The Blinkered Fan's View of Liverpool v Stoke City

Telling the truth, we are told, is a revolutionary act.

As we are all fans of somebody, truth in sport is really found among the hilarilously overblown and biased tweets of the most blinkered of fans.

For tonight's cup semi-final between Liverpool and Stoke City, we are bringing you that truth of delusion, bias and sheer rage among supporters.

If you want a taster of what to expect, imagine the Liverpool fan who claimed that, upon close review of the video evidence, that Branislav Ivanovic cannily thrust his arm into Luis Suarez' open mouth in a bid to get him sent off.

Or the Stoke fan who claimed that, upon close review of the video evidence, that Aaron Ramsey's leg was already broken before Ryan Shawcross collided with it.

Those are the types of views you can expect, so stay tuned throughout the game.
