These football fans arguing what ‘top half’ means is a great example of the awfulness of arguing with stupid people
Here’s a welcome diversion from people arguing about politics, it’s people – specifically, football fans – arguing over exactly what constitutes the ‘top half’ of the table. A 20-team table.
And while you might think it is surely an open and shut case, this is one lid that resolutely refuses to stay closed.
It went viral after it was shared by @matttomic over on Twitter and it’s quite the read.

Love the names they call each other.
