I didn't think I could be surprised by any of the lame excuses coming out of the club, but I underestimated them. It's not the money, it's not the injuries, it's not the tapping-up, it's not the fixture list, it's not the International breaks, it's not the pitch, the ref, the weather. Forget all that. Today's apparently unified front from the club and it's evangelists has been kind enough to inform us it's the fans' fault.
Breathtaking. Who could have guessed that an owner adding hundreds of millions to his net worth, a manager who has taken some £100million out of the club, and a team all on insane money have failed because of a bunch of blokes on docker's wages who don't cheer loud enough as they are being shit on. Selfish bastards have cost us another title. No wonder we have such a terrible record in the CL.
