Going Bananas

Was having a discussion with a mate over the weekend on how it would be great to go back to the "banana days". People go on about how Eastlands atmosphear is flat but our away following these days is nothing like the way it used to be. Used to be more or less party time when we went to places, not anymore. Corporate johnny-come-latelys and the PC brigade have put a stop to that.

we went crazy with them a few years back in the FA cup with pearce, preston, blackburn were all quite good
 
the club should give out free inflateable bananas on each seat for the next home game not like they cant afford it!! would create a wicked atmosphere
 
Bring back the lazer blue trackies as well. Never mind the Rockport boots, blue kickers and Donnay that so many wear :-(

That must be right. Swearing in front of children should be encouraged, 'smaller people' should not be allowed to watch the match they paid for and 'M' songs should be compulsory.

As for the PC Police, they are always after our bananas, aren't they?

As you are both clearly capable of using the internet, why don't you read something other than tabloid drivel?

For your convenience, there was originally one 6 foot banana dressed as our Jewish centre forward from which flowed thousands of inflatables of all descriptions. There were even some gorillas. Oh, and DB was the mascot at the Stoke game but he won't disclose what costume he was wearing. All I could manage was a blue face. There were a few Rabbis and Arabs behind me in the stand. Hence, not as much has changed as you seem to think [or believe from reading red tops]! This 'PC Lot' argument is getting really, really boring. Please move on into 2009 as I know you have the intelligence to do it.

So true, coleridge. The "PC Brigade" comments are used when ability and intelligence are lacking to understand slightly complex circumstances, I'm afraid. With that in mind, it makes your last sentence totally redundant, unfortunately.
 
Thanks, Ghost in my house. A very funny post.

I always try to be polite and constructive even when it's obviously a waste of time and energy. Ho Hum...

This must be right, my friend. As I remember, Imre Banana develop a cult following in a short space of time [6 foot banana, face drawn on, wearing city shirt and so on, along with the 'Imre, Imre Banana, Imre Banana, Imre Bananana... hey' song.

Imagine that, being the unwittingly leader of the world's first banana cult. I am sure that he was asked about it and was simply bemused.
 
I thought it started with a promotion before a game at maine road for fyffes bananas they were throwing keyrings and inflatables into the crowd and it just caught on.

next home game there should be an inflatable banana on every seat like they did with scarfs against the scum - would be an amazing sight - 40,000 bananas then nobody could complain about it blocking their view
