Its quite funny. You lot quoting RAWK all the time to make it seem like Liverpool fans are like that. The majority of intelligent fans (yes all clubs barring probably Millwall have a majority of intelligent fans) knew what Brendan had to do this season.

The rest wanted the League, CL, CL Spot, World Club Championship, FA Cup and Charity Shield without caring if we were even entered in some of them. I'm arguing with a few dickheads on a non-RAWK LFC forum now as it happens.

Several Rawk dippers questioning Brenton... How dare they!

Why Shelvey?! What a hard loss to take especially considering how they scored their goal. Proud of the team but that doesn't really count for much does it? Bad subs imo, we were all over them and after the subs we lost a lot in our attack.

Game changed with the double substitution. We were pressing them into submission with Hendo and Allen key to it and then, just, let up? Baffling. Questionable. Disappointing

And for me it's hardly the sign of a manager likely to progress to a top club....Norwich is probably his level. Shame he got too big for his boots and jumped ship for Villa where he's not likely to achieve anything.

Over achieving is a pretty good sign for me. Nothing wrong with his ambition either but he made a poor choice in going to Villa.
 
Villa was a good choice for Lambert, he'll sort them out and progress. Liverpool was a poor choice for Rodgers, he's over-reached and will fail horribly.

Personally I believe we can compete with everyone until the very end - certainly Arsenal, Spurs, and Manchester Utd...

Realistically though, that only matters when we play those teams... I firmly believe we are better than nearly everyone other team in the league, and should be able to get the goods against most of them.

Lot of hard work to be done at Villa. A relegation might actually be beneficial in the long run.
 
Yeah O'Neill spent a load of money unwisely and they're still suffering. I think Lambert will keep them up (just) and push on next season.
 
He gambled on Europe and left them with unsustainable bills when he didn't get it. Fail.
 
Who did O'neill spend unwisely on ? Actually his signings earned them a good profit which wasn't fully given back to him to invest.

The Era after him was worse.
 
He spent £20M in 07/8 on Knight, Reo-Coker, Harewood and Routledge. Then £50M the next year on Heskey, Milner, Cuellar, Shorey et al.

Yeah, he bought players who were sold for 26 million, 20 million and 16/17 million for much cheaper. What a failure.

Those 3 transfers covered majority of his expenditure of these 3 were a main part of.

It was not his fault that they spunked 18 rising to 24 million on Darren Bent after he had left and then 10 million on N'zogbia along with paying OTT for the likes of Hutton, Makoun, etc...


Even Lambert has spent 25/26 million buying lots of players and only so far Benteke has performed to any good level. The rest he bought mediocre players or young ones who don't look anything special either.

16 million on those players in 07/08. Out of which Reo Cooker and Harewood were probably overpaid signings in hindsight but gave them 2 pretty good years.

While Zat Knight was sold for a profit of 1 million and Routledge went almost for the same price. So net expenditure of about 11.25 million for 2 good seasons from atleast 3 of these players.

He spent 48 million in the next season yes. But then those players have recouped 29.75 and 2 are still in their team/squad.

Also, other than that these so called 2 transfer windows his spending was pretty good and he kept them competing for mid table spots atleast, if not higher. It was after that which they blew the money gotten from Milner, Young, Downing.
 
Sometimes l think RAWK is the the ramblings of a sole poster, probably Gerrard.

The transfer fees weren't the main problem (although spending £60m on Warnock, Collins, Dunne, Davies, Sidwell, Shorey, L.Young, Cuellar, Heskey and Reo-Coker can't be described as prudent); it was the unbelievable wages that were thrown at that mediocrity. From 2006 to 2010 he quadrupled their wage bill from around £20m to around £80m all to take them from around 10th to 6th. His investment was absolutely horrific for the club and he has comfortably set them back a decade.

The likes of Reo-Coker, Cuellar, Collins, Warnock, Heskey and Dunne were all supposed to be on £4-60k a week. Even the likes of Young who were good for them should have been on nowhere near £80k. The fact that all of the aforementioned (bar a nominal fee for Collins) couldn't be shifted and only left when their contracts expired tells you all you need to know.

They went from a healthy club with a 60% W/T ratio to a club bleeding money with a 90% W/T ratio. The owner was at fault for allowing this to happen, but MON was at fault for quadrupling their wage bill whilst making them only slightly better.

Paul Lambert is spending money the correct way for a team like Villa. Buying younger players on much, much lower wages, with a large resale value if they perform, whilst also giving their young players a chance.

Genuine :wenger: Wtf is he on ?
Con man fooling the dumb Liverpool supporters because the sane ones can see through that bullshit.Who the feck does he think he is ? Some football *********** ?
 
Those quotes would not be out of place in a Rodgers-themed parody sketch.

He must surely know how ridiculous he sounds. I'd imagine some of the younger Liverpool players - Kelly, Flanagan, Robinson et al; those who supposedly don't see eye-to-eye with him - find some of this bullshit hilarious.

If he's written the names down already, what the feck can they do to prevent their names being in the envelopes?

Is he suggesting they should spend their time trying to invent a time machine?

It would explain the defending recently, Skirtel had his head in some blueprints as the ball sailed past him I guess.

I can imagine Ricky Gervais saying all those things. It's quite incredible.


Quote no.3 is my fave. Seriously what arsehole says his biggest mentor is himself. :lol:
 
He sounds like someone who already won Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup, at least couple of times.

He can start a Youtube channel with his philosophy.
 
I know it's widely discussed but this one still makes me feel as though I'm stupid for not getting it

How can you make sure you're not one of the names if he's already written them down?

What form of mysticism is this?

Someone, explain it and cure my headaches.

He's looking for a scapegoat if his season won't end well which is happening, now. He actually thinks that kind of psychology will get him far and players will suddenly start playing like Barcelona.

The feckin David Copperfield of modern football trying to create illusion of authority.

I bet he filled the envelopes with "Football Association", "Referee" and "Sir Alex Ferguson".
 
Liverpool were phenomenal yesterday, according to him.

He must have watched a different game than the one I watched.
