I really have to vent spleen on a 'same old subject'.

Came into work today to talk to one Brighton fan who pretty much agreed with me that their game was rubbish against a pretty awful looking Newcastle team and they also admitted they thought it was a dive that led to the sending off (I thought it was although admit that I may be biased on this one too so not so much stating this aspect of it as 'fact').

However, one very outspoken colleague came in and the conversation went something like this:

Him: "Did you see the game on Saturday?"
Me: "West Ham vs Man United? Wasn't it exciting?"
Him: "Nooooo, Brighton"
Me: "Oh god yeah, wasn't it dull?"
Him: "WHAT?! Best game of football I have ever seen?"
Me: "Are you sure you don't mean West Ham vs Man United? The Brighton game was like watching paint dry, my local non-league team would've beaten Newcastle"
Him: "No way, we played them off the park. We contained them and we dominated, it was like European football"
Me: "I don't agree, but you have to admit that was a dive that got Ameobi sent off"
Him: "Well, he definitely fell over"
Me: "Yeah, but I can fall over without anyone touching me, look, let me show you"

The conversation sort of ended there. I needed to post this somewhere because I am angry at how utterly deluded their plastic supporters are (he was a Leeds fan until the Amex was built). He was also crowing that the Amex wasn't even full (weird boast) so he should easily be able to get tickets for the Arsenal game. By the way, he also supports Arsenal as well as Leeds and Brighton so it's all good for him. Unless Swansea knock them out then "The Arsenal Game" would be a bad title to give that one.
