Mate - they’re the least self aware group of people I know.
There’s a friend of mine that’s skating perilously close to getting blocked - he’s an intelligent old person that should know better - but he seems to have gone down the rabbit hole after being previously sensible - possible the failure of Brexit & Oz lockdowns have taken it’s toll.
He’s been trying to troll me recently that Klopp’s on the verge of being sacked or quitting and that he’s nothing more than a moaning whinger.
The articles he keeps sending to support this view are the sort of click sit made up stuff that even Ross at his worst wouldn’t post.
Then he starts pulling out the 5 year net spend graphs as proof that City are a frugal club. He’s ignoring the 10 year net spend figures, obviously.
Of course the bus comes out - with something about secret footage he can’t share with me due to “legal reasons” apparently the bus was “bombed” and people nearly died - “look what a disgrace Liverpool fans are” - he’s still ignoring the footage of City fans attacking a bus in the same way.
Then he really goes weird - according to him the toilet graffiti at Anfield after the last match was actually put there by Liverpool fans - there’s absolutely no condemnation of City fans and he starts to trot out the xenophobic Klopp line - don’t think he coped to well with me asking if he even knew what the word meant.
Next up Paris - apparently the French police did the right thing - forged tickets and Liverpool fans being dogs.
He decided the conversation should stop after I told him I missed the days when City fans weren’t hypocritical try-hard cry-babies desperately trying to feel like they’re better than everyone else.
I fully expect to ask him if he’ll be watching the World Cup and get a reply along the lines of “no I morally object to how middle eastern states act” - because I don’t think he’ll be quite self-aware enough to see the problem with that.
Anyway - it kept me entertained while I polished off a bottle of red and skated through Tales of the Jedi.
