I see the Uefa Conference final, between West Ham and Fiorentina is being held in Prague at a stadium which holds 20,000 fans. I hate to say it, but a sunny afternoon in Prague, cheap strong Czech lager and a mix of English and Italian nutcases, doesn't sound like a particularly pleasant cocktail.

Garden furniture swapping is probably going to be on the cards.

What could go wrong  

Always thought that mainland Europe was about 30 years behind us. All this continental Ultras stuff with the wrestling masks, no shirts, waving flares, bouncing up and down in unison is all a bit embarrassing.

The passion is good, the rest of it is a bit shit.

But the thing is, the 'Ultra' culture seems to have made it's way over here now. (I just picked a couple of videos at 'random' that I have seen before to illustrate)




I saw a Stockport one recently but I can't find that now.

Turning up on mass, marching & singing is fine, and personally don’t mind the flares & stuff.

Acting like a cunt to attack normal fans, kids & families isn’t, and never has been

100%. Those Alkmaar fans who were clearly out looking for destruction and decided to attack the family section are troglodytes of the highest order.

Philip Schofield admitted in court that his brother told him what had happened months before the police got involved yet he never reported it and now rather than reporting that the BBC still spout the line that 'he no longer has a brother'.

The footage of the large Hammers fan taking on the Ultras on his own, think the thugs shat themselves

The 20,000 capacity from the final is a recipe for disaster.

The 20,000 capacity from the final is a recipe for disaster.

Each team getting less than 5,000 tickets.
It’s got disaster written all over it, what with 10,000 tickets possibly ending up with touts

I'm not sure I have entirely got my head around what it even is yet, looks a bit Intertoto Cup to me.

It's literally a European competition for also-rans. A poor mans Europa League really. I guess it gives the teams in about 8th-10th in the top leagues something to aim for if nothing else.

I've never understood why people sit on a train with their bag occupying the seat next to them, especially on a busy train. Is it simply because they are a cunt?

I do it all the time because;

One] I don't want some smelly cunt sitting breathing all over me

Two] Trains tickets aren't fucking cheap as you'll know so my bag can have a free ride

Three] I'm usually on a long journey and want access to my snacks, if only train companies made the flap down tables fucking big enough in all coaches then I might be able to put more than just a bag of crisps on it. Plus I'm not paying around 6quid for a wank sandwich on the train [even if the train is lucky enough to provide said service or can provide it and can be arsed to actually serve]

Four] I am indeed a cunt. The average commuter will get over though - I'm sure  

Like they say, never meet your heroes  

Edit: I will add, if someone asks to sit there and they don't look like ancestor of Shrek/Sloth/smell like my former Maths Teacher then I'll gladly pop my bag on my lap

Had to take the daughter in law over to Cambridgeshire today for a work meeting. Put the postcode in the Satnav and a feeling of dread came over me when we arrived.

Ffs, I’d forgotten all about that.
