We all do it to different levels, nowhere more than on this thread. We see 20 quotes all lifted from an opposition fans site (skilfully cherry-picking the funny / crazy ones) we then take one of those outrageous quotes and fly off the handle that all fans are saying this.
Most of my mates are Liverpool / Utd / Arsenal fans (danger of being a child of the 80's) so the default 'banter' is "warra trophy" but once you get past that predictable opening they all grudgingly admit that they like Ange and what we're doing this year.
