Metadon Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Hello. I recently checked BJA Instagram and he is following Arsenal and also their player Bukayo Saka. Is he a fan? For how long? Does anybody know? I am also massive Arsenal fan so I love this :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I haven't heard that he is but he's in London right now and his son moved to England so he's probably getting into English football as a result. Unless he already happened to be into it, possible as he's a sports fan in general Also this reminded me that when FBHT played in London (Islington) and Billie held the mic out to the crowd between songs one guy did an "Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal" chant lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThranaM Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 He just recently posted a IG story with a signed Milwall shirt with Saviors om the back. He has also made posts about them before, so that’s a good clue. Literally couldn’t have picked a worse team 💀 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saviour Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 He seems to attend football games when he’s in London, but it seems like he chooses grounds around the capital at random. I’d seen he was at The Den (Millwall’s stadium) whilst recording at RAK. He doesn’t seem to be aware of the club’s long reputation of a proud and loud minority of violent right-wing thugs and hooligans in their fanbase. Horrible football club with the worst “support” in the country. Leave that shit in the 70s where it belongs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I thought this came up before and I don’t follow football at all but I thought Millwall had done a lot of work around their fan behaviour and reputation or are they still thugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suffoKate Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 He likes a few Serie A teams, as well, being Italian and all. I wonder if he ever saw green street hooligans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stories and songs Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I seem to remember him saying in one of the many Saviors interviews (can’t remember which one, but I think it was one of the Grey Cup interviews?) that he likes a handful of teams. He doesn’t seem to have a specific allegiance, he appears to just enjoy the game. And team scarves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the Inter uniforms and AC Milan scarves thrown by spectators in Milan, he only threw back the Milan scarf and kept the Inter uniform by his side. I heard that he also watches the CL, so it is possible that he became an Intellista after watching the Milan derby last year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and he told Chris Moyles he likes soccer so he just goes along to what’s on when he can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(though it is the daily star so take it with a pinch of salt) Without straying too much into football chat, there's a hardcore minority of their fanbase who are proud of their reputation and some (as in the example above) that actively try to maintain it. I've heard first hand their away fans singing their "no one likes us and we don't care" chant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanz25 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 He also was wearing a scarf for German 2nd division side, St Paulie in a recent interview. That team have a huge left-wing following that are mostly Catholic leaning. Good chance he watched Green Street and decided to follow Millwall. American golfer Billy Horshel did the exact same thing.

Hermione Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Yeah it's pretty clear that if he's been following Millwall it's not because of their fans' reputation. He's just an American who got into football over here and is watching random teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saviour Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Basically he's a plastic. 😆 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
