This will come as a shock to a lot of you, but I’m not much of a football fan.
That said, there’s quite a good atmosphere building up in Liverpool city centre ahead of tonight’s hootenanny, if you define atmosphere as “loads of scallies wearing Liverpool shirts drunkenly singing You’ll Never Walk Alone“.
I saw a couple of so-called “fans” walking around with old shirts with “Crown Paints” logos on. That’s just not acceptable — if you’re going to call yourself a supporter, you should pay the rip-off prices for replica strips just like everyone else. 8)
