No idea. I agree that he surpassed himself last night. If anything, I would have thought he might have a soft spot for us given the Liverpool team he played in regularly thrashed us in the 80's.
I think this is it tbh.
City fans of a certain vintage will remember Liverpool teams coming to Maine Road from the late seventies to the late eighties and regularly knocking between three and five goals in, often without reply. I think the big pitch enabled them to demonstrate their superior technique and fitness.
For that, and other obvious reasons, he would have viewed our club as a bit of a joke - I imagine they used to banter in the Liverpool dressing room about what a shit club we were.
He is clearly having great difficulty reconciling that perception he had of us as a club with the reality of what confronts him today.
His thinly veiled contempt for us is a disgrace, and while I am one of the last on here to see an agenda, there is no doubt that this man has an irrational hatred for our club. Would he ever deliver in that sneering tone the same shite he spewed last night about us being lucky - if united had won like that against Chelsea? Not a fucking chance - he would have eulogised about how winning games like that was the hallmark of champions.
There are lots of reasons to want to win the title - but ramming it down that ****'s throat is rapidly moving up my list. I want his "capitulation" comment to haunt him as much as his equally absurd comment about "kids".
He is another reason why a part of me wants Liverpool to fail more than any other club.
Well, nearly.
