Are there any records of this phrase being used before pep started romping English football? Made up bollocks by whinging journos and lapped up and repeated by pseudo intellectual fans to make them feel good and cope with us winning.

It doesn’t even make sense on a political level. Let’s improve our nation’s image by buying a club in English football known for its tribalism, everyone will love us.

The likes of Jonathan Wilson have a lot to answer for.
