Unpopular Opinion thread

[Marty]

The ‘You’re fucking shit’ and ‘Arsenal fan on a string’ songs make me feel ashamed to be a fan of the club, and embarrassed to be associated with the fans that sing them.

I think people who talk about the good old days of firms and fighting are knuckle-dragging pond life. Angry simpletons that should be behind bars for the safety of more evolved humans.

On this forum the former thankfully isn't an unpopular opinion, it's been brought up so many times. Unfortunately those who frequent this site are just a small percentage of those who go to games.

As for the latter, completely agree. I had a mate when I grew up (not a Spurs fan) who was always a bit of a lad but didn't appear to have a violent bone in his body. About five years ago he got involved in all kinds of firm-y shenanigans and fights both here in Norway and in the UK and he has recently served a several year ban from football grounds in the UK. When I ask him why the hell he does it, he just replies "it's fun". Why is it fun? "Dunno, just is". This man has two kids as well FFS.
