I haven't seen a single Englishman in denial, every single person I have spoken to acknowledges the element is there, as have I just a few pages back, as have the press, as have the news outlets, as have the governing bodies.
What sticks in the craw is there is overwhelming evidence it was instigated by French on first night, then the Russians.
100% those English who wanted it also got what they came for. But having followed Spurs in Eutope I and mates have been with have been targeted, singled out and attacked, it ain't nice.
The past couple of days have seen sustained and highly organized attacks on ordinary fans enjoying a beer. The French prosecution has acknowledged this yet not one Russian has been nicked, only English. I have no way of knowing if those that have been nicked were defending themselves or their for their kicks but given the reports it wouldn't supprise me that it's a bit of both.
