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

The depression is deep in RAWK-land.. :lol:
That's such a bullshit statement to make. Sure, it doesn't look too good right now, especially money-wise compared to the likes of United and co, but you can't possibly predict how it's going to be in fifty years. No United fan in their right mind would've thought they had 20 league titles by now thirthy years ago.

:lol:
It sounds like he assumed they were going to start dominating again rather than winning a one-off title:lol:

That's a bullshit comparison. It's all about power and money nowadays. It's a lot easier to stay on the moving train than to hop back on board. I'm not sorry, but I think you might have a bigger chance of getting relegated than winning the PL.

The difference between us and you is we where there when it counted and you just count when you were there.
 
Do they believe they can get 4th?
I certainly don't. If United win one of their last three games, we need a 9/9, which just isn't going to happen if you look at our remaining fixtures. It's very frustraring because we could've gotten it after a pretty average season if we didn't feck it up against West Brom and fecking Hull in the last two weeks. But I think you can say the same about United numerous times this season so oh well.

Yup, we were in a nice situation but with 3 defeats its like we're offering that 4th to you and you dont want it. Its as if we're competing who's worse. :)

And we could be sitting in second had we won our last two games. If's and buts mate. ;) You kopites, you make it sound like only your feck ups matter. "we hit the post 30 times this season, so by that we would have won the league if they went in"

Did you read my last sentence mate? I'm fully aware that we shouldn't even be in a position to challenge for a top four spot anymore.

We really are trying to "out-shit" each other, we're both dreadful :lol:
 
My friend tells me Liverpool will have the last laugh in this top 4 chase. Let's all laugh at RAWK while we can.
 
We'll pip them to it on the final day by 1 point. We're Arsenal, they're Spurs.
 
Tomkins goes bonkers ~

Listen Up, F*ckwits:

^ Use proper 'feck' to get to the article.

Chirst, it's the longest pile of shite I've ever seen. I think Tomkins and POP are the same person.
 
I endured it until it became apparent that there would be no discussion of money wasted and disruption caused by 'churning'. * Hence no criticism of Liverpool on what is one of the most sound bases.

* So his model makes no allowance for using say 6 different £15m players over 3 years instead of just spending on one. Because all that counts is that just one of them was in the starting 11 at the time. The wasted £75m is ignored.
 
If anyone can't be arsed to read 20k words I'll summarize: net spend, lol

If you are going to write a 20K word essay, then you should include a conclusion or summary at the end. Then you can decide whether you want to read the rest or not.

btw:

This is a free article from The Tomkins Times - "the most intelligent guide to LFC around" (Independent on Sunday)
;)
 
He's not wrong about his basic premise though. If you add transfer spend + wages you can basically predict any league table to a high degree of accuracy. It's one of the reasons football leagues are pretty naff compared to sports with distributed incomes/salary caps.

If you ranked all 20 clubs by total spend, the odds of the bottom 15 winning the league is 0. Ie, 75% of the teams in a 'league' aren't even competing for the damn thing.
 
It is. They read it out on SSN before I went to look for it.

I had no idea that Jamie Carragher was delusional. I don't know what to make of him now.

Imagine if Giggsy had posted something similar at the end of last season.. lol, mental!
 
how DID that end up anyway?

According to my postman's neighbour's Scouse friend they were in the middle of the game against Chelsea when Gerrard received the ball near the half way line. Gerrard miscalculated the pace of the ball and wasn't able to control it properly, but fortunately a giant eagle came out of nowhere and picked him up in it's talons, guiding him to safety. As he was flown over the ball Gerrard used his incredible technical ability (second best in the world only behind Philippe Coutinho, according to many experts) and commanding nature (second best in the world only behind Jordan Henderson, according to many experts) to grip the ball with his knees - leaving Demba Ba only able to watch in amazement - as he flicked the ball up and headed it past Courtois (second best in the world behind Simon Mignolet, according to many experts) into the top left corner of the goal from 50 yards out. Liverpool then went on to win their remaining games 10-0 to lift the Premier League trophy.

The Queen (second best monarch in the world only behind King Kenny, according to many experts), who is also a massive Liverpool supporter, knighted all of the players and crowned Gerrard King of the World (making him the best monarch in the world (King Kenny now a close second, with the Queen moved down to third place) according to many experts)).

Liverpool's success continued for a million years as they won every trophy in the world every season, before becoming the Guardians of the Galaxy who watched over the universe and protected it from evil. They fought countless wars against numerous invaders and made sure that everyone was safe. Then they blew up the big Death Star thing and lived happily ever after on the planet with the teddy bears. Special thanks to The Thick of It.

It's like Tompkins meets the Deluded Commentator
 
You don't really need a terribly complex analysis to know that 14-15 teams aren't going to win the Premier League any time soon.

All the tedious analysis does is give a way to talk up Liverpool Football Club's comedy fail of last season as a success. Which it was, obv. They were so so nearly & agonizingly triumphantly close in that unique but understated way of theirs.
