    I was tucked up nice and warm at home with a glass of something in hand inside an hour.

    I REGRET NOTHING!

    When were you a bad football supporrter? Confess, you monster! Get it off your chest.

    Remember when the police used to divide Tottenham High Road in two - Arsenal down one side and Spurs down the other? I once walked out of WHL with my mate and as we left the stadium we realised that somehow we'd ended up on the wrong side of the road.

    The abuse I hurled at Arsenal fans that day had to be heard to be believed

    I got lucky at Boro - similar situation but my red 'n white scarf was like a lot of theirs and, thank feck, I didn't wear any silkies that day. A few got picked off on the way to the station simply because of their silkies - they just didn't do them.

    What a horrible, horrible place that is.

    That pub near the new ground, The Navigation? inhabited by some of the most feral looking knuckle-draggers I've ever seen.

    In 2001 I got ejected from the Arsenal end of the old Bayern ground during the first half of our last second phase group match. I had been heavily on it it with some wonderful Germans in a nearby bar (dedicated to Charlton Athletic of all things) and swapped scarves with one of the aforementioned hun which I wore in the ground. The Polizei assumed that I was one of them and my inability to talk did nothing to persude them of my Englishness and I was thrown out. On a positive note Lyon couldn't beat Spartak and so we qualified for the QFs and we spent the rest of the night is a strip club/brothel with a group of Munich 1860 fans - football eh!!

    Did you not give yourself away by speaking a language recognisable as English, h?

    I once watched us come back from 0-2 down in the Cup from the North Bank of Upton Park. When Merse equalised I jumped in the air and, just as a cheer was about to escape my lips, I managed to strangle it so that it ended up sounding something like 'YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAOUUUUUCUUUUNTTT!'

    I still got some fúcking iffy looks.

    We are talking bang smack in the middle of the Gallowgate mob I. Being so outnumbered didn't mean nothing because just one of them could probably have done about ten of us. THey were bigger, older, meaner, uglier. Most of them had no front teeth ( not a joke).
