Blood Red Square: Violence At Champions League Final
by Anorak | 2nd, May 2008
“FANS FACE RED SQUARE UP,” says the Star, kicking off the tabloids’ traditional jingoistic build up to every big match on foreign soil.
It’s Russian Chelsea v American Manchester United in Moscow and “supporters fear chaos could end in a riot”.
Fear or hope? It’s unclear.
“Violent mafia gangs rule the streets and crooked police ignore drug abuse and prostitution…so will Moscow welcome the 100,000 British football fans for this month’s prestigious Champions’ League final.”
Sounds like they’re well prepared.
