In a time when England sports fans are let down terribly by the national football team, Andy Strauss' men have been a breath of fresh air. Mr. Kitson and I stayed up beyond the
As Chris Tremlett bowled Michael Beer to claim the final wicket, Mr. Kitson responded calmly while I yelped like a flea-bitten mongrel. My response was more subdued when Arsenal equalised against Leeds in the F.A. cup tie.
Shortly after watching Leeds hold the mighty Arsenal to a draw, we witnessed Bath City entertain the once famous Luton.
There would be more respect for Luton if their fans weren't a bunch of whining tossers. Not happy with the referee (who if anything was favourable toward their team), the City fans, or even their own team, Luton had the vibe of a once famous team that still thought it was the big cheese.
City however are quite the opposite: humble backgrounds, a hard working team, honest manager and realistic fans who applauded the final whistle as though their team had won the game. The fans also stayed to give the players heartfelt applause. City prove that you don't have to be a traditionally big name club to have a touch of class.

I always thought it was "We're the right side, we're the right side, we're the right side over here", then the set of fans on the other side of the stand sing "We're the left side, we're the left side, etc", followed by the whole stand singing to the Aussie's "You're the convicts, you're the convicts, you're the convicts over there"
Yes you are quite right. I was merely pointing out the other meaning to the Barmy Army singing "We're the right side..".
