RAWK Goes Into Meltdown (2012/2013)

[Sally Cinnamon]

Because they're the most specialist football club there is. Even though they've turned into a fecking laughing stock.

Have you noticed it before?

It shouldn't, but it really grinds my gears.

 

[kietotheworld]

Why does every single Liverpool supporter refer to themselves as "Liverpool Football Club"? Every one of them does it. It's never plainly "Liverpool", the "Football Club" (or FC) is always added on afterwards. Even when they're talking about the club/team, it's always "X brings so much to this football club", "winning is all that matters at this football club" etc.

I find it just plain bizarre.

It probably arises from locals using the full title to differentiate the club from the city itself. In most cities with clubs named after their city there's an additional name - United, City, Rovers, Villa etc. - and the clubs are normally referred to as that. Liverpool don't really have that so they make do, and FC sounds pretty shit.

Aye, it's fecking weird.

By the end of this season, Liverpool will be where United was in 1992....24 years and counting. Are Liverpool just a year from winning a league title?

United were at 25 years and counting in 1992; Liverpool will be at 23.

 

[Big Papi]

United were at 25 years and counting in 1992; Liverpool will be at 23.

Aye. Brainfarts.

Liverpool will be where United were in 1990.

RAWK auto corrects words so Im guessing it does that to Liverpool, it does it with loads of words. This worst is AVB is corrected to Luís André de Pina Cabral e Villas-Boas

Why?

 

[Buchan]

Because they are quasi-intellectual bastards who just love being awkward.

It doesn't. Those who write Liverpool Football Club have done it themselves. The AVB one is stupid. They've got one for 'bellers' which gets replaced by Craig Douglas Bellamy (it used to be something else).

Piers Morgan -> Piers Moron is another.

 

[Buchan]

They must have auto-correct for every description of their players too because no sane person would think that they have the best players in the league in every fecking position on the field.

That one isn't bad.

They nicked that from Private Eye.

Mixed Metaphors & RIP Rafa Revisited:

We were at a crossroads in the summer. we twisted (twust?) and picked a guy. That gamble is yet to play out. The cards are still on the table, the roullette wheel is still spinning. So we need to wait and see how this works out before gambling again.

If we sack everyone who fails to completely impress in one season then we ourselves are the 'clueless' ones. and we will basically become like those lab rodents, transfixed by and tapping our feet on a pressure pad to release a nut, hoping for instant gratification, never once looking around and seeing we are trapped in a cage.

We currently have a bunch of kids in the back asking 'are we there yet?' and we've barely got off the drive, the Mrs is in the navigator seat saying we need to turn left and you know really we should be going right - whilst the neighbours overtaking us in a brand new jag and we've just had our hub caps pinched.

In every great epic adventure, and supporting LFC is an epic, there is always someone who has to bravely sacrifice themselves selflessly before the bittersweet victory is won. For us it was Rafa. Remember him fondly but move on.

He was a great but flawed manager and man who, in order to save us, died for our sins.

That last quote is priceless. Must be a wind-up by some United fan.

All turn to Kopites 26, 1-40

 

[Shane88]

Twust .

 

[Ronnie O'Sullivan]

Plechazunga really needs to post Kopites 27

Love it...so poetic, I bet the author is such a caring and gentle soul <sarcasm>

 

[Buchan]

Twust .

I didn't know if that was a Scouser's attempt at the past tense of twist, or Roy Hodgson speaking about the firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing.

[Fiskey]

I am still only 21.

 

[Swaters16]

I am still only 21.

I'm even younger, I'll get back to being Zidane when I'm 26. Right now I'm working on being Roger Federer.

 

[Drainy]

I am 26. Safe to say I have failed to be the next Zidane

 

[Ludens the Red]

I'm 25! It's On!

 

[gerrydaly]

I'm 52. Twice the player Zidane ever was.

 

[SteveJ]

Can't knock that LFC wisdom. They're both bald too, so the similarities are mounting up.

I have no words. Epic, indeed, whether trolls or not.

And yes, nahealai, it's always (imagine Ian McKellen here) Liverpool Football Club.

 

[rufus diabolus]

I'm 27, does that mean I'll never be as good as Zidane?

 

[rufus diabolus]

Bloody scousers.

 

[cesc's_mullet]

I'm 26, so there's still time for me to become the next LaBron James. Get in!

 

[rufus diabolus]

There is, you'd better be quick though.

 

[Badunk]

some of Kenny's signings were starting to come good as they got used to his style, Carroll in particular.

6 goals in 44 appearances. £35m

 

[Anderson's Cat]

United were at 25 years and counting in 1992; Liverpool will be at 23.

My Liverpool supporting brother rubbed that in my nose every day prior to 1993. I told him I'd get him back one day. That day is nigh, "and I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."

 

[rufus diabolus]

Is your brother still alive? Hopefully it will be in this life, Huzzah.

 

[Jippy]

He was a great but flawed manager and man who, in order to save us, died for our sins.

He really has been promoted to messianic status. At least a few are recognising that he blew it in 2009.
