RAWK Goes Into Meltdown (2011/2012)

We got Adam for 8M while we could have had Parker for 5M
We got Downing for 20M while we could have had Mata for 22M
We got Carroll for 35M while we could have had Ba for free
We got Henderson for 16M while we could have had Cabaye for 4M

Basically, we spent 79M and we could have been done for 31M and we'd have four way better players and 48M.

With that 48M we could have Hoilett for 5M, Sow for 10M and God knows what more.

I don't know who has been in charge of our transfers but he should have done much, much better.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but still even before all of those players were bought a lot of players knew they weren't the best of signings.

They love locking threads, don't they?

It seems that the RAWK admin's reaction to a loss is to cover their ears and pretend it's not happening.

What the hell do they expect people to say? It's just not their day, we were 2nd to the 50-50s and a bunch of other excuses that don't actually address the problem in the least?

You should be banned for praising that team, not criticizing them.

We hardly ban half a dozen main forum posters a year. Hardly ever lock threads, and still get called Nazi's.
 
Kenny should step down at the end of the season

Locked.

I think there's quite a lot of banning going on too.

But as one of the Mods said in locking the Dictatorship thread - feck OFF

I thought Carroll was sensational, Adam provided plenty of great long passing that nobody was getting on the end of & Henderson was neat and tidy. Downing did well when he came on too.

We're only six points off 4th, just a bad day at the office today but clearly the team make so many chances we just unluckily dont score (how good was their keeper today ffs. again. what is it with these keepers?
 
Free speech is all well and good but then how do you know what you're allowed to say?

Horrible place to be on. They've gone mod overload. I can see how and why the staff on there would be a bit pissed off at some of the comments but now it's gone to the point where nearly anyone who says anything completely negative gets banned and those threads get locked. Doing that is not going to make things better, there needs to be some sort of a balance and, in my opinion they're making things worse and not better.
 
What can you expect from the childish people who filter 'Sir Alex Ferguson' to 'Mr Alex Ferguson', and who oblige posters to have 'Mr Suarez is not a racist!' on their profiles?
 
:lol:

On here when things get bad, like after the City loss for example or a few occasions I remember in the newbies, even when things were at their worst threads weren't really locked and while there were some members who were venting, there were also a few others who said it's not the end of the world and added some balance. That's what you need to do, let the members vent and some others will calm things down. Locking every thread is just going to make things worse.

Also helps that there's a promotion system on here so when things do get very bad, most of the "damage" happens in the newbies and not as much here. Whereas on there it's all concentrated in the one place.
 
Admittedly, I don't claim to be a brilliant football mind but this has been a curious thing to me for the last 5 odd years. Why under Rafa/Hodgson/Kenny do we always get up for the big clubs but we can't smash out the Middlesbroughs and Boltons? You see the Mancs - they always squeak out a 1-0/2-1. It can't be as simple as a Nani, Silva, etc can it?

Even this was locked! Not exactly a gloom and doom, knee jerk OP, is it? Why don't they just shut down the forum for the night?
 
Reopened, for now.

Think before you post. This will give us an ideal opportunity to assess the quality of your contributions to the forum. If you think it's a test, then you're right.

Stay rational to stay on RAWK

Now that is how you moderate. It's an amazement they have active members with the consideration they show to their posters.
 
Discussion thread again. Must be some sort of civil war going in the mod forum. It's all very exciting...:lol:

What's the point of a forum when you can't have a discussion?
 
To a great extent, supporters on a forum police themselves, but RAWK's chiefs prefer to patronise their users.
 
Some gems for you lot...

Even Hodgson won away at Bolton...enough said.
:lol:

Im wondering how far ahead we are ahead of Stoke.
Hanging on to 7th is an issue.

I'm not too worried tbh, we're a work in progress.
:lol::lol:

Kuyt too.
Ngog showed Carroll how to play striker.
I fecking wish we hadnt sold him.For 1.5m,he was worth it.
That's brilliant!

I know we spunked 35mill on carroll so we "have" to play him. but is there not ANYONE in the reserves that can give us another option?

I thought Carroll was sensational, Adam provided plenty of great long passing that nobody was getting on the end of & Henderson was neat and tidy. Downing did well when he came on too.

(yeah, no irony in this post... Carroll was sensational.)

Some bad c*nts on here though. Keep any criticism constructive; sarcastic or other such shite types of posts aimed at Kenny means you are a grade-A twat.
Yeah, you can't say a bad thing about KKK.


Seriously, most of them have already turned on KKK. They've finally realised that his tactics are from the '80s.
 
There's the occasional moment of sanity...

That piece of play from Andy in the second half, from Downing's cutback was sublime. He faked to shoot by taking a massive clod-hopping wallop of the ball with his left foot then deftly flicked it with his right, unfortunately the rest of our team just weren't on his wavelength (few are) and the ball dribbled away back into Bolton possession. In the hands of a lesser player, Messi for example, that moment would've looked amateurish but Andy pulled it off with the grace and assurance that has characterised his time at Anfield.

I can't believe we got him for just £35 million. Frankly, I'm tempted to go up to Newcastle myself and give them my life savings as well, purely out of gratitude. Truly a joy to behold.
 
...and then a chief clanger-dropper manages this:

Again, a feckING warning. For any of you too bloody thick to hit enter before actually engaging your brain i will ban or warn you. Grow up and debate sensibly and you will keep the thread open. Spount shite and it'll get deleted and so may you...
Shome mishtake shurely?
