I thought the bigoted attitudes of your supposedly humorous blog posts were tongue and cheek but I guess not. Remember you are Chelsea and you are vile.
I also thought that the "Driver on the Wing" posts were satirical, even though I found them far too close to bigoted xenophobia for my taste. Turns out I can't really believe that any more.
As someone very new to this football supporting malarkey, I have to say that that video has really reinforced the parts of the football world that have always put me off.
I know that Clive is an intelligent, courteous and generally polite person. It seems that the exception to this is when he is in football-fan mode. The manner in which this dogmatic, quasi-religious devotion to a team can alter someone's personality in such a vile way is quite revolting.
My initial reaction is to put Clive on ignore and give up my incubating dalliance with "the beautiful game".
Classy.

Clive isn't the only one. Just ask B&D what he thinks of Liverpool. He called everyone I know and love in that city (best friends, Aunts, Uncles, my Godson) thieving scum. All the while many sat there reading and few said a thing....
I'm just glad I never tried getting on the train with Clive.

Scouse scum. Hmmm a little too far me thinks. That's hardly the opinion shared by others. This chap from Sunderland seemed to have a fine day out in Liverpool despite watching his team lose 6-2 at Goodison.
It was a cracking game and it could have been 6-2 the other way but for some inspired wing play from Deulofeu and clinical finishing by Kone. What did strike a chord was the chanting of Howard Kendall's name on the 4th minute by both Sunderland and Everton fans. Kendall hails from the North East and it was great to see two sets of fans come together and celebrate the memory of a true footballing gent.
The only time I've ever felt intimidated/threatened at a football match was watching Everton at Stamford bridge in 1996, I was 16. Getting yelled at and threatened by skinheads inside the ground wasn't much fun, neither was walking around the building site of a stadium. Still I got to watch Zola, Vialli and Gullit whom I grew up idolising watching Serie A. It was a decent game finishing 2-2
So Clive, before you start badmouthing and making ridiculous sweeping statements about fans from other parts of the UK, you should take a long hard look at your own. I never had any issues at Highbury, White Hart Lane, Upton Park or Selhurst Park whilst watching football in London in the 90s. I thought the bigoted attitudes of your supposedly humorous blog posts were tongue and cheek but I guess not. Remember you are Chelsea and you are vile.
