Anyone else see this yesterday? About 10 mins into the game. Few blokes nicked aswell. Cringeworthy behaviour.
Define Middle Class - dunno. don't know how to define working class either, except I used to think I was the latter and now I think I am the former. I read a definition the other day that had if you read novels you are middle class.
But I don't think my problem is with class at all. It's more about respect, peace, love and understanding. What's so funny about that?
I did read somewhere that you know you're working class when your TV is bigger than your bookshelf.
I guess that makes me middle class but I certainly don't feel it!!
I think we all notice the great and good sometimes. I stayed away in the 80s because fans looked harsh, twisted and confrontational. Not for me. I go now and look harsh, twisted and confrontational. Must be me and my middle class attitude.I seldom go to a game - I stopped when we bought Marlon King. I went to Pompey though - first return since the recidivist arrived. Whilst there were no fisticuffs per se, there was plenty of aggressive gesturing. In particular I recall one Portsmouth fan whose first reaction to scoring was to turn to the Coventry end and make rather rude hand signals. Where is the joy in that? He must spend his entire life in miserable negativity and anger.
At half time there were sallow-faced Coventrians defying the 'No Smoking'signs and puffing away in the toilets - blocking the way and stinking out the facilities for people wanting to pee. I looked around me as I went back to my seat - many people looked like exactly the sort I would cross the street toavoid - grey of complexion with sunken-in lifeless eyes.
This isn't how I remember the experience of going to a game. Maybe now I am older and middle-class I have changed. I think it will be a long timebefore I go again.
Oh dear...Only bookcase I have is on my iPhone :-/
Scum... Sub-human Scum!
Oh yeah? C'mere and say that.

I'm not surprised about the fighting. Just look at this forum. Look how violent people can get toward each other because of different opinions on the squad/manager. It's fucking pathetic.
