years creating a hallucinatory world in which they ("we") are actually Scousers/Mancunians themselves.
