I think it’s the general lack of self awareness that grinds.
Or rather, that the self awareness isn’t based on facts, just perpetuated fiction:
Victimised - too many examples to list
Money creating the ability to create their istree - littlewoods
Dodgy sponsors - standard chartered, a shining light of impropriety.
Winning trophies before May
Looking at other forums or even the BBC’s HYS, it’s also the level of fiction about us/them:
Emptihad vs ‘under the Anfield lights on a european night’ with 16000 watching the year after they won it.
Qatar/Saudi owned - that’s always a ‘WTF, theres clearly no basis to believe anything else you say/type’
Let alone the usual litany of oil, drugs, cheating, bought the league (pot meet kettle)
