you still here? I thought you were leaving and not a moment too soon, send us a postcard from mid-Atlantic where you belong, you can keep your culturally vacuous nation of lager louts all to yourself, you deserve it. CYA!

Canny take the Angles anywhere less they want to throw bottles and fight, its much better when they dress up as chicks and go to watch cricket, thats more like them, but this drinking and fighting, its for people that can hold their beer, not for pansies brought up on water full of oestrogen. 😵

So, I see our thread's resident hooligan will not tackle the sources provided
by @Kegge demonstrating that, indeed, hooliganism is largely seen as an
'English thing'. With plenty, plenty cases dating back to the 1880s.

Why the "inverted commas"? 😛

Actually, I'm glad you decided to actually read the page at the link you posted in that other thread. I hope it answered all your snippy questions to me.

Hmm. Could it be that it wasn't English fans that started the trouble?

I don't know, maybe it was just Lager louts having a go at Johnny Foreigner.

I hope the perpetrators get their just deserts either way 😉

Modern historians say that French riot police started Crécy and Agincourt too. Or it could be the Crimean War against Russia all over again, with French riot police switching sides in the fog of war and causing the Charge of The Light Brigade (by which I mean the last 5 minutes of the 1-1 draw last night).

NEWSFLASH!

The BBC to the rescue: the poor, peaceful and ever sober English fans,
purveyors of refinement and good manners, were taunted by a horde of
ugly, uncivilized and evil Russians.
