"Tongue in cheek."
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.
