00Please look at this:02br
02br
00It was not the size of the crowd that impressed me most, however, or the way adults were allowed to shout abuse at players as loud as they wanted without attracting any attention. What impressed me most was just how much of the men around me hated, really hated, being there. As far as I could tell, nobody seemed to 01font00enjoy02font00, in the way that I understood the 01font00word,02font00 anything that happened during the entire afternoon. Within minutes of the kick-off there was real anger (You are a disgrace, 01font00Holt, 02font00he is a disgrace a hundred quid a week? A hundred quid a week they should give me for watching you); as the game went on, the anger turned into outrage, and then seemed to curdle into sullen, silent discontent. When I went to the other grounds I saw the same things: that the natural state of football fan is bitter disappointment, no matter what the score.02br
