also the catalans fans are the best in the league for me. they always seem happy and wave their flags and sing. i was sat close to a lot of them at the cup semi last year and as gutted as i was in defeat i couldn't help but feel happy for them, and none of their joy was expressed in a negative way towards us wigan fans, which you might get between english fans - flicking the v's and what not. credit to the competition, deserve to have a good team and a great coach.
'offensive' chants are a part of the sport and as long as they are meant as more of a tongue-in-cheeek sporting rivally thing as most saints-wigan and yorkshire-lancashire ones are these days rather than aggressive or agravating then it is ok - frog bastards maybe doesn't fit into this quite but it was a minority thing and as other east standers have said, we didn't hear it.
