BMH hits the streets

After an absence of two years, Brian Moore’s Head is returning in paper form for the Swansea game on Saturday. When we disappeared into cyberspace at the end of the 2005-06 season we said we would return if we had a good reason to do so.

England my England

I am not what you’d call a stereotypical England fan. I’m a typical leftie Guardian reader, I have middle class guilt about our colonial past and a problem with the national anthem given I don’t believe in God and am a republican. I don’t have any tattoos and my knuckles don’t scrape the ground as I walk down the street. I don’t sing “No surrender” and find typical little-Englander behaviour abroad completely cringe worthy but then thankfully that stereotype, born from the 80’s and 90’s television news coverage of fat pissed blokes chucking garden furniture at each other in various cities across mainland Europe is less and less representative of what the modern England fan is really like.
