Not going to think about it.
There is zero doubt Liverpool have moved ahead of us and by a margin.
Yes it has cost them a lot of money but their mentality is better than ours and it both hurts and is worrying.

Should I feel ashamed for laughing at this?
To be fair, it's accounts like these (and Spurs fans across the country) who piss and moan about other people calling us bottlers, bottle-jobs - yet call their own team it, even as a joke.
It's like when they call things "Spursy" even though, again, they get all angry and defensive when other people refer to Spurs as being 'Spursy' if we happen to finish 2nd in a title race we were never in for example.
Beat me to it.
Why on earth add to the abundance of such shite thrown our way?
...Or help keep a term derogatory to ourselves alive?

If you don't want people ridiculing you and your club, then perhaps stop mocking and ridiculing your own club.
Or you could just stop taking things so seriously.
If we call ourselves bottle jobs, all the mongs on social media will just get bored of it. Removes what little weight it has.
All rolls off my back anyway. Rather be called a bottle job than being some nondescript mid table team that does nothing of note.

And what have we done ‘of note’ recently?
Liverpools mentality is on par or even worse than ours.
The reason they are ahead of us is mostly because they've spent £100,000,000+ adding depth to their squad. Mentality though? Nah. They've had bigger games than us over the last few years and pretty much failed to capitalise in all of them.
They've spent near on £700,000,000 since 2012 and have nothing to show for it. Whereas in the mean time every single team in the top 6 bar us has either won the league or win a trophy. Liverpool have been in 3 fnals within that time and lost all of them, losing to the likes of Southampton and Aston Villa in semi finals within that time too.
Compared to us who have spent £427,000,000 in that time period. Got to 1 cup final and only lost to Man Utd or Chelsea in semi finals or finals. Is our mentality poor? Yes. But worse than Liverpools? Do me a favour.
