many of you youngsters dont know the history of why qpt fans hate fulham so much so i thought i would run through the historical background of the loft first you must go back to the film called roar it was all about the world cup and featured ritual chanting for the first time,in 66-67 skinheadism had reached fever pitch but there was no real iconic place to go SO THE MIGHTY SHED END WAS FORMED BOASTING AN INCREDIBLE 5000 SKINS,PEOPLE LIKE ME WERE BOTH CHELSEA AND QPR FANS I WENT TO BOTH TEAMS BUT WHERE AS CHELSEA WERE A PASSION QPR WAS MY RELIGION,SO THERE COULD BE NO DOUBT WHERE I WAS REALLY GOING TO END UP STRANGLEY THERE WERE many MILLWALL IN THAT SHED END.SO IT WAS MADE UP OF 2000 SKINS WHO SUPPORTED KNOWBODY 2000 CHELSEA SKINS AND ONE THOUSAND MADE FROM QPR,MILLWALL TOTTENHAM ,ARSENAL WEST HAM OF WHICH THE BIGGEST CONTRIBUTERS WERE BERMONDSEY FROTHERHYTHE,AND DEPFORD MILLWALL FANS THERE WERE SEVERAL HUNDRED MILLWALL IN THE OIRIGUIONAL SHED ENDbut us infiltrates were just caught up in an amazing buzz

Look, I might be doing him a disservice, but I’m sure I didn’t dream this up. Other Phil Collins stories that I think are factual, but might not be: he told his wife he was divorcing her by fax and used to drive a black cab round town, but not pick anyone up. I have repeated all three of these stories over the past 25 years+ whenever the opportunity has arisen. And not just in the UK.
Are you confusing Phil Collins with Stephen Fry? - someone told me he used to use a black cab to get around town? - of course, he wouldn't have had a wife to divorce by fax, so you may well have that bit spot on. I only hope, for his sake, that he didn't use Paladini's fax machine - it is entirely possible that he is still married if that was the case.
In any event, it sounds as though Phil treated London football clubs like his women - jumping into bed with whichever he fancied at the time, especially if there were free tickets involved.
As an aside, the topless barmaid thing isn't central to the plot, but I always associate them with those gritty Sweeny-type programmes from the 70's. Plus it's an opportunity to stare at a pair of knockers.
"Thank you for supporting Queens Park Rangers Steep Staircase"... and I thought I'd signed up for a rollercoaster.

I sometimes confuse him with Bob Hoskins (who I like), but never Stephen Fry to the best of my knowledge. But yeah, he had/has a cab too. Crazy. Does Bob Hoskins drive a cab?
I think there was definitely a “Bristols” thing going on back then — with breasts that were very definitely of that time - but I think topless barmaids could prove problematic with our potential backers; either the BBC Drama dept or the National Lottery, Arts Council, GLA and LBoHF. With that in mind, I think we have to look to low-cut blouses and occasional close-ups of spillages being vigorously mopped-up. Nothing too blue, but plenty for the dirty Mac brigade.

Mike Keen testimonial scenes could use some of this
Around 16 to 21 minutes is filmed at Loftus Road. Could cut and paste or whatever you do and delete John Thaw and replace him with a load of Scum skins surely? John Thaw would have been useful in this production.

We could get Noddy Holder to play dual roles. QPR /Chelsea fan.
Fulham fan.
I think you have something here - as the word evolution is in the thread, we could actually film the whole piece as a kind of tribute to 2001: A Space Odyssey. We could witness football fans evolving from primates to middle aged men in red trousers and Barbour jackets.
The opening scene: a bunch of Neolithic apes drag their knuckles and scratch their heads in bewilderment around a strange blue obelisk with the words' Britannia Gate'. Next scene - we fast forward a few thousand years and see the same obelisk in front of a modern Stamford Bridge , surrounded by a bunch of Neolithic.... you can guess the rest.

I gave it up (so to speak).
well juzie once more you are going to give me more abuse because the hatred between brentford and qpr was a completely differant issue first of all back in 1960 brentford fans would hurl a lot of abuse at us because we had about 2000 irish these guys were as hard as granit and one fight our irish had with millwall was to make us the joint hardest team in london 2000 men who had worked the building sites since they were 14 years of age try to imagine how the dockers of bermondsey could intimidate that lot and because our ground was a joke compared to there beautifull 40 000 stadium,they would say that we had a crap ground and a load of stinking irish as fans we felt so hurt by these comments that there was terrible friction between the clubs yes the buy out was the final straw but the hatred was about long before,and of course the worst riot in our history was the tommy higgins testimonial at griffin park i was there that day and qpr fans kicked all the back of there stand out which upset them and chased about 50 of them out of there home end so the brentford thing will never end,the four west london clubs all hate each other
Blimey. I thought these testimonial matches were generally good natured affairs. Next time we have one it sounds as though we'll need a full UN peace keeping force in situ.
On the plus side, looks like we could have a sequel... or is it a prequel?

A prequel, I'm thinking.
2,000 Irish hoolies? Who knew?
And every single man-jack of them had worked the building sites since they were 14?
The good news here is that costumes would be cheap. I'm Irish. I have 2,000 donkey jackets and 2,00 pairs of steel toecaps in my own wardrobe.

And if that don't work, the 2,000 of us can telegram the Mother.
