Ah, yes. Brilliant.
And original to boot...
And how are your lot doing this year, mate?

Shit.
Hardly unexpected though, given that I don't have delusions of grandeur of my cxounty team or an over-estimation of our own self-worth. You should try it.

No need mate. I thought we'd do what we always do... Look impressive until we play a good team. That's a f#$!ing enormous superiority-complex I have there, huh?
Of course, being a Dub, and proud of it, automatically categorises me as such, doesn't it? Amazing how that's ok for country lads but not for us Dubs... I cannot stand twats who accuse us of such sh!te, simply to have another pop at all things Dublin.
You, like so many others, simply assume that everyone in Dublin thinks we're brilliant and should win it every year, despite the total and complete lack of any of us saying anything remotely along those lines here, EVER. We certainly hoped for better than we saw this year, but I can remember NO predictions of dominating, September glory.
It's hard to have delusions of granduer when you're expecting ANOTHER big game let down, isn't it? But don't let that stop you saying that we all think we just have to show up to win it. You WANT to think that way, so it must be so...
Oh, and pardon me if I giggle a little at you lecturing somebody else on over-estimating one's own self-worth.

Apologies mate, I was only poking fun.
Seriously though, there's a reason why the rest of the country absolutely loves seeing you boys get beat. I appreciate your viewpoint, but the overblown estimations the vast majority of your supporters have every.single.year. are embarassing, hence the humour everyone else derives from seeing you wimp out again at the quarter final stage every single year.
