Gimpier than Alex and Feeky
No fecking way Steve. They had to have been sarcastic.
If you have told me that we should have signed Fernando Llorente from La Liga, instead of Andy Carroll, as the perfect striking partner for the Copa America MVP, I might have agreed. However, as the perfect striking partner for the Copa America MVP, Carroll is a much better fit than Aguero, and his price tag could easily be justified.
Look at him all grinning and happy now.
Like an abusive husband whos team has just one. Ice cream and cuddles for everyone tonight
He'll be back on the whiskey tomorrow so dont relax too much
Just keep thinking "they won't do it again next year", when they lost the Cantona side, the Roy Keane team, Van Nistelrooy went, Ronaldo left them...yet here we are, April in a football season and they're top of the table.

feck me - stick a fiver on United. Moan when they actually win and you can collect.

I hate football.
They all seem to be obsessed with saying (or agreeing) that Young's no better than Downing, it's just the team mentality, and if they were switched, he'd be good in our team and Young shit in theirs.
I'm not quite sure how to take this, cos on one side it's quite a compliment and a slight on themselves (and partly true mentality wise) but on another it's complete bollocks, and I'm not sure why they're saying it. To avoid admitting it was a bad buy? Because Young turned them down?
Whatever the reason, it's still complete bollocks. Young has always been better than Downing. At everything. At Villa. For England. Always.
Great line, that.
if you think about it, you have to feel sorry for the scousers, many were allured by the history of glory, cups, championships, recognition, etc.
suddenly, fergie comes to Manchester and everything Liverpool had, disappeared
it must be like being part of the "arrested development" family
I'm hoping it will happen to Suarez. There are already signs that Enrique's turning.
I'm sorry but I think Downing has always been utter shite and over hyped.
Things must be bad at Liverpool & RAWK - they've even forgotten how to spell the word 'won'.
RAWKer said:Our players are slow as shit thats why. Couldn't catch up with the counter. You would just see Adam and Jay treading water.
Might sound a bit racist but we need more blacks! Better athletes.
its like a leaf on a plant when a caterpillar overtakes it, it takes 1 bite but the owner of the plant makes nothing of it, then the second bite is taken and then the third and then the fourth... How long before the whole plant dies?
The Plant is liverpools history, 1 bite signifies 1 cup for us and the caterpillar is fergie who is slowly killing Liverpool football club.
RAWK's finest - Andy Allerton
"How this team can be top of the so-called best league in the world is a mystery. As people have said - just shows how laughable it is at the moment.
Dropping behind the other leagues by the minute."
If that's the case where does that leave Liverpool?
"The fact that we haven't won the League for 20 years is like having shards of glass pushed into your eyes, and to see those twats winning it all the time is like having acid poured in after it."
I wonder if they realise that Leeds have won the league more recently than liverpool.
Young and Downing are both not quite it as far as the top level goes. Young is playing for a successful side and gets to do cameos, Downing is playing for a midtable side under a lot of pressure.
Whilst I agree Young isn't quite "top level" he's far better than downing, and it has little to do with what team they're in. He was at Villa, he is for England, has always been. As of Feb last year, Young had an assist rate of 0.45, making him 8th in the all time PL assist rate table
At Villa.
2009/10
Young: Assists - 16 Goals - 9
Downing: Assists - 6 Goals - 3
2010/11
Young: Assists - 14 Goals - 9
Downing: Assists - 7 Goals - 8
For England
Young: Caps - 19 Goals - 5
Downing: Caps: - 33 Goals - 0
Black and white.
Young's also won the PFA Young Player of the Year & been in the PL Team of The Year twice. And is younger. And was less expensive.
Downing's won the Alan Hardaker Trophy, and I'd even debate that was deserved.
He would've been a good player for Arsenal in fact. He's better at football than Walcott.
Both obsessive, just in different ways.
We'll easily make 30-60 pages on a weekend match day watching their game, referring to the refs, the "poor decisions and luck" they get. We'll call their players and manager names, so on so on.
They'll easily make 5-10 pages on the weekend match day, copy/pasting and laughing at us complaining about the refs, the "poor decisions and their luck". They'll call our players and manager names, so on, so on.
We'll then make 3-5 pages on the weekend match day, saying their copy/pasting and laughing at us is obsessive and their name calling small time.
Rinse and repeat.
The main difference is they pour their scorn into 1 big all encompassing RAWK thread and we'll have ours spread over successive weekend match day threads [or this, if no match day threads were available as was the case tonight, this thread].

Like, this.
From a thread titled 'Man City sign Aguero':
What's with them harping on about FA cup? They're so sure they can beat Chelsea/Spurs in the Final?
Do you post on RAWK as well?
Caroll - 3 league goals
Henderson - 1 league goal
Downing 0 goals
Adam - Adam 2 goals
Words can't describe how poor that tally is.
I wonder if they realise that Leeds have won the league more recently than liverpool.
