Directly opposite my hotel is a back alley that is the stereotype for tv shows where the cops find another body murdered. ha ha Theres a bar called the ringside down it, it has the oldest liquor licence in columbus and is half the size of bananas and makes bananas look like buckingham palace, they were shooting a video with 2 rappers dancing in this alley so you can imagine it looks the part. Fuck it i thought, youve been in some dive bars in your time but nothing that looks as bad as this so i had to give it a go, fuck me it was rough. Anyway i got talking to this guy who was one of the main boys of the hudson street hooligans who told me about how they had a tear up with west hams firm a few seasons ago, I dont know how i kept a straight face because west hams firm wouldnt start a punch up infront of cops with guns 4000 miles away from home, they would organise a meet out of sight and then beat the fuck out of you, but hey he was adament they were the real deal cockney boys and the hudson street hooligans aint nothing to be messed with, i finished my beer and wished the fruitcake adieu, what a frickin looney.ha ha West hams boys up against the HSH, FOOKEN HELL thats like throwing me in the ring with merryweather.

HAHAHA!! What fuckin tossers!! That is probably their only claim to fame because if they did have a proper mob their numbers wouldnt be so shitty in past seasons. And this is the "incident" he was talking about. Far from anything you've seen in your glory days, Eric!!

I hear them saying "this is our house" which should be 'this is stupped', anyways good story Eric.

If those are ICF, I am louis armstrong, more likely to be a couple of english expats from the east end, now with green cards or american citizenships, the ICF dont wear soccer shirts no casuals do, they will probably own them and the only time they will wear them is when they go in their coffin. I am more fuckin ICF than those guys, honestly what a nutter that guy was actually thinking those were west hams firm, its laughable.

The joke is on him, what was next out his guy's mouth besides fantasy madness?!?

when you live in columbus your brain just works like his. If it worked like ours they'd move.

That little shoving match with West Ham is their claim to fame. They don't shut up about it. I don't think they realize all they've done is increased their chances of getting killed in London for wearing a Columbus shirt dramatically. Idiots. Maybe they should set something up and really mix it up...

when your walking up to the stadium it looks a joke like a giant lego set, but when your inside it actually looks a lot better, they had more fans participating in the supporters groups than RSL, the crews problem isnt the size of their sg.s it the casual walkup guy in the rest of the stadium they are short of, regarding away trips theres only chicago which is a worse venue to visit imo so i wouldnt recommend columbus for us to rouse a mob up to go to, theres a lot better venues than columbus.

I had never herd of Columbus till MLS came along.

Hahahaha. They named themselves Hudson street HOOLIGANS...once you hear the name you can safely walk away knowing they're as sharp as a door knob, no conversation necessary.
