When i used to live on the Essex Road in Islington,you'd have all these Arsenal fans getting hammered when their team played but i've rarely seen violence apart from some of the very pissed ones falling outside the pub uncapable of moving.I also worked at Charlton stadium about 5 years ago for about 2 months and the fans were just plain ordinary blokes with wives/girlfriends etc who happened to be passionate about football.To think that football is a cause for
malaise in Britain is very,very wrong.And if i say so it must be true because,after all, i happen to be able to stick a pen up my nostril and make it come out of my anus.
