You can't accuse them of not wearing their heart on their sleeve. Some cracking gems though.
Why do they all say 'Mr Ferguson'? Never had them down as a polite bunch.
Auto correct on RAWK...they refuse to call him SIR
Why have they got such a problem with calling him sir though, loads of other footballing men have knighthoods. Fergie's been at the very top level being successful for 25 years, of course he's going to have a knighthood. It's not really a big deal.
You understood the unique relationship between the manager and the fans.
Amidst this whirlpool, amongst so many people, reaching Anfield is to reach one of the possible ends of the road. I say this because I feel fortunate to have been one of the chosen ones. One of those who have stepped on the pitch at Anfield, one who has lived Anfield, one who has experienced in person that football has a dimension greater than the banality that current times offer us. One that has been able to see that Albert Camus was right in saying that stadiums are a melting pot of culture and that in them, like in no other place, we can learn about human nature. Just looking round Anfield you can appreciate the dignity of its people
Just a small selection of comments from RAWK after we scored the 3rd. Enjoy
Never!I suspect that Rafa is kinda hoping that Dalglish will fail.
I love the way whilst they were watching us, they mistook us singing "Are you Arsenal in disguise?" for "Are you watching Merseyside?", and we're the obsessed ones.
It doesn't even make sense, who gives a feck what Merseyside are watching?
Rafa's site is a goldmine!
No wonder he's a RAWK God -- his own staff can manage to rival the worst purple prose RAWK has to offer.
Just listen to Xavi Valero, goalkeeping coach, Rafa Benitez staff:
Champions League at Anfield | Rafa Benitez Official Website
with the pace that lad got out of there, makes it easier for them to make up some facts.I see they're still maintaing that Robbie Keane doesn't count as a Benitez buy
Yes!Methinks you doth protest too much, Sir/Lady Waltraute! Are you Rafa in disguise?
Yes!
After successfully trolling the Scousers I'm just relaxing and enjoying life, apart from sometimes pretending to be a goalkeeping coach waffling about Camus and being a chosen one. And being Waltraute on the Caf, of course.
What can I say, I just love trolling!
-- Love, Rafa
fecking hell, Rafa Benitez actually has his own website?!
WHY?!
well for one he doesn't have a job for now, needs to keep himself busy

Shankly and Paisley both deserved to be honoured. Fagan was brilliant too.I actually think that Paisley should ave been honoured in some way but by the time he retired, Thatcher was in power and there was no way she would knight a scouser. say what you like about Liverpool, but Paisley is up there with the greats.
Mr. is an incorrect form of address for someone with a Knighthood, it should be Sir Alex or Sir Alexander. They are aping Benitez's facts rant, not sure if he was using to be disrespectful or if he's just unaware of the naming customs here.

Dalglish's certaily up there.
I do agree that it's ridiculous they (and especially Paisley - his European Cup record!) didn't get the honours they deserved, but it's still petty side-eyeing Sir Alex's honours. Meeesterrr Ferguson, how droll.
Of course it's not Ah! Injustice! the same way I can agree with the Scousers about Paisley and Shankly. I still think it's reasonable though (and now I'm mostly thinking about his playing carreer for club & country), and have you seen the people being given honours lately?Paisley and Shankly sure.
Dalglish???
give it a break.

Agreed. I wasn't taking into account Dalglish's playing career, which was exceptional. Dunno about Shankly though. A great manager for sure but it was Paisley who lifted three European Cups.
All this Mr. Ferguson stuff is puerile. I know quite a few scousers and I haven't heard one of them say that Fergie didn't deserve his knighthood. They may not care for him too much, but they won't deny that he's one of the greatest manager Britain has ever produced.
Rumour has it that he has bankrupted several farms in Farmville and tried to blame Mark Zuckerberg.
To be honest if you look at the end of their matchday thread there's several pages about how good we are to watch, how it might be SAF's best team, and how we're going to walk the league.
It's more magnanimous than this place would be in their position.

Come on now Plech, do you really believe that? About half the posts from them whilst they're watching our games are about how it's obviously fixed.To be honest if you look at the end of their matchday thread there's several pages about how good we are to watch, how it might be SAF's best team, and how we're going to walk the league.

He knew exactly what he was doing; by emphasising 'MR' in that infamous and fateful interview. Its a public show of disrespect and the Dippers loved it.
