As Hobbo said, there is not a problem with English top flight football matches at all now. No violence, no (real) racism etc. So PAulie and Nels would be fione to go to any Premier league game, like Paulie planning.

The same cant be said for many of the coutries in Europe. Big problems in Italy, Turkey, the Baltic nations and most Eastern European leagues. Although its not all teams in these leagues. Its like England was 20 years ago, and worse in some cases. Spain and France have their problems too.

Why doesnt it happen in England anymore? Probably because its too expensive to go to games here now regualry, for the historical classes involved (Yes, Chelsea head hunters were mainly made of of stock-brokker types). So if there is trouble, it tends to be away from the grounds, were the groups have agreed to meet. So very unlikely for an outsider to get involved. Of course pub fights do happen around football. But im sure they happen all over the world when it comes to sport.

What this has to do with the OP, I have no idea but its another post towards heaven (2000).
