Had to go from Prestwich to Cheshire to pick my daughter up at her mates and was on the M56. Naturally it was full of cars heading for the M6 or Wales full of the scum, with their flags and scarves hanging out of the windows. I just wanted to run the bastards off the road.
So if I had got the chance to yell abuse at some of you so you could hear, this is what you would have heard:
"Wherever you are going, Surrey, Kent, Devon, Hampshire, the Midlands - F*** off back there and don't come back you plastic, glory-hunting. smug, self-satisfied, gormless wankers! Go and support your local team - Brighton, Southampton, Fulham, Swindon, Northampton, Dagenham, Reading or whoever. Are your empty little lives in your dreary little towns so devoid of excitement that you have to follow a team that plays in a place you have absolutely no connection with?"
"A team that you call WE. WE won the league, WE won the League Cup WE did this, WE did that. Despite the fact that you probably have no connection whatsoever with WE, a team set up by immigrant Irish labourers in Newton Heath, a place you have never heard of and wouldn't know how to find."
"So F*** off back to Upper Drearyford, or wherever it is you come from and bask in the reflected glory you get from a team that plays its home games 150 or 200 miles away. Would you do it if they were in the middle of the Championship? Of course you wouldn't - you'd probably actually support your local team or, more likely, attach yourself to whatever team was winning things at the time. And they would be WE."
Thank you. Rant over. Feel much better.
