Some berk rang the Merseyside post match phone in earlier and said that he'd heard that the only reason Sanchez signed for Arsenal was that they offered him more money. "These American owners wont pay out.....zzzz...." The usual RS ploy of, if you say something often enough, it gets transformed from being an elaborate urban myth to instantly being accepted as truth and fact. Their self deception knows no boundaries and will be shown with its kecks down when this season falls apart, deja vu style, like last year's....especially if they get turned over by Blackburn thus denying their soon to be ex-talisman his final ego trip at Wembley on his birthday.
They genuinely can't stand those increasingly frequent moments when they're delusion is shattered by reality. They're still a huge club in their own minds, and they have to perform mental gymnastics to avoid facing the harsh truth that they are a selling club and big players want nothing to do with them.
