What is the matter with you two? What's so wrong with everyone enjoying a bit of camaraderie, banter and fun with opposing supporters? It's a far better thing to see at the end of a match than the incidents at Luton last week. I suppose it's too much of a "family atmosphere" thing again is it? I guess you didn't dress up?

Fwiw, we had a lot of fun at Southampton AGAIN. It was a pleasure to be welcomed so warmly by their fans, officials and stewards and I particularly liked the "race" between the two trainers coming on to sort out the clash between two players - followed by the chorus of "That's why we're going down" again when we got there second.

Exeter as well, I would not bother arguing Gal she has it out for us anyway, talking like we would like to see incidences like at Luton in the past week just takes the biscuit.

To be fair, that's not what she said at all... Just that Saturday's atmosphere is far more appropriate than the scenes at Luton, Burton and Hull.

Fans invaded the pitch at the final whistle, grabbing at Gerrard who had to push one away who tried to snatch his captains armband. After that, they collided with police who tried to usher them off the pitch and a few missiles were thrown at Liverpool fans.

As one who has seen the worst of football hooliganism / violence and been in grounds where the atmosphere has been so malevolent that you have feared for your life, I for one am more than pleased that a happy clappy atmosphere can exist between rival supporters.

I doubt if anyone is advocating going on the pitch etc, however from what I've experienced the atmosphere at many grounds is much improved, you can wear your colours openly and without fear, and IMO long may that continue.
