They’re completely fucking deluded.
To…a…man!
I had one at work last year saying this shit when Allison scored that header that won the game at West Brom, “That sort of thing only happens at clubs like Liverpool and United**. There’s something special about clubs like ours where the magic just happens”!
I said “Christ mate, you’re not one of those Liverpool fans are you? That sort of thing happens at loads of clubs, look at Jimmy Glass at Carlisle”… he didn’t know what I meant, he’d never heard of Jimmy Glass and probably thought ‘Carlisle have a football team? I just thought it was full of Liverpool fans!’
(** and what is it with this Liverpool and United reach-around love-in between the two clubs all the time these days? They talk about each other as one entity at times when comparing themselves to City. Anyone would think that rivalry they pretend to have with each other was fucking made up out of thin air!)
