One thing I genuinely cannot stand about football discourse online is people who come looking for a debate but arenโt actually interested in having one.
Theyโll make a claim. You refute it with facts. Suddenly weโre discussing something completely different. You answer that too. Goalposts move again. And again. Until eventually thereโs nowhere left to move them and out comes โyour club is shit,โ personal insults or straight-up abuse.
At that point you werenโt debating. You were just waiting to be right.
I LOVE football banter. Talk your shit. Rivalries are supposed to be petty and ridiculous sometimes ๐ but if YOU initiate a serious discussion, have enough intellectual honesty to stay on the fucking subject.
Being proven wrong about something isnโt embarrassing. Changing the argument six times because you canโt admit you were wrong, then resorting to insults when youโve got nothing intelligent left to say? Thatโs embarrassing.
Some of you donโt want a debate. You want an audience and an opponent who doesnโt fact-check you. ๐ญ and one thing about me, I know what the fuck Iโm talking about when it comes to EPL otherwise I wouldnโt open my mouth to begin with ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
