West Ham/Millwall game lives up to expectations

West Ham 3/ Millwall 1 (AET)
The Spoiler can’t help but feel sorry for genuine West Ham and Millwall fans this morning, whose clubs will once again be tarred by the brush of vile thugs who have absolutely no interest in the beautiful game. Several pitch invasions, two stabbings and anarchic rioting made the Carling Cup tie look like something from the 1970s/ present day South America, and not a country mounting a serious World Cup 2018 bid.

Aside from the chaos, a pat on the back is due for Jack Collison, who played in spite of the tragic accident that claimed his father on the way to Sunday’s match at Spurs.

If you read that headline and expected something other than a knife attack, you have a dirty mind

Around 1,500 Chelsea fans travelled to Turin last night to see their side earn a place in the final eight of the Champions League, but two Londoners found themselves subjected to some of Italy’s less hospitable supporters.

Before kick-off, the Chelsea fans were stabbed, and were taken to hospital with injuries to their derrieres.

Such attacks are said to be common “greetings” from Italian football hooligans, who clearly aren’t aware that a simple wave and smile is much more polite.

Scallywags and ruffians encouraged to engage in virtual warfare

Before a thoughtful software creator filled the void, the nation’s aspiring hooligans would have to attend football games to exorcise their violent impulses. Now, they have Little Hooliganz, a free game that means thugs don’t even have to leave the house to convey their meaningless rage in firms such as the ‘Sunderland Skylark Seekers’, the ‘Arsenal Aardvark Avengers’ and the ‘Manchester Monkey Men’. As the official website eloquently puts it:

Become the most notorious, respected and meanest Hooligan the world has ever known.

Earn some spondooley to purchase the things a Little Hooligan needs - food, beer, colours and weapons!

Challenge other Hooligans and show them who is da boss!

Find your very own beautiful Bimbo!!
