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

Sterling is a bit of a tool. There were a lot of rumours that we were going to buy him about 4/5 years ago because he wanted to come back to London.

I'd stay put if I was him, he's getting a good dd

Yup, I wouldn't leave a double D for London.

Depends if it's liverpoodlian dd.

''outstanding achievement''

Getting in the team by renting your house to the Boss is the one for me.
 
I just couldn't have predicted Liverpool's fall since that slip, it's too funny for an opposing rival fan. Not just losing the title, but the quotes like Rodger's on Southampton, UCL football etc. Spending the money on average players, FA cup exit, UCL exit... Then there was hope because of their winning run, only for Mata and Gerrard to end it fantastically. After that it just gets grim.. I think Mata's goal came at just the right time for that boom-bust cycle to come in. Now Sterling wants to leave too, at least they will get some good money for him, but I agree with them that a 20 year old doing that is just ridiculous. Now will be the fun bit, more average players coming in, suddenly the hope will arise, then the realisation it may not be their year.
 
TLW on the Liverpool Player Awards:

First time the players have turned up all year

I hope 90% of them are awarded 3 months in prison

Dejan Lovren. Best supporting actor in a comedy role

Reminds me of the German Military Awards in June 1945

We're not a football club, we're a fecking musical

Let me know when Best Poem comes up - I'll put it back on.
I bet most people watching this are doing what they did when watching Doctor Who as kids - watching from behind the sofa.

Collective award for the whole squad - The Golden Shower
 
I was worried that these threads would die after Liverpool's surprising 2013/14 season, but damn they've really tried hard to give us some comedy gold this season :lol:

The season's surpassed my hopes and expectations I have to admit. It began way back with the Suarez bite, standard RAWK player denial, defence and the sale only to be replaced by Balotelli as a panic buy. Falling behind in the league early on and struggling to beat a pub team in the Champions League followed by them getting battered by Ronaldo and Madrid. The 3-0 loss at Old Trafford and then the news that Stevie Me was leaving at the end of the season. A lull before a second loss to us at Anfield including that stamp, an end to the dream of silverware in the FA Cup by Tim Sherwood and Gerrard's testimonial spoilt by Fergie's last buy. And now the news that Sterling wants out and has been booed at the award show. Epic stuff.

It's been especially sweet after they all acted like last season was some kind of reestablishment of the natural order of things, with "the Mancs a midtable side" again, while they were "back" in the hunt for a title. Even though we've had our own share of problems, they've been absolute comedy gold ever since the Moyes statue. A scriptwriter would have been laughed out of the cafe if he'd outlined the plot from the last year or so.

THIS is what they should be writing books about
 
Article from the guardian yesterday, sums up Liverpool perfectly. Not quite RAWK but that's who it's aimed at.

Enjoy

STERLING SLIDES
As we all know, Liverpool Football Club is special. Different. Classy. Unique. Special. Unique. Classy. Unique. Iconic. Unique. Special. Unique. Clubby. Clubbish. Clubesque. Special. Unique. Increasingly irrelevant. Over the hill. Past-it. Yesterday’s news. Special. Unique. Iconic. Unique. Special. Special. Special. Unique. Liverpool Football Club are special. And unique. And special. And classy. They’re special and specially unique and uniquely specially and specially special and uniquely classy and they have a different way of doing things, you wouldn’t understand, you just wouldn’t, because you’re not special, or classy, or unique, you’re not Liverpool Football Club, and you wouldn’t understand, so don’t even bother, just accept it, they’re the best football team in the tra-la-la-la land.

Liverpool Football Club’s specialness and uniqueness and classiness naturally places them in a position to pat lesser clubs on the head and let them know of their place in the food chain. Clubs, say, like Southampton, who were browbeaten into selling Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren to mighty Liverpool last summer. “They have a choice as a club,” Liverpool’s head guru, Brendan Rodgers, roared last August. “They don’t have to sell. You have a choice. Maybe Southampton’s objectives have changed. They were looking to be a [Big Cup] club, I believe. They obviously wanted to change. There might be one or two others who leave. It’s just the way it works.” It’s. Just. The. Way. It. Works.

Words to live by. Poetry in motion that comes to mind now that Raheem Sterling is busy letting Liverpool know that the way it works is that he would like to leave in the summer, maybe join a bigger club, play for a team who actually have a chance of winning something in the near future, that there’s only so many times he can hear about the Miraculous Miracle of Istanbul before he’s forced to go all Van Gogh on his ears.

Treason! Naturally Sterling’s desire to play for a good team has been met with fury and The Fiver assumes he has spent the day locked in Melwood’s Re-education Chamber, a crack team of Phil Thompson, John Bishop and John Aldridge taking it in turns to hammer home the uniqueness and specialness and classiness of Liverpool Football Club, making sure Sterling knows that he will forever walk alone if he joins Manchester City, a terrifying prospect indeed. It’s just the way it works
 
RAWK's resident Manc since 1892 responding to a poster who said Liverpool haven't been close to success for 25 years:

Not correct mate.

Just checking on the club's honours record (onhttp://www.liverpoolfc.com/history/honours) Just take a look at these stats up to 1990 - not quite 25 years ago.

1975-76, 1976-77, 1978-79, 1979-80, 1981-82, 1982-83, 1983-84, 1985-86, 1987-88, 1989-90

In the 15 years span above Liverpool were champions for 10 of those 15 seasons - a 66% success rate over that time frame. - incredible stats - and I'm a Manc!

So while I understand your point, in the midst of frustration, I think it's priority No 1 important not to allow yourself to get carried away. It is not close to 30-odd years trophyless. .

The fact he feels has to mention he's a Manc. Because how else are the rest of them going to post on how they "know a Manc so-and-so who etc etc!"
 
And within these terms of reference the 25 is heading relentlessly towards 30, he's a silly old Mancunian sausage he really is.
 
But 1990 is exactly 25 years ago :confused:

There are different ways of interpreting it. I think he's saying, "it's not quite what you're looking for, but look at this..." It's awkwardly phrased.

Even then, it's still dumb. Liverpool fans are painfully aware of how different the past 25 years have been in comparison to those he mentioned. They don't need some knob shouting "I'm a Manc!" to make the tears a bit less salty.
 
It would have been amazing if the projector failed halfway through the Liverpool awards show with Brendan still on stage. Just imagine some audiovisual technician having to run on stage to try and sort the problem out, and Brendan talking about what a great technician he is.

:lol:.. But remember, first and foremost.. he's a great human being.
