Quotes by Alex Day (?)

“I do like football fans, though, contrary to most people of my skinny-train-enthusiast build. I like how merry they all are. They mean things good-naturedly. I find it sweet that they sing such girly songs with such conviction. The West Ham theme, for example, begins: “I’m forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air”, which is the least manly thing you could ever hear anyone sing, and yet they bellow it with all the testosterone they have in them. What’s more, it’s a song completely ill-chosen to be a football anthem, as it’s about hoping you achieve your dreams but never doing so; after the first two lines, the song continues, “they fly so high, nearly reach the sky, then like my dreams they fade and die; fortune’s always hiding, I’ve looked everywhere; I’m forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air”. It’s poetic, humble and very sweet. Bless those lovely little football fans.”

“Southwark can look like a ship all it wants, but it’s a ship without a toilet, and as the famous saying goes, ‘a ship without a toilet cannot sail’.[41]”

“Dagenham is the only place where pregnant woman don’t glow with the healthy maturity of new life, they just squat around the high street as if they’re in the middle stage between eating a child and passing it through.”
