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

Check out this gem from phaseofplay, their resident bizzarro-rubber chief

We don't do transfers that way. I've had it from a good source that what happens is that a number of targets are proposed, then filtered down to a final five. Once these five players are identified, there is a phone-in poll and texting poll set up, where all the transfer committees families can phone in, as well as the auxiliary staff and selected season ticket holders who get the chance through a draw made earlier in the season. Whichever target gets the most votes, that's who we go for. True story.

Steven Gerrard - The Final Thread

Quiet, reserved tears are an inherently masculine phenomenon. Not dramatically wailing and blubbing, but the brine of life simply trickling out from the windows of the soul.

But why I love him so much, and why people from all clubs, supporters, managers, opposition players like him so much is his personality and his story.

He's experienced public low moments of barely conceivable human sporting agony, befitting classic Greek tragedy.

Can you imagine the weight on this man's shoulders? The sheer burden on this Atlas, lugging around the hopes and dreams of millions of Liverpool supporters worldwide for all this time?

But he's so much more than a man, isn't he? He is an avatar of our potential greatness manifest.

The greatest Englishman of his generation.

Oof, both 'potential' and 'manifest'? Avatar? That's just painful, even for RAWK.

You can see his soul gradually evaporating during last years run in. If you look at his face now, his eyes are blank and only shadows remain where an absolute weapon of a person once lived.

This, along with them classing themselves as the most knowledgeable fans in football, is why people from other clubs despise them.

A weapon is pushing it. More like a tool.
 
I'm appalled that some people don't know the difference between Ganghi and Derrard.
 
Or the bloke from Kool and the Dang.

I just cant understand. So Liverpool manager has subbed off his captain, who has scored a goal in a game in which they had the chance to still be in top 4 battlewith a win, and they're chasing a game, just so he can have an ovation from Chelsea fans........... Mind blowing.

Also he loves the words like - outstanding, fantastic, big effort.

It was a good move by Brentan. If Gerrard had stayed on the pitch any longer, he might have slipped again and Chelsea would of won.
 
Maybe I am being blinded by all these sentimental Liverpudlians but I cannot understand all these platitudes from the Liverpool fans. Gerrard has been around since 2000, and I've enjoyed football immensely since then but I've never considered him anything more than just a very good and effective player who was never particularly good at anything except hitting it narrowly wide from 40 yards and Hollywood passes which were successful about 10% of the time.

I'd have had him in my team, but I'd sooner have had a 36 year old Scholes and Carrick. I feel like I'm missing something here.
