Here's the strange thing they are some of the most knowledgeable fans about the game in general it's all very strange
Are they though?
What do they know about...
... regularly getting dodgy refereeing decisions against them (or ever even getting one bad call at home)?
... being sucked into a relegation battle?
... having the good grace and common decency to not boo as an opposing player is stretchered off (twice now - Yaya and Ederson)?
... keeping their dicks in their pants until their team has actually won the league?
... starting a season, knowing in your heart and soul that your going to be lucky to finish fourth from bottom?
... being ridiculed by sections of the media, regardless of whether you're top of the league or winning cups for cock-ups?
They're far from "the most knowledgeable of fans" (©Sky).
They simply haven't lived it to know it. Theirs has been a cosseted existence that has brought out in them a sense of entitlement that borders on delusional.
Of course, there are some individual exceptions (I know a few, myself) but no more than any other club, in my experience (including ours). This myth that has grown up about their general population being a body of intimate connoisseurs of the beautiful game is utter bollocks - and an insult to every fan of a lower league club, about whose yearly struggle they simply know fuck all.
