Really is no wonder they are the most despised set of supporters in England. I was visiting my wifes grandad last night in hospital and just me and him chatting about football (hes a big PNE fan), cricket etc etc. A bloke in a bed across with a woman and bloke visiting him are leaving and on the way out mention something about football and my wifes grandad mentions i'm a city fan. The blokes face changes and goes all snarley at me (he must have been in his 70's). Starts ranting at me about all our trophies are worthless, 3 billion pounds spent, souless club with no fans. Honestly couldn't make it up. Sat there and said nothing with my heart screaming to respond but sense of where i was telling me say nothing. Neither of us had ever met this bloke before.
He was keeping up his rant, so i just asked who he supported. Liverpool. Then proceeded to tell me what an incredible club they are, a family club, a club with history, a club who doesnt spend money and buy titles. That was the only point i bit, i agreed they don't buy titles as they haven't won won for nearly 30 years so he was correct. I did ask him how much Allsion, Keita, VVD all costlast year, but at that point his wife dragged him out.
It certainly did make for an entertaining 10 minutes, but really, what a prick.
