BAY SHORE, N.Y. -- Not much new to report. I'm tryna find a journo job and have some leads. In the spirit of journalism, I thought I would share with you this.
I've just started to read this book 'Among the Thugs' by Bill Buford. It's the book version of Green Street Hooligans and I have no doubt that the creators of the movie ripped the idea off this book. In the 1980s, Buford joins the Manchester United soccer gang and travels with them and pretty much everything that happens in the movie happens in the book.
From page 24 about Buford encountering one of the hooligans on a train ride to a game:
"When I came upon him, he had just tossed an empty beer can into the overhead luggage rack -- quite a few were there already -- and had started in on a bottle of Tesco's vodka.
I introduced myself. I was writing about football supporters. Did he mind if I asked him some questions?
He stared at me. Then he said, "All Americans are wankers." And paused. "All journalists," he added, "are cunts."
