This is because, historically speaking, we invented and exported hooliganism to he rest of the world from the 1970s onwards into the 1980s and were then the undisputed dons of hooliganism.

We are a shadow of our former selves, and are too disorganised now, but history makes us a target. Russian gangs armed with axes and clubs and knives are not playing by the unwritten "rules" of old-school hooliganism anymore either.


Re football - ITV panel of pundits are a joke. Crouch's teeth were unwatchable. Kane had a dreadful game and Vardy should have replaced him. Milner - hopeless depressing player. Lallana can't shoot for toffee, always scuffs his powder puff shots. Sterling - 50million, what a joke all he can do is run. Rose played superbly apart from the equaliser. Rooney is good in midfield. Woy hasn't got a clue - how did he survive after the brazil debacle?
