Comments on: We’re Misunderstood http://westhamprocess.FootballUNITED.com/2009/07/03/were-misunderstood/ Musings in Claret and Blue Fri, 23 Jul 2010 09:45:20 +0100 http://FootballUNITED.com/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Matthew Read http://westhamprocess.FootballUNITED.com/2009/07/03/were-misunderstood/#comment-4015 Matthew Read Sun, 26 Jul 2009 07:14:31 +0000 http://westhamprocess.FootballUNITED.com/?p=1893#comment-4015 Honestly one of the problems with the modern European game (both at club and national level) is the fact that Michel Platini is completely racist! He hates the English and will do anything to get them out of the champion’s league and international competitions! If we look at the last International European Cup England weren’t even there and there was plenty of violence and rows, now if we look at Russia last year with Chelsea and Man U there was no violence with 2 English clubs! This is very similar to Leeds United's tag of 'Dirty Leeds' just because England fans used to be bad we always will be apparently! I have been to a lot of games with different nations and to me we are no worse than the rest and much better than the Italians, Turkish and Spanish. As I said it is just Michel Platini hating England and trying to give us a bad name! .-= Matthew Read´s last blog ..<a href="http://matthewread88.FootballUNITED.com/2009/07/09/the-growing-concern-of-players-wages/" rel="nofollow">The growing concern of players wages!</a> =-.<p class="wp-report-this"><a href="http://westhamprocess.FootballUNITED.com?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=comment&object_id=4015&width=250&height=300" class="thickbox" title="Report this comment">Report This Comment</a></p> Honestly one of the problems with the modern European game (both at club and national level) is the fact that Michel Platini is completely racist!

The new SBO logo is better than some of our previous logos though . . . BAC windows, Dagenham Motors??<p class="wp-report-this"><a href="http://westhamprocess.FootballUNITED.com?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=comment&object_id=3997&width=250&height=300" class="thickbox" title="Report this comment">Report This Comment</a></p> Nigel, why not buy a training top, similar material, black, blue and silver to choose from – no sponsors logo.

Also, our outward aggression is perceived as extremely intimidating and frightening to other nationals attending these events. We are hardened to this culture and can sense the difference between harmless and harmful enthusiasm, but it really is our cultural problem and not theirs. I have seen a lot over the years, but I still cringe at some of the general behaviour (non violent) of england fans. Its not football. We just dont raise our children with the same level of respect and humility as our forefathers did.<p class="wp-report-this"><a href="http://westhamprocess.FootballUNITED.com?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=comment&object_id=3996&width=250&height=300" class="thickbox" title="Report this comment">Report This Comment</a></p> Unfortunately, on the full international scene, the thuggish minority seems to be a much larger proportion than at league matches.It attracts a certain type.
