Ok. I know The Reds aren’t doing too good in the Premiership right now, although they’re at the top of their table in the Champion’s League. That Liverpool can be so excellent at the European level and yet not do quite as well in the domestic league will remain an untouched topic as of now.
But still.
Although I know I’m not one to talk.
I can’t get enough of this excerpt from Simon Hattenstone’s article the day after Tottenham Hotspurs beat Chelsea:
My prejudice knows no bounds. I detest Chelsea. I despise everything about their soul-destroying, peasant-plundering, oil-pimping, wallet-waving, pitch-ruining, ref-abusing, knee-falling, opponent-cussing ways. I despise the fact that they have made me a bigot. I despise the fact that I get more pleasure from seeing Chelsea lose than Manchester City win. I despise the fact that I’d rather Manchester United won the Premiership than Chelsea. I despise the fact that I tick off every week Andriy Shevchenko doesn’t score a goal as another victory for the unmoneyed majority. I despise the fact that I take pleasure in Shaun Wright-Phillips having never scored for Chelsea despite the fact that I once loved him so tenderly. I despise the fact that I take comfort in the belief that Chelsea are getting worse and worse — two seasons ago they lost once in the league, last season twice, and less than a third of the way through the season they have already been beaten twice. I despise the fact that I know the word Schadenfreude means something akin to bitter, vengeful bastard.
(Blogger’s note: I apologise for this use of language, but I felt it was important to keep the original word, although I am fully aware this is a family-oriented blog. Lol.)
So it was a while ago, but I still chuckle when I read it. Maybe its got something to do with knowing exactly how he…and the rest of the respectable footballing world…feels.
You may now resume your more beneficial readings. =)
Enough said here.
