RAWK Goes into Meltdown 2014/2015 - The "We go again" Edition

Really Annoyingly Weird Korsakoffs.
"
There are six major symptoms of Korsakoff's syndrome:

  1. anterograde amnesia, inability to form new memories
  2. retrograde amnesia, severe loss of memories formed before the onset of the condition
  3. confabulation, that is, invented memories which are then taken as true due to gaps in memory sometimes associated with blackouts
  4. minimal content in conversation
  5. lack of insight
  6. apathy - the patients lose interest in things quickly and generally appear indifferent to change."
 
Rubbish and Weird Knowledge, Mr KCrackers.

Been trying to figure this out for some time now and I know I'm gonna be ridiculed for asking but; what does RAWK even stand for? Where does it come from?

There's an old song, barely heard outside the pub, to the tune of Yellow Submarine. "We all live in a Red and White Kop."

Blimey, I know all about misheard lyrics but that's ridiculous... ;)
 
A question to anyone who reads this thread...would you personally accept mediocrity for 3 or maybe 4 seasons, if, then that core of players all matured at the same time and went on to dominate the league, europe, and history for, let's say, 5 years (3 titles in those 3 years)? And, maybe longer if the kids keep transitioning in at the right rate?

I reckon I would

What's with all the Ronaldo posts? RAWK shite please.

Praise for Borini?

Code: 
He has the same amount of league goals as Balotelli, in less than half the minutes

Balotelli - LFC league games/goals: 14 / 1
So just less than 1 goal in 7 games isn't too bad.
 
There Sterling thread is genius; they all think they'd get £40+ million for him, some saying considerably more, but none of them think he is worth more than £100k p/w. It's brilliant.

Oh, and apparently Gotze & Pogba aren't world class.
 
I assume that's a peek into the alternate universe they barely come out of. mind bending to normal folk

He should be grateful just to play for them for free, in front of the most knowledgeable fans in the World (TM).

Was just having a look through last seasons RAWK goes into meltdown thread and saw this

The sun has just flipped it's solar field, an astronomical event that occurs approximately every eleven years. The point at which north becomes south, and south becomes north is often difficult to ascertain. Sometimes, eleven years after a previous reversal, the North gets back on top before South has found it's way back home. Basically, for this to happen the magnetic field weakens to zero, reverses, and then re-emerge with opposite polarity. This kind of solar reversal is a big deal; the magnetic field of the sun is immense, and ripples will have an effect beyond the limits of our solar system, into the endless wastes of interstellar space. Nobody really knows why it happens, when it happens, or the processes that take place to make it happen. Sometimes it take a while, sometimes it just happens; one minute everything is fine. The next minute, David Moyes is in charge.

Rest of the craziness is in the spoilers
The recent Aurora Borealis was a result of the switch in stellar polarity; solar flares on the solar winds bringing about a change in the atmosphere. It was visible across much of the north of the British Isles, with the phenomenon having an impact as far south as Manchester. As far south as Old Trafford. And there you will find that a different kind of magnetic field has also flipped it's polarity. It's shifted from the east, and it has headed back down the East Lancs Road, finding it's natural balance in the west. In Anfield. A change of atmosphere. It's a magnetic field that attracts success. Silver. Talent. Excitement. Of course, the flip has to have a corresponding magnetic effect at the other end of the spectrum - long periods of inactivity, occasional disruption and just the odd solar flare to keep things lively. It's a reversal that can be demonstrated by a number of phenomena.

For instance, Old Trafford now harbours the black hole of David Moyes' management techniques - a gravity defying well of ineptitude that can draw the light from the very brightest stars in the footballing firmament. Robin, we're looking at you. Or we were. Of course in the previous eleven years, Anfield had it's own wormhole in space, the Hodge. A man who took us back in time to an almost pre-Big Bang level of technique and footballing vision, a man who always looked down the wrong end of a telescope, and a man who's only legitimate claim to a title would be that of 'Space Oddity'. As the polarity reversal begins to have an effect, expect to see Old Trafford suffer from large tracts of interstellar space appearing in the Stretford End, the cataclysmic effects of the bottom falling out of their previously heliospheric income, and their Masters of the Universe (The Glazer Family) suddenly discovering that they've got an exploding supernova where their solar flares used to be. I like flares. We used to wear flares at Anfield in the 1970's. And now we let them off on away days.

This is an away day to relish. Our team has been stellar, sprinkled with stardust, whilst their team has been Stella'd, spiked with sleeping tablets. We're the top scorers in the League, fans thrilled by a brand of attacking football designed to win football matches by taking the other team to pieces. In contrast, United fans are the top snorers - bored out of their tiny minds by the mediocre tactics of a manager who has sucked the optimism and ability from a team who won the league last season. It's a shift of such magnitude that many United fans face the prospect of playing us when the game means nothing to them - no challenge to mount, no glory to gain - for the first time in their lives. With one or two exceptions, it's the sort of game we've endured over the last coupe of decades - we find ourselves hoping to burst the balloons on an early championship party, and hoping that a win against them will mean it's 'Anyone Except That Shower' who would win the League instead. Now it's our time to challenge, and the reversal in polarity is such that many of our fans find themselves caught on a dilemma; can we really trust ourselves to believe that we can win the league?

You need to be a proper miserable git not to find the Palace commentary very funny.

Same joke is getting a bit overdone perhaps, now.

Is that fair?

And I just read some of that thread, and there's one user acting as if he knows every single Liverpool fan who goes to away games personally, saying that the fans in that picture have never been to another away game before. It's laughable that he seems to think he's some kind of match-goers encyclopedia, but it's unbelievable that people pulling him up on it are being criticised. Other users are saying that this one poster should be banned for "mis quoting" him. It's pathetic.

Ah now come on dhm91, you're misquoting him by putting up that picture of what he said.

The mental thing is the lad saying 'people get offended about anything'-the anything being racism- when the lad he's backing up is *getting offended* at being quoted words he actually said.

I know I'm making the mistake of using, you know, logic, but still...

It all made sense until you applied logic to the situation. Now I'm confused.
