    However, before the show aired, the producers of Why Does Everyone Hate the English? conducted a survey of 700 Irish people and asked them to list what they disliked the most about English people.
    In no particular order, here are the top 20 answers that were provided:
    • Football hooliganism
    • Brexit
    • They think they're the best at everything
    • Arrogance
    • Their obsession with winning the World Cup in 1966
    • Drunken people singing very loudly in the streets
    • Expecting everyone to speak English
    • Their obsession about Royal family
    • Binge drinking
    • Rudeness
    • Their tribal attitude to football
    • Their general 'pomp' when it comes to tennis and cricket
    • Going on about the war
    • The fact they seem to have no intention to learn any other language
    • Beer bellies
    • How much they moan
    • Wearing socks with sandals
    • Why people feel the need for orange fake tan in winter
    • They complain a lot
    • Their obsession with soap operas
    Football hooliganism AND Brexit?

    Just how low long was this survey taken over, sw?
    “Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”

    To be fair, if someone was foolish enough to ask an Irishman to come up with things they hate about the English, I'd imagine they were there a while.

    I think you're just jealous.
    People were asked about the English as part of the research for some UK based television programme.

    There most certainly is no "obsession".

    Most Irish people I know really could not care less about the English, the hatred or whatever is totally over played. We like to visit your country for weekends of leisure.

    Someone's not very good at compiling unique lists, unless moaning and complaining are different things in Ireland.

    Also, good thing Irish people don't binge drink.

    This was quite recent, past 12-18 months I think.

    Part of the recent Al Murray programmes about why you are so unpopular.

    I aim to blend in seamlessly with the Frogs and move among them as one of their own.

    can't be about me, sw.

    I'm not obsessed with winning the world cup in 1966 nor the Royal Family.

    Further more, I've never ever worn sandals, never mind, with socks.

    You'll need to smarten up a bit sw. Dirty fingernails. Wellies. Your aul' Da's coat tied up with bailing twine. These things are not de rigeuer in the City of Light.
