Administrator Stan Posted July 11, 2021 Author Administrator Posted July 11, 2021 It probably is carnage though. Whether it happens on any given night out or not doesn't make it any less carnage today. Seen some 'carnage' down Leicester Square today as well. Suppose its the downside to having an 8pm kick off. Plenty of hours for people to get tanked up in any way they choose.

Sorry but to me 'carnage' is something like the 2011 riots where I felt unsafe not leaving the house, not some pissed up blokes throwing a traffic cone about.

Maybe, just maybe, he didn't mean just that by itself.

Like I said, doesn't make it any less carnage just cos you've seen it before at a local Derby.

And it doesn't make it actually carnage, just because you keep saying it is? This is a nation that's rioted over football matches though, a few bottles being thrown and a bit of mess between probably fans of rival domestic clubs is not bloody carnage.

Just an opinion that I think it is. It's not that big of a deal what it's labelled though. Shitty behaviour, bit of mess, drunken behaviour, whatever.
Azeem Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 So far my analysis says It's 20% who genuinely dislike English team 25% who don't but the cringe English fanbase makes them to detest them 15% English fans who are paranoid that everyone hates them. 30% genuine Italy fans, don't love or hate England 10% who just are ok with any of the team to win

And it happens in other countries during major tournaments, see Euro 2016 and Russia 2018 or Brazil 2014 (where an Argentinian fan got shot, which to me is rather more 'carnage' than some bottles being thrown)

Honey Honey Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 This game is likely getting too big for England. Just seeing all the fans at the hotel for the team leaving. Keeping focus and staying grounded is going to be a challenge in itself.

God knows how Gareth Southgate is going to 'shield the lads from what's going on in the country in a protective bubble' after the past 48-72 hours.

There's a reason lots of UK derbies got held on early kick offs.

Honey Honey Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 Right that's me off now. Win or lose see you all in A&E.
ASF Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 Just want to wish our lads in here a good match. Enjoy the day. It's an amazing experience.
