I love how Liverpool fan bios tend to include "socialism" while their timelines are a constant lecture on market forces and survival of the richest. #nufc

I genuinely think that some of them think the Fenway Sports Group is a workers' cooperative.

Ah. The disconnect between real life and football support. I mean I am very nervous about Chinese human rights record and them owning UK assets. Proud #wwfc supporter. Some clubs are even owned by oil rich nation states with appalling human rights records, and not a murmur from fans.

Quite possibly. I just think all football fans are hypocrites on aligning personal political views with who they support. You, Liverpool fans and all of us. The most left wing person i know unashamedly supports Chrlsea.

I think the point is we're acutely aware of the hypocrisy of it all. L'pool fans really aren't and they believe they're some higher point of moral authority.

Ohhhh, so you’d noticed that too…. Strange isn’t it, I also admire their ability to compartmentalise and separate the practice of their own billionaire owners from ours - because theirs are obviously lovely people whose practice is entirely ethical

Cuddly wuddly vampire capitalism vs evil bad vampire capitalism. They're like that tweeny vampire show -- Twighlight is it?

Yeah, literally the main priority of their club is to maintain a hierarchy which is based on past successes. They are the embodiment of conservativism as a club

If this was Man Utd buying, then Rio Ferdinand would put his hand in his pocket and buy Isak. @rioferdy
