Has the cloverleaf monster attacked us?

I've never seen anything like city centre manchester this morning. The streets are piled high with cans and bottles. there's broken glass and rubbish everywhere. The city stinks of booze. I've seen people in blue t shirts sleeping in cars, bushes, on benches, on the floor, in doorways.

Call me a genius, but if we sent a few hundred thousand drunk rangers fans to Iraq instead of the army all those years ago, they'd have flattened the country by now and be back home on sauchihall street getting drunk.
