I'm going to shoehorn this in as we're talking about football.
At the Southend/Oxford game on Saturday suddenly there was a burst of noise from the Oxford fans as a chant I'd never heard directed at us before went up:

"Work in the summer, you only work in the summer".

It actually got a round of applause. I like Oxford, I've decided.


Hmm. Maybe you had to be there.

Everythings about football and football is about everything.

I'm not sure that's right, you know.

as a man who runs a pub in Oxford.
I don't like Oxford fans much at all.

I imagine that applies to anyone that runs a pub anywhere when football fans are in town.

They do; massive crowds of fat, ugly men. Shouting and swearing, pissing and fighting
clogging up the roads and filling the public transport with their "singing" and body ordor. All football should be played at out of town stadia

Did the nasty man look at you funny, or call you a name?
It's probably that silly 'tache, you know.

they just make a fucking mess, are aggressive and irritating and they cause transport chaos

They're just trying to earn a living.

they're not all bad for sure,
But there is a large contingent of the Oxford camp that is a violent bunch of wankers.
When Swindon came to here, they had to have a police escorts, as last time there was stabbings. Not nice.
