Despite this the most heartwarming and charasmatic Brits I ever met were in Istanbul when Liverpool won a game in six minutes time. Instead of bombarding us with piss, insults or in your face chants like I have witnessed Interisti, Juventini, Deportivo and Barca fans do the scousers applauded Milan at the end of the game and gave them a standing O. Then outside the gates they clapped and cheered as we made our way out and slowly asked us to exchange scarfs, jerseys et al.
So despite the bullsh*t about the hooligans and chavs they were the best respresentations of Brits abroad while the Yuppie crowd was just another 'click' who thought their job, wealth or clothes set them apart from the rest of society...nothing new in that concept.
