Thing is mate, he knows full well when I say that they didn't win it as champions that it means that they were not the current champions of England when entering and winning that European Cup. Yet he says what he says with a smug look on his face and with absolute conviction.
I just laughed and said OK. I couldn't do much more as in his head they did their treble as champions and that's that.
My workplace is probably 80% rags. I hear a lot of shite about how better their achievements are in comparison to ours on a regular basis but this reply about them seeing themselves as champions of England when winning the treble left me stunned.
I have to add that although it left me stunned, it also left me under no illusion just what mongs I'm dealing with day to day.
Back to smiling and nodding from now on, safe in the haven of City pissing all over them.
