Glad our season is done. We were absolute shite all season long, and today's game perfectly encapsulated it. We had no midfield. We had two strikers who can score but were stuck on the wings. A LB who isn't a LB. A RB who isn't a RB. No balance at all. Midfield is still shit without Amy 3 years on

Even among fascists, this is an extreme clothing brand, because it’s not deniable. And people now feel comfortable wearing it in the middle of Berlin, in a way they didn’t 10 years ago. I can’t describe how serious this is. It’s basically saying “I’d wear a swastika in the street if that was legal“.
