The reason I never want ‘Pool to win anything is twofold.
Firstly, the club has a righteous sense of self-entitlement that I find nauseating. It started, for me, when ex players like Robbie Fowler came out with crap about ‘Pool “deserving” to be top 4 when it was abundantly clear that the club was in decline. In the years since, we’ve seen less of that kind of arrogant stupidity, although vestiges of it do remain in a large chunk of the fan-base.
Secondly, because the football media is comprised of a disproportionate number of ex Mouser players, we are subjected to delusional crap every time ‘Pool has any semblance of success. Any rational debate is quashed and intolerance and bias rush to the fore.
Why should the rest of us be forced to endure that crap? It sickens me to hear the likes of Jim White (TalkSport presenter) and Mickey Dim ramble on with their ridiculous plaudits, week after week.
As a Spurs fan, I cannot bear to see Arsenal win anything. I admit and accept the fact that I can offer no other reason.
