Enduring football myths & clichés

[Henkeman]

Yes, just as I would Parma, Wimbledon, Clydebank, third Lanark, Airdrie and Gretna fans

You can probably add Manchester United to that, given the date they claim as their creation.

The Kop sucking the ball into the net.

You had me at "The Kop sucking", although that's no myth.

City fans are desperate to start a rivalry with Liverpool.
(Preaching to the conversation, I know but... it was match-going Scousers who celebrated as both Yaya and Ederson were stretchered off and Liverpool fans who wrecked two City buses but mentioning this constitutes being desperate to start a rivalry).

It's every little boy's dream to play at Old Trafford (it wasn't fucking mine).

Arsenal are paragons of dignity and virtue.

City are doomed as soon as the sheikh gets bored.

 

[The Riot Club]

The 'United Way'. Park the bus and hoof the ball more like.

Referees are impartial.

Sunday supplement is a very relevant football discussion show.

'never in my lifetime'.. ...er excuse me, ha ha ha.

Got to admit this is probably my favourite.

Liverpool fans - "well known for being fair minded & sporting".

Newcastle & Sunderland fans - "they know their football up there in the North East"

Mark Hughes -"my teams are always stronger in the second half of the season"

 

[The Footy Diary]

Mark Hughes -"my teams are always stronger in the second half of the season"

They are - after he gets sacked in January ;)

He’s a football man

680m fans.

All the “die hards” want rid of the plastics or so they say. Guess what! 679 million of those fans absolutely are plastics and tourists. Can’t have it both ways.
