Should England have its own national anthem and what should it be (for football matches and such like)

I'd like to scrap the playing of National Anthems at any sporting event. It's a game of football or a bike race, not a bloody war.
Jingoistic nonsense.

I see we have a Queen theme developing so Sir Freddie is anthem writer laureate in CC's book.
"We are the champions" would definitely be jingoistic. And wrong most of the time.

They used to play that at the end of finals, just to rub the salt into the wounds of the losers.

I don't think people will wait. There's six or seven verses to the current national anthem, but we only ever sing the first.

Could not play that at a football match. We never win F A.

I suggest that someone puts some words to the Corrie theme...
"Englands a lovely place,
Home, for the human race,
You, can get off,
Your face.....
In England's green and pleasant land."

How about Tub Thumping? I think it sums up the nation and it works for the football thing.
