He’s also from the same country as a certain Simon Mignolet…

One of the best things about Redcafe is that it’s a fantastic view into the manc brain. They recognize how shite they are, yet simultaneously think they’ve got a good squad and a great manager and are just a couple of tweaks away from being a top-4 club again.
They take the defeats and shitty draws as you’d expect - with doom and gloom and calling for change and lamenting writing off yet another season, but over the course of an international break, they begin to talk themselves back around into believing that they’ll get a great result against City and will be back in the top-4 race.
It’s absolutely fascinating, it’s like they have no concepts of recent events and how they relate to current/future events. They’re convinced that they have a top defense and one of the best forward lines in the league, and that this new GK kid is going to be one of the best 'keepers in the leage before he’s put on a glove for them.
I think this is what makes it so funny for me. We had boom/bust cycles that would begin each summer, fizzle out by November (usually), but we wouldn’t spend the rest of the season believing that we were just about to turn the corner and get back in the title race. These deadshits have boom-bust cycles that are measures in weeks.

I guess it’s one of those nightmares where you’re stuck in an endless loop of dreaming of waking up.
It’s like the scene from the John Carpenter classic, In the Mouth of Madness, where Sam Neill drives endlessly and no matter what route he tries to take he ends up back in his neighborhood that he’s trying to escape

Did I ever tell you that was one of my favourite films of all time? Like, top five, top ten, top whatever. I didn’t think anything would make me love it (and Sam Neill) more but you’ve outdone yourself again with that analogy.

I’ve never watched it but really want to. I’m surprised I’ve never seen it available on Prime or Netflix to stream for free.
Goldbridge sitting down to watch the first game of the season thinking to himself “cannot wait. This new goalie from Inter is supposed to be great. He’s going to be a big upgrade on De Gea…

Feels like a good time to point out that Sam Neill is a fucking legend.

Agreed. Anyone who can create a dodgy black hole is kinda special.
Although, the Glazers and Ratcliffe may also fit that category. 
Perhaps a rethink on qualifying criteria is needed.
The delusion continues. I do wonder how much Amorim paid to have this one published:

It’s click bait. Engagement farming at the best to reel in people to read that article
