  1. Football fans have always been a bunch of lowlife racist idiots. Football teams sell their sport by creating hatred between local towns, cities and then nations.
    If you are a young man and you travel to the next town for work were always going to run into violence based on this stupid fcking game.
    Of course, he experiences racism, football is the main entertainment of racist thugs.

  2. Best wishes to Bukayo , a great young man and a great football player , as he gets ready to fly away for the World up . I'm sure he'll do his country proud .
