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.

30 mins: 0-0 Nothing has happened, other than Stoke having one corner and the return of a few old faces
"He's tall, he's red, his feet stick out the bed, Peter Crouch Peter Crouch" classic chant from the kop back way when #lfcfamily

Glen Johnson giving us that freekick is the most he's ever done for @LFC even when here as a player @TheRedmenTV
— Ryan O' Donnell (@RyanChucklesOD) January 26, 2016
Glen Johnson still the best number 8 Stoke have ever had ??
— shaun (@SNLFC98) January 26, 2016
Dreading the first Stoke corner! #LFC
— Dave Firth (@fuse7777) January 26, 2016
Win a corner. "Everyone connected with Stoke will know what that means" Yeah we've not scored one this year you twatbasket.
— Sam (@SamTheLost) January 26, 2016
Corner to Stoke it's more like a penalty... With Liverpool LFC recent track record #LFC #scfc
— Steve Roberts (@Robs664) January 26, 2016
Liverpool v Stoke #LFC survive a corner! Things are looking up!

45 Mins: 1-0 Stoke, was it onside or offside?
That's so offside it's gas
— Gary Fitzsimons (@GaryFitzsimons_) January 26, 2016
Classic Liverpool. Just before half time. Off side mind. #LFC
— Graeme Kelly (@GraemeKelly1) January 26, 2016
Was offside but they probably deserve to be leading in fairness. We've been shocking. #LFC
— Paudie Fegan (@Paudie_Fegan) January 26, 2016
Arnautovic was at least 10 yards onside. Clearly.
— 中邑 真輔 (@weedandpussy) January 26, 2016
Beautifully worked offside goal brings tie level on aggregate! #Arnautovic. #Liverpool 0-1 #Stoke #CapitalOneCup
— Keyvan Hedvat (@Hedverse) January 26, 2016
But his shirt was onside unlike Ramsey so goal given. ?? https://t.co/Xbzb9Qigj8
— Möiz Saifi (@VanBhatti) January 26, 2016
He's actually a mile onside! pic.twitter.com/duoAmFeMI6

Half-Time: Liverpool trail without having a shot on target, with the Moreno v Walters battle having once clear winner
If Carragher says he is awful then I can only agree #Moreno - If he stays the #Klopp needs his head & glasses examining. #LFC
— Chris.Tobin (@christobinsings) January 26, 2016
Fucking rubbish get Moreno off #shite
— Robert Williams (@RWShuffle) January 26, 2016
Moreno should be a LM not a LB
— We need a new keeper (@RoBBoLFCx) January 26, 2016
Jonathan Walters looks like Tatum Channing after 2 years on a deserted island with nothing but a volleyball to talk to.
— NTX (@NTXabi) January 26, 2016
That Jonathan Walters pre-assist though
— Crest Whitestrips (@shaunnried) January 26, 2016
Jon Walters is a better footballer than Christian Benteke
— Matt (@HighburyMatt) January 26, 2016
58 Mins: 1-0 Stoke, Liverpool bring Benteke on for captain Henderson
Why Henderson why??? Should of been milner imo
— Pri Patel (@PriPatel_CFC) January 26, 2016
Why is Henderson coming off
— anisha (@AnishaParvez) January 26, 2016
Henderson had to go!
— Andy Butler (@AndyButler94) January 26, 2016
Henderson is definitely injured. Only explanation for him being SO shit today
— Tyler (@Klopptimistik) January 26, 2016
70 Mins: Stoke the better side as another former Liverpool player enters the fray
Why can I see Charlie Adam or Peter Crouch getting the winner here... #LFC #YNWA
— Matt Gibbs (@MrMattGibbs) January 26, 2016
Just watch Charlie Adam go score an absolute worldie
— Lewis (@lewisgiersch18) January 26, 2016
Charlie Adam on, for penalties.
— MärKLOPPolëtti (@markpoletti) January 26, 2016

85 mins: Should Liverpool have had a penalty for handball?
Can't give a handball for that. Not a hope.
— Jock (@notbluejock) January 26, 2016
That was a fucking handball
— Peio de la vega (@ReMaK_Jean) January 26, 2016
Never handball to be fair
— Krombopulous Carl (@TheRedViper87) January 26, 2016
so a missed clear offside and now a missed handball on stoke, awesome stuff from the refs
— Jim Hawk (@SweaterSports) January 26, 2016
Attention concerned seismologists: that 5.1 you just recorded was Anfield shouting handball. Do not be alarmed it will happen again shortly

HT in ET: It appears one's opinion of Glenn Whelan hinges on how many 'n's one thinks are in his first name
Glenn Whelan : an unsung Warrior.. Jon Walters : just a Warrior.. Two Irish Warriors #LIVvSCFC
— Joff (@Joff23) January 26, 2016
Glenn whelan is a class player...

Still love watching Glenn Whelan play… Does his job quietly and competently. Nice to see him still doing well eight years after #SWFC.
— Joe Crann (@YesWeCrann) January 26, 2016

20 Minutes into Extra Time: Liverpool owning the ball, but don't exactly look potent up front
Welcome to Liverpool football club - where we score 5 away from home and fail to hit the target at home.

FT In ET: We have penalties at Anfield. Anyone feeling confident?
Don't worry lads you heard it here first, it's going to penalties with Mignolet turning into Neuer and getting us to the final #LFC
— Reyez and 96 others (@ReyezKhan) January 26, 2016
Mingolet. Penalties. What could go wrong? ??
— Ewan (@EwanMcNaughton) January 26, 2016
This is gonna go to penalties this and we're all gonna blame Mignolet when we get beat aren't we
— ️️ (@Leahey1995) January 26, 2016
We're all about to witness why we should have signed Butland instead of Mignolet. #LFCSTO #penalties
— Matt Lees (@mattlees80) January 26, 2016
In Butland we trust. #scfc
— Ian Wilson (@thecoolerking73) January 26, 2016
Liverpool win 6-5 on penalties! Best to click print and buy a frame: Simon Mignolet the Liverpool hero
Big fan of this #LFC steward here during the pens https://t.co/6cO55EhOkY

@SMignolet shows once again that whilst he may be shaky with corners, there isn't many better penalty stoppers out there. On to wembley!

Heartbreak, however, for Stoke
Gutted.... but no matter what the lads did us proud tonight ???????#scfc #stoke
— Mighty Potters (@mightypotters1) January 26, 2016
Amazing effort from the boys to win 1-0 tonight, incredible performance... Penalties are brutal but great save from SM to deny Muniesa #scfc

Devastated. We played brilliantly for 120 minutes but just couldn't get that second goal. Still very proud of #SCFC @stokecity. #lfcvscfc
