It's in the bag!
 
They probably couldn't resist a munich chant knowing they could backpeddle out of it by citing the CL final
 
I'm struggling there mate, I wouldn't know how to get it.

Just been on twitter, searched a few keywords, and all these are from the last hour

ArsenalView ‏ @ArsenalFCView
I will never ever ever accept LFC fans getting the moral high ground on anything after hearing them chant Munich again loudly tonight

Gareth Parker ‏ @GarethDParker
I'm aware the Munich chant had two meanings. So were they.

Daniel Finch ‏ @DanielJFinch
Can't say I'm surprised that the munich chant was taken out of context #anyexcuse

Joel Foreman ‏ @JForeman95
So Liverpool fans feel justified booing the National Anthem over Hillsborough on Saturday and then chant about Munich on Tuesday #lol

Etc etc

It wasn't just me who heard it, and that third one sounds like a Scouse fan.

I dunno tbh. Seems like picking a fight where there probably isn't one. They were chanting other stuff like "Bayern Munich, they'll win it five times" etc. It just looked like banter between the two sets of fans to me.

They could have easily stuck to chants like that which can't be taken any other way. They knew what they were doing, and they'll have a little giggle about it.

To be fair, I thought this at the time as well. At the end of the day, even if they did mean it - we'd never be able to prove it. Let's not be paranoid like those bunch of racist accepting knobheads.

Let's get back to laughing at their delusion tonight - they'll be brought back to earth with a bump after they've played Swansea on Sunday I feel :drool:
 
Bit like our fans chanting "Always the victim, it's never your fault", particularly on April 15th.

Wasn't doubting what you heard dude, just wanted to hear it myself. If you're right then feck them. Not the end of the world just a little pathetic.

Were Chelsea not just playing their 2nd team tonight? I got in late and missed it.

They fielded a first 11 that has never played together before, yes.

Torres, Essien, Terry and Ivanovic featured and they were all terrible.
 
i appreciate the question. I've been on the site for many years - it's one of my daily four, that is, the four sites i check regularly throughout the day. Two of the four are my email accounts, which means that rawk is one of two non-email sites i deem essential. But i feel that's becoming an increasingly symbolic gesture rather than a meaningful one.

I've been on here throughout the arguments over houllier, benitez, and g&h, and there were many good discussions in those days. Maybe the forum users are becoming younger, maybe a difficult season makes us tetchier, but i feel the good discussions are thinning out. Increasingly, the site is governed by something akin to godwin's law. I've felt it was coming, but for me the hysterical elastic limit was reached when we drew everton in the semis this year and a poster remarked that it was like the good old days again, 'merseyside!' he exclaimed. He was pulled to bits immediately. Why? It made absolutely no sense whatsoever. I loved the eighties, when football was ruled by the city of liverpool. I joined my friends when everton did the cup homecoming and they joined me when the liverpool bus went past stanley park with brucie hodling the european cup. That was something we used to do. We were a united city. But the discussion turned into an online version of lord of the flies and went completely unchecked. Why? What is the editorial decision process that allows a mob to silence a perfectly reasonable comment?

David foster wallace argued that the internet needs more gatekeepers, and i feel that's lacking at rawk. We can get page after page of 'is right' or smiley faces or posts that actually carry no comment at all but simply repeat somebody else's, or any of that empty bullshit that helps push up a forum users comment count, but a comment that expresses a divergent value is wiped out. There is nothing gentlemanly about it, it feels like walking past a gang of hoodies outside threshers. It's neanderthal, aggressive, and endlessly predictable.

Conversely, i feel that topics that people obviously have big opinions about are too frequently dismissed out of hand. It's good that transfer topics are closed outside of the transfer window, but there are bigger things that should be open to discussion this year rather than endless pages of team formations. It should be possible to discuss whether kenny is up to the job. it should be possible to say 'actually, i think what suarez said was racist and he should never have said it' - which, for the record, i do believe. it should be possible to accommodate a little bit of hand-wringing, because that's the nature of being a football fan and certainly the nature of supporting liverpool and it should be possible to discern which comments are worthy of reflection. But too often the rawk editorial process is a blythe one, where maybe it could be more, well, editorial. Cutting out rather than closing off. There should be more room for comment and opinion and less room for the empty-vesseling that too often happens here.

RAWK suicide.
 
Ban anyone that writes less than 5 words and hits reply.
Ban anyone that quotes half a page from someone else and says "this"...in fact a double banning because they've also contravened the first rule.
Ban anyone that says "whopper", particularly if that's also the only thing they've said (as above).
Ban anyone that goes into a hissy fit just because someone disagrees with them. If it's a mod in said hissy fit, self-bannings should be expected.
Ban anyone that says anything cliched.
Ban anyone that joins in berating someone whose saying something controversial - if well reasoned - just because they can then pretend they know something about football.
Ban anyone that sucks up to the mods.
Ban anyone that sucks up to non-mods.

This place needs a good banning binge.
Fill yer boots.

Stockholm Syndrome or what?

Yeah, Torres must really regretting he left... the 8th placed club for the 6th placed, FA Cup winning, Champions League finalists.

They sure showed him.

6th > 8th

FA Cup > League Cup

Champions League Final > nothing

More money playing for a better side > Liverpool

Stewart Downing still trails Tim Howard in both the goals and assists categories.

And we were shit this season

Imagine if it was the 80's. The servers would crash once a week

The problem with RAWK is that they are not only deluded, and at times racist, but that they are almost trained to have illogical thought processes.

Obviously the RAWK meltdown thread having 2 million views reflects how exceptionally awful and comical their season was. Back in the 80s there wouldn't be melting down to report. Rushyman is like a less interesting but equally retarded A@A.
 
do people really think the suarez thing was that bad? surprised at the people saying he needs to watch it

look at it, he's trying to get round ivanovic has his arm in the air and then ivanovic moves off to block his run and goes into it
