Talking to a Pool fan/friend this afternoon and by god it’s built into them...delusion!!
Not for one second was he trying to wind me up, in-fact I’d says Spurs are his 2nd team if there is such a thing, he has a soft spot for us, hell I have even taken him to the Lane once or twice in the past.....
So we were talking about the final and he says they have the “better team”, ok I said, how is that a absolute fact? As we didn’t really have our best team available since November? certainly you might be the form team but I draw the line at that.
Then he says they “deserve it more” this season as they lost the league by a point and we just scraped 4th, ok I said, but two totally different fucking competitions.
But this is the one that got me really going, “it’s important we win it for the sake of football, you know what I mean, to show City and all them other big spenders, our season has to count for something, Salah, Virgil, Mane deserve it, you guys just getting to the final and getting 4th is a good season for a club like yours.....A club like ours? WTF? Who are we, some smash and grab mid table team? No we are a club who have out performed every other club in the league bar City since Pochettino took over, a club who have finished above you’s for 8 out of the past 10 seasons, show some fucking respect you deluded 1980’s throwback!!
I’m not ashamed to admit it, they officially outrank Woolwich in my book!!
