Football Fans Face Struggle To Be Sufficiently Furious In Time For New Season. With only days to go before the football season kicks off, there are concerns that a combination of British sporting success and nice sunny weather will make it impossible for fans to muster the swivel-eyed malevolence necessary to follow the sport correctly. âPastimes like crown green bowls, golf and Rugby Union can foster a sense of well-being in the spectator which can take days or even weeks to leave the system,â said football scientist and Bolton Wanderers fan John Spinks, âFor example Iâve spent the whole summer chilling in the conservatory, mojito in hand, bellowing out things like âHey, nice shot Andy!â or âWell bowled, that man!â so it will take a few games before Iâm totally at home telling a youth team player that heâs a worthless f**king c**t.â âI expect that many fans had the same problem after last summerâs unprecedented success in the Olympics. For the first few games I even let opposing players take corners without throwing coins at their heads.â âI suppose it could be an age thing though. From match day one, my 9 year-old was furiously launching Starbursts at the fourth official.â But Manchester City supporters club chairman Hector Matos was anxious to put minds at rest, âIn the end, everyone is just as miserable in their jobs and resentful of their families as they were in May and these are issues that can only be properly resolved by screaming at a bald man with a whistle or punching a police horse in the face. If anything, these emotions have been unnaturally bottled up all summer and will erupt in a glorious frenzy of Munich chants and glassings.â âItâll be all go from the first whistle.â
