I thought he would wind it in after having a go at women going to football in the last few games of the season, home and away, but obviously not.
I imagine there is a novelty to John for some away supporters. They probably take him to be a form of surrealist, anachronistic performance art.
But the rest of us have watched his clown and bell act deteriorate over the last, I would say, 20 years to the point where yes, I agree, he is now a character of himself, and what was once a peculiar and eccentric Jeckyll and Hyde combination is now IMO just a deeply disturbing Hyde.
That said, there's the facts and then there's taking it too far. Several posts in this thread cross the line IMO. Fans not sticking to the facts just fuels him and his acolytes and the myth that he is a targeted man who we are out to get.
