Russian football fans

Zenit St Petersburg sign a player from Barcelona for £41m.

Zenit fans stick up a banner at their next game telling the club not to sign any black people.

"We are not racist and for us the absence of black players is just an important tradition, emphasising the identity of the club and nothing more."

 

I just came back from a holiday at a resort mainly populated by Russians.

I don't think I've ever come across a race so diametrically opposed to British people in every way.  It was mental.

Did you have any combat training before being posted here dux?

Im reading the looking glass war at the moment. It all sound very dull for chaps like you. 

In Marseille, the Russians deliberately sought out and targeted the “good lads” among the English support - those who were just enjoying themselves and looking for a fight. It’s notable that they didn’t make any attempt to take on the bad lad element of the English contingent.
