Why no Chelsea thread?

Yeah, thats the thing that strikes me as the weirdest thing, the age of some of these people.

And there are shite loads of normal fans, 2 minutes away from the ground you've got the Lily Langtry estate, one of the biggest council estates in london. The north end road is very working class. Thats the thing about london innit, the change from wealth to poverty or normal in a couple of steps.

I lived round there in the early Eighties before I moved up north, and it was solid working class. I worked in a pub near the ground (not there any more) and have written in here about some of the people who used to frequent the place.

When I went to the Fulham game in August I walked all round that area and met up with some mates in a pub full of Fulham fans. I was struck, as you say, by how working class the area between Fulham Broadway station and Craven Cottage is.

Same as SB though, all the houses leading to CG are worth a fortune.

This resurgence of racism at football is merely mirroring what we are seeing in society at large since Cameron unleashed the Brexit madness upon this country.

Brexit has rekindled a fear and loathing of foreigners and football grounds, alas, have always been a fertile breeding ground for this type of person to vent their inadequacies in anonymity.

Thank goodness for the EU, there's no blatant racism in its other members. Apart from France,Italy,Germany,,Hungary,Poland, Holland,Austria,Spain..........

We're still one of the least racist countries in Europe.

Not really the point though, Holden.

Notwithstanding the fact racism is rife around not only Europe, but around the whole world, the fact is it is on the rise in the UK since Brexit lent legitimacy to a mindset which blames Johnny Furrener for every ill in our society.

And it is on the rise.

It ain’t just ol’ Pet saying it.

thus is an extract from that article I linked


Meanwhile, a report by watchdog Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary earlier this year said hate crime rose after the 2016 Brexit referendum and the same could happen when the UK leaves the European Union in 2019.

Spot on, Pet.
Scum like Farage and Ukip have convinced sections of the UK public that racial and religious hatred is now acceptable.
Well, it fucking isn't.

[Bad Blue 2000]

Not all Chelsea fans are racist.

[Sid Pervcat]

Why us there such a contempt between Liverpool and Chelsea fans?

Any right minded fans should have contempt for racist fucking gobshites.
