I always blow bubbles

"Football has nothing to do with life but is above life. "——Bill Shankly

talked about Hooligans football hooligans, in people's impressions they are sleazy, rascals, gangsters, drinking and fighting are all evil. The movie "Hooligans" tells people about the unknown side of Hooligans.

Pete, the main member of GSE, looks like he is fucking and full of violent tendencies, but what he shows is a sense of absolute confidence, absolute persistence and absolute trust, which brings people around him from the bottom of my heart. You can feel the power. In my opinion, he has a precious thing that many seemingly civilized people do not have, that is, the persistence and maintenance of his beliefs, so that beliefs are about football and brothers. On the subway, he stood up so naturally and gave his seat to a middle-aged woman; in the football class, in front of the group of innocent football teenagers, he felt so pure, and the group Like a child, like an excellent physical education teacher and passion for football; in the battle, when his brother is attacked, he will not hesitate to shout: "We don't leave our mates behind!" and then first Each rushed up and did a big fight, for the brothers and for the honor that belonged to them. . .

"We had a laugh, we had a few pints, cheered on the mighty Hammers. We was completely outnumbered, but we stuck by our mates, and we stood our ground. No matter what happened. That's what it's all about."
" We are very happy, we have some wine to applaud our team. We have many brothers, but they all support us, we stand together, no matter what happens. This is all we have. "
This is what they are all about. Maybe their behavior is bloody and violent, but the starting point is simple and clear.

"But we're a far cry from all that Bloods-and-Crips bullshit, ...that's just cowardly...We might be into fighting and all that, but it's really about reputation."
"We are not in the rumors Just talk about fighting, that’s a shame... We will go back to fight, but it’s really about reputation."
This is their interpretation of their violent behavior. It sounds a bit high-sounding, but it’s just because their behavior is too radical to make people. Can not accept. Don't call them rascals anymore, because they are fighting for honor.

People who don’t understand football always don’t understand it. If you like it, you can. Why do you have to use life as an interpretation? I believe that everyone has something they insist on in their heart, or something you like, or a kind of thought you think is correct. However, how much are you willing to give for what you truly believe in? When external things begin to affect your persistence, where is your bottom line? For Pete, what he paid was the price of life.

Those who have never cared about or even watched a game, but curse Chinese football all day, can shut up. Do you really understand the meaning of football? Do you know that the 22 people on the football field are fighting for just a boring ball? If you don’t like it, just shut up, and don’t tarnish the sacred term of football with frivolous and disdainful words.

Those who only come out to celebrate when the team wins the championship can shut up. Do you know that our current glorious champion team also fought for relegation? Do you know the pain and bitterness we have experienced when we haven't won the laurel in 16 years? Have you ever used "Always Strive for No. 1" as a form of conversation to tease our diehard team? Have you ever known that today's giants have tasted the bitter fruits of relegation, have suffered much in the lower leagues, and have been ridiculed by fans from other places. But what is it that supports their continuous development until they achieve the highest honor that people admire today? It's their fans! Not you, but the diehard fans who follow the team regardless of the team's situation!

"West Ham Football IS mediocre, But Our Firm of Notch and Every One Knows IS IT. At The GSE, Great Street Elite."
"Our West Ham mediocre, but our fans organization well known .GSE, Green Street elite. "
This is a declaration of pride from fans who are loyal to their team. They can be proud and proud of the rhythmic shouting: "East London! It's Wonderful!" This is their hometown team, they are proud of the team, they are proud of the birthplace of their hometown.

Football hooligans are not like many people imagine, or described in newspapers and magazines as bad and vulgar, this is just the result, and you don't understand the reason. They may be crazy and violent, but you can hardly find someone cuter than them. They live real, live selves, live with dignity, and know why they live and why they fight. Defending to the death is not as superficial as violence, it is more bloody and powerful. It is perseverance, loyalty, pride... it is bloody rather than violent. Life is short, and people who can stick to their beliefs are happy.

Pete eventually fell, in order to protect innocent women and children. For their brothers and their families, they did not hesitate to shed blood and even sacrifice their lives. Even if he still had some strength, he would stand up again and continue fighting with his brothers. The moment Pete lay down forever, like a knuckle in his throat...the ear was still the West Ham United team song: I'm forever blowing bubbles...

I'm forever blowing bubbles,
bubbles in at the aIR pretty, T
hey SO Fly high, in a Nearly the REACH at the Sky,
the then like my Dreams Die ... they Fade and

United! United! United!

I never blew bubbles
of air beautiful bubble
them up to the sky
on Like the fading demise of my dream...

I will always sing this simple yet passionate song to commemorate those soldiers who fell forever for their beliefs. Until the next spring, the moment I stepped into the 24th Workers' Stadium again.

Green Street Hooligans quotes

  • Pete Dunham: [Matt and Pete are sitting at a food vendor stall, reading a newspaper the morning after the Birmingham game/fight] Fuckin' journos. Look at this.

    [he slaps the paper]

    Pete Dunham: West Ham wins 3-nil in a blindin' performance, and our little scrap makes the headline. Bloody muckrakers.

    Matt Buckner: So, what is this?

    Pete Dunham: Bollocks journo bullshit.

    Matt Buckner: No, no, this, the GSE.

    Pete Dunham: [whispering] Shhh! Lower it, son!

    Matt Buckner: What are you guys, like, an organized political movement or something?

    Pete Dunham: No, mate. We're a firm. You never heard of a firm in the States?

    Matt Buckner: No.

    Pete Dunham: All right. Every football team in Europe's got a firm. Some have two.

    [Matt gives him a blank look]

    Pete Dunham: Christ, I forgot how clueless you Yanks are. All you've seen of us is the stadium riots on TV, innit? Come on.

    [they get up and walk away from the stall]

    Pete Dunham: See, West Ham football is mediocre. But our firm is top-notch, and everyone knows it. The GSE: Green Street Elite. Arsenal... great football, shit firm... the Gooners. Tottenham... shit football, and a shit firm... the Yids, they're called. I actually put their main lad through a phone box window the other day.

    Matt Buckner: [Matt looks down at the newspaper] What about Millwall?

    Pete Dunham: Ah, Millwall. Where to even fucking begin with Millwall. Millwall and West Ham firms hate each other, more than any other firms by far.

    Matt Buckner: Sorta like the Yankees and the Red Sox.

    Pete Dunham: More like the Israelis and the Palestinians.

    [Matt laughs]

    Pete Dunham: We haven't played Millwall in ten years. Their top boy's this geezer named Tommy Hatcher. 'Orrible ol' cunt. Back in the Major's day, Tommy's son was killed in a scrap. After that, he went completely mental. Lost the plot.

    Matt Buckner: Well, who's the Major?

    Pete Dunham: Ah, the Major. Quite a legend 'round here. He ran the GSE in the Nineties, when I was comin' up. Hardest bastard you ever saw. They say we kinda lost our way when he left. But believe me, my boys are bringin' the ol' GSE reputation right back.

  • Matt Buckner: So basically, firms are gangs?

    Pete Dunham: Kind of... but we're a far cry from all that Bloods and Crips bullshit. I mean shootin' a machine gun out of a movin' car at an 8 year old girl, that's just cowardly. See, we might be into fightin' an all that... but it's more about reputation. Humiliatin' another mob in a row, doin' somethin' the other firms get to hear and talk about - like a Yank in his first fight battering one of Birmingham's main lads.
