Philadelphia's fans are celebrating the Super Bowl triumph of the city of brotherly love by...errr...smashing it up. :hehe:

There is a long and storied history of American sports fans wrecking their cities after winning the Championship. And Philly fans are known as some of the most objectionable around. They relish in the reputation.

If memory serves, the fine citizens of Chicago did a particularly good number on that city after the Bulls won the NBA championship some years back.

Frequently happens to whichever city's team win the Stanley Cup, all very bizarre.

We just had a kickabout across Blackstock Road when we won the league

Gosh. Who knew?

This chap's dedication to misbehaviour is especially admirable, I think.

I can't help but feel that Rocky ought to be out there exhorting them to be better people, t.

Right. Apart from William Penn, the Liberty Bell and the Declaration of Independence, that exhausts my knowledge of Philadelphia.

I went to a wedding there once. Nice station, church should have had air conditioning. Finished up in a bar in the middle of nowhere where the bride (my cousin) turned up but not the groom. Ended up playing pool in her basement (stop it - not a euphemism) with the lad who drove us home. He was so pissed he could barely hold a cue, which given we had got back through some quite windy roads perplexed me. That's my Philadelphia Experiment anyway

Bit bitter, imo.
