You have to consider what makes someone become a Liverpool fan - a few are actual Scousers, and to be fair I've been mates with a few who were proper sound lads, but after that you get the gloryhunters. Only there isn't much glory to be had these days, which must be incredibly frustrating when that's all you're interested in.
So you either give it up as a bad job and start supporting Man City or fall back on the past - famous European nights, YNWA, won it 5 times and all that shite - that way you can keep your sense of supposed superiority long after it's ceased to be relevant to anyone else.
In short, twats.
