Fear for Collingwood dont worry about Monty
This guy's going to get torn to threads from crowd taunts in the unfortunate triple wammy of playing the Aussie rules dominated locations of Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne in succesion.
Why ?
Because of his unfortunate last name "Collingwood"
A better last name may have been "kick me" or "pick on me"
Maybe Australia will never let any player with the last name of "Liverpool" go on an ashes tour of England.

A guy I work with supports Collingwood. It'd be great to wind him up a little about them. Why are Collingwood so disliked??

Yeah I've heard AFL players come back from derby's between those two and say that Aussie rules does'nt know the meaning of competition... Is it true that you guy's wont use tomato sauce cause it's red?

I suppose you "Spurs" fans carefully steer around the beloved "parson's peak" parts of Bar-B-Q chickens as well.
