Several thousand men away from home, off the leash and on the lash, wandering from bar to bar with groups of their pals (and after a few beers several dozen more of their newest best friends)...
That's why.
That's why.

Go for it, Audere. I am a dyed in the wool Spurs fan [though I've never seen them play in the flesh, how wimpish is that] and will be with you in spirit - just like the rest of you.
If you want a cheapish hotel, we stayed in the hotel Central [which does exactly what it says on the tin]. There were a few very cheap bars nearby, where the odd tourist was clearly an event; one we found had a picture of President Havel on one wall, and a bust of Stalin on the other. THe Czech version of the Vicar of Bray, I suppose.
The only draw-back to the hotel was that we could never find our way back to it - might be a bit of a snag if you'd had one too many.
good luck to you and the lads.

After Saturday's hopeless performance against ten men, the chances of Spurs' supporters being anything other than bloody miserable if they're playing against a full team are - well, about the same as an alumnus of the Winchester Arms getting his Latin right.
And you'll see more excitement in the pages of Charlotte Bleeding Bronte.

It's sad because it's true. We failed to overcome 10 mickeys, and were as inept as we were back in the days of lah-di-dah Gunner Graham. It was even the rubbish mickeys at that - the one's that hadn't won at the lane in 22 years.
Rather than go to the game I think I'll just find a nice bar in Pargue and drink absinthe until I fall over. Or I might read George Bastard Elliot.
"we've got Jermaine Defoe, You've nicked our stereo...."

I'm still trying to parse the compound subject "sensitive types (and yanks)" for meaning.
Interpreted rigorously, the syntax would suggest that yanks are not sensitive types, implying that there is some other reason they should stay clear of Prague at the specified time. If this be the case, then what might this reason be?
One might also infer that it's not only fat zebras whose version of English is unintelligible.

Hello Robespierre, hows yer farmers? Giving you gyp it would seem.
The reason that yanks may wish to avoid Prague is that it will be full of Brits on the lash. Your average septic has a bit of an "issue" around people enjoying a few Engleberts (ie they are absolutely mental on the subject), and as such probably wouldn't enjoy themselves.
There's also the possibility that any septic in the vicinity might use the word "soccer" within earshot of an Englishman. I wouldn't want that on my conscience. Hence the public service announcement.
I now return you to our normal programming…..
