Disgusting! It only takes a handful of football fans to bring the beautiful game’s reputation down and that’s exactly what some Manchester United and Everton fans have done right before their crucial FA Cup semi-final today. Supporters from both teams got embroiled in a mass brawl on route to London.
A witness told The Mirror how the incident unfolded. “I saw all the chanting and made my way over for a bit of what I thought to be light-hearted banter. Before I realized what was going on it had escalated rather quickly and punches were being thrown. An Everton fan stepped in to try and break up the melee only to be set upon by three United fans who quickly punched him to the ground before stamping on him. Another Everton fan shouted ‘Stop there’s kids here’ and that was greeted with one United fan shouting ‘F*** off you Scouse c***’ before hurling a glass bottle in his direction narrowly missing him and the child. Someone shouted ‘Police’ and everyone involved seemed to disperse rather quickly and blend into the crowd.”
