The english , as a nation, have always been warmongers. Weve always loved a scrap, and when we were at war for centuries at a time there was ample opportunities for young men to join up and go and scrap with another country.I strongly believe that football hooliganism in the 70's / 80's was a form of homo-eroticism.
All those young men struggling with their true feelings, not being able to come out as gay as it just wasn't accepted back then meaning they turned to violence to get all that stress out.
They probably engaged in a bit of mutual masturbation after a good scrap too.
As national service ended young lads just found other ways and other people to scrap with. Mods fighting rockers etc.
Then it manifested itself into football hooliganism. The young men of that era just latched onto scrapping exactly the same type of young man who just happen to support another football team.
When it comes down to it, the english just love a fucking good fight.
