Will L.A Galaxy be known as 'la' Galaxy from now on?
RAWK Goes into Meltdown 2014/2015 - The "We go again" Edition

It's no problem though. The fans will stick with him through thick and thin.
True. Although he's toast now, they still sing "You'll Never Bake Alone."
I'm still somewhat bemused how they described Gerrard as 'the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.' For those of you that don't know, those words are invariably associated with the retired wrestler Bret 'The Hitman' Hart, who described himself that way throughout his career. He started the day as being made of bread and finished as an accomplished Canadian wrestler. They're an odd lot.
"One club man"? Hasn't he signed for another club?
Apparently mls clubs are thought to be so shit that they aren't considered to be actual clubs to list as clubs one has played for.
So xavi going to mls will also be a one club man.
Yeah Suarez really lowered their standards. Now any player that doesn't impulsively try and eat a defender whole is an honest professional.
OT, but isn't Xavi going to Qatar?
Should have been an if in there
Gazza was hyped up because England never had a Pele, Cruyff, Best or Maradona level player. He was all huff and puff and elbows. Never did anything against any top team on any kind of stage. So he flicked it over some 40 year old Scottish defender's head? So what? He's not fit to lace Paul Scholes' boots
You lot are something else. I'll put it down to you all being sky-era knobs who never actually saw him play.

Bread the Hitman.
One could make an argument for Denilson being the most gifted Brazilian born in the last 30 years. Doesn't mean he's better than a handful of Brazilians that actually achieved.
They couldn't, which makes that a really shit retort
RAWK seems to be in as much disarray over the future as the Labour party is. Poor defence, no midfield, strikers who don't score, Sterling abysmal again.
It's all subjective, like your opinions.
I'm sure Michael Oven will give him an shoulder to cry on.
Well that's what Zidane said. Don't blame the messenger.
Zidane technique was sublime but he was inconsistent. That's something Juventus fans used to say when he played for them. There are fans around who have enough brains to actually judge their players objectively.

Was chatting to my mate who supports the vermin and is a RAWK poster. He seems to think Sterling will stay as they would only sell him for £50 million and nobody will offer that as he's been shit this season.
I reckon they'd take £25 million if he refuses to sign a new contract and threatens to let it run down. They'd then sell and announce it as an undisclosed fee.
RAWK would then claim they got 75 million.

Lol this is wrong on so many levels Devilish! Are you saying Scholes was better than Zidane? And who are these Juventus fans and where did they say this (apart from whispering in your ear of course)
Scholes better than Xavi and Zidane now. The RAWK meltdown thread goes into meltdown.
I am saying what Zidane said. I guess he knows more about himself than you do.
Regarding the Juventus fans I happen to travel a lot to Italy and have family and friends there a substantial number of which are avid Juventus fans. I also follow the Serie A regularly and used to watch the Italian media and buying Italian newspapers (so leggere in Italiano). Mind you, in his good mood Zidane was unstoppable, second only to Maradona. However I have to agree with many Italian fans that he used to pass from some underwhelming patches.
Another great thing about the result yesterday is that tickets were going for £1500 to see Stevie's fairwell game. I wonder if those people think it was still worth it.
Zidane also said Gerrard was the best player in the world and better than Messi and Ronaldo in such words. Basically it means feck all what Zidane said.
I've checked what he said and I think he was fair.

For 2-3 years he was the best midfielder in the world. Nothing wrong with what he said.
Nah that is not the quote I was on about this is.
There is lots wrong with it.
Well I think he's re-igniting the eternal debate of whether players in other areas could or should be considered more TBH. The focus had always been on the forwards. Van Basten was considered AC Milan best player in a team which also had Baresi and Maldini in it. Who was the best player? What's more important? Scoring them or preventing them? That's sort of argument. Returning to Zidane's argument, in my opinion he's wrong in saying that and shows great bias towards midfielders (he was a midfielder after all). That's a common trap legends tend to fall into (If you read Schmeichel's interviews you'll think he used to stop United from ending up defeated all by himself)
However there's a massive difference between this comment and the one made regarding Scholes. In the Zidane-Scholes debate he compared himself to Scholes and said that Paul was better. That's quite significant considering that legends tend to have great egos and that both players, played in the same role and pretty much in the same generation (Scholes and Zidane are roughly the same age). If you ask me Zidane was the better player however Scholes was far more consistent and effective.
Ah and you can ask around here and they will surely tell you that I am the least person you can accuse of having a United players bias.

Yeah, especially towards United legends like Neville brothers or Wesley.
Doesn't matter what he meant, Gerrard's never been the best player in the world by any standard or metric.
At no point was Gerard the best midfielder in the world
He is on the alternative world.
Anyway. Less debate and more RAWK comments please. We have other threads for debate.
I honestly don't remember Gerrard having a season as the best midfielder in the Premier League never mind the best in the world. He wasn't even the best English CM of his era.
Zidane, Scholes, Pirlo, Xavi, Keane, Vieira, Iniesta to name a few were all a tier above his ability.

Those words were also used on the statue of Michael Jordan, out side of the Chicago Bulls arena:
Those words only work with someone who is / was indisputably the best in the world.
They really love Gerrard again and it wasn't 5 months ago they were telling him feck off to the U.S.
I've had my fun slating him the past few days but you gotta give him credit for his loyalty, his situation is similar growing up loving this 10/10 girl she's almost as good as she was when you finally get with her but over time she keeps getting fatter and fatter and you know you can do better but you've been with her so long now you've fallen in love so that stops you from leaving even though you know she's a 5/10 now.

This Zidane said this, xavi said this, and any other refurbished claims that scholes is the best midfielder in the universe is laughable.
Players are being nice and speak good things about scholes and people use it as some kind of gospel?
He's a world class player, a legend, and more than that for us, but better than xavi and Zidane? You guys are pushing it
