It still doesn't make it any less funny.
They're just saying that because DDG is playing for United right?
RAWKites are capable of great comedy by themselves. No need to help them with these images...
Can't stick the boot in with dirty tackles now, has to do it verbally.He's so blunt its hilarious and unlike most pundits he's won it all and was the best midfielder of his generation so it's hard to argue with anything he says! Who would've thought quiet little Scholes would turn into such a dick after retirement

Guess he kept everything quiet for so long he's letting it all go now. Did he really say that though?
No. It's a spoof. Still funny though!
I still laugh every time I see the picture of the dipper supporter giving the five times salute towards a Real player
It does have a point here...
Excepted that he's only accounted for 9 of their wins! They won one in 66 too, does that not count either? Might as well say since the 80s Liverpool have won 1 while Real Madrid have won 4.
English clubs did compete in the 50's, Unless im mistaken.
Only United in the 50's -- although, it doesn't really matter all that much because Madrid were the best team around by a mile and the only side that was (only potentially at that) capable of challenging them died in a plane crash. No other English team of the era would have done much against that great Madrid side.
Edit: Wolves also entered the competition in the late 50's.
Actually he's missing 1.
From it's second year onwards.
The post was older than Real's La Decima if i remember correctly.
1966 onwards is the 'modern era' - everyone played at WC '66 for the first time.
So only count from there or somesuch bollocks I've seen cited on there.

That's a long 'modern era', half a lifetime! I'd say 1990 would be more appropriate - the early 90s saw huge changes in the game, much clearer line in the sand. But I doubt whether any Pool fans would agree!
Chances are the majority on that sight only seen Liverpool lift it once.
It's just embarrassing how much they live in the past.
Half of the idiots who talk about 5 times etc won't even of been alive to have seen them in their peak as a dominant side.

Not from rawk, but sums them up quite nicely. Stolen from the Reddit thread: Teams I hate in the spotlight: Liverpool.
History
On the playing front, it’s hard to argue against Liverpool’s dominant success domestically and overseas – but I’ll give it a good fecking go. Bill Shankly was first on the scene to win things for Liverpool in spectacular fashion – completely transforming the club. An outstanding manager who was as quotable as he was successful; Shankly won 3 league titles – one immediately after getting Liverpool promoted from the then second division - 2 FA Cups, and a UEFA cup amongst other things. Then, in true Liverpool fashion, the club completely cut ties with their heroic talisman under the guise of moving the team forward. Steven Gerrard Bill Shankly, like a man serving a death row sentence, found God. That God was the ever welcoming Everton Football Club:
"I have been received more warmly by Everton than I have by Liverpool. It is scandalous that I should have to write these things about the club that I helped build into what it is today."
Shankly saw the light and walked towards it and all you heathen Liverpool fans out there will also walk this path later on in life - You simply haven’t reached enlightenment yet. Goodison Park is life. Goodison Park is eternal. Shankly died a Blue.
Success was continued in the form of Bob Paisley’s Liverpool in which the club continued to pick up silverware. From all accounts, Paisley was a great bloke and an even better manager. But, coming from this stranger on the internet, I can tell you he was a massive trophy hoarding cnut. Skipping this era really helps with my agenda.
Contemporary Liverpool haven’t enjoyed the romping success previous decades have provided and it’s mainly because they’re shit. In 2005 the club reached the Champions League final via a serious of fluke results. Against Olympiakos, Steven Gerrard sliced a half-volley in to the far corner which helped qualify the team for the knock-out rounds. In the semi-final, Luis Garcia scored a phantom goal that sunk Chelsea – the ball did not cross the line. Then, in the final, the miracle of Instanbul occurred. The self-described greatest game of all time consisted of Steven Gerrard diving to win a penalty, no winning goal being scored, and the match was decided by an Andriy Shevchenko missed penalty. Millions of Liverpool fans headed out to have ‘5 Times’ branded upon their skin by their local tattoo artist making them not only really individual but also helping other fans identify and avoid them before being pummeled into submission by stories of ‘Stevie G’ and the final without a winning goal.
The current Liverpool team is much different to what has come to be expected from their disillusioned fans. Their fearless leader is a pedicured David Brent caricature and their team consists of overrated and overvalued footballers. However, this doesn’t stop the fan base from believing they deserve to be at the top of the table via football divinity. With the increasingly hilarity of high profile players turning down the chance to join Liverpool and those they have on the books wanting to leave, the future is bright for all us who hate them. Unfortunately, each time in the past when it has looked like they were about to nose dive in to the abyss, they have rose like The Undertaker from their casket. Another shit summer’s worth of transfers and my Belief Mobile will be accepting passengers.

Becoming a Liverpool fan takes a lot of hard work and dedication. Years of studying ancient mythologies and historical poetry is required so you can compare Brendan Rogers to Ares and write cringeworthy sonnets about distant victories of the past. Being able to create a banner or flag is essential and Latin speakers are desirable. Clothing consists of anything you like as long as you constantly wear a Liverpool scarf and lift it above your head like a tool for every rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone you hear. Location is not important. If anyone ever questions your bewildering loyalty for the club due to your residence being over 500 miles away from the city of Liverpool simply start to lie. A common and battle-worn excuse is to explain how a family member, who happens to be ‘a massive red’, influenced you from a young age. This tactic has worked handily for decades.
Rivalries
Geographically, Liverpool’s main rival is Everton Football Club. However, most Liverpool fans don’t feel this way because they don’t live within the city. Liverpool fans have a tendency to class any club that is currently successful as their rivals in a bid to make their team feel relevant and important. During the 90’s, the big rivalry became Liverpool and Manchester United largely due to United’s roaring success. Liverpool fans around the world were appalled that another team was allowed to win league titles in their presence. How dare they. Then, after the avalanche of money Roman Ambramovich invested, Liverpool self-appointed Chelsea as one of their new-age rivals and repeatedly mocked the club for their lack of class and attempts to buy success. I believe the Liverpool song goes “feck off, Chelsea FC. You ain’t got no history.” Liverpool then sold their club twice in the space of three years to wealthy American entrepreneurs in a move they refuse to believe to be hypocritical as they continue to see their American empire as everything that is good and organic about English football.
Conclusion
I hope you liked my brief history of Liverpool Football Club. To finish I would just like to let you all know that I am a veteran historian on the subject of hating Liverpool and my opinion can be trusted as fact.
feck off, Liverpool.

Interesting bit about Shankly's quote on Everton and Liverpool there. I searched the net and a thread on it on RAWK came up.
http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=273272.0
To be fair to Liverpool, after seeing Busby and United fail to properly move on from the former's retirement, it must have seemed like a good decision at the time to cut Shankly off.
Also, in that thread, someone correctly predicted Fergie would appoint Moyes.

Whatever Liverpool's reasoning at the time, I think it's a shame. Great man, Bill Shankly.

I thought it's widely accepted that modern football started in 1992 with the rebranded CL and the inception of the PL?
Well to be fair, that's the same for most fans of every big club.
Scholes has enough class not to say things like that, bollocks quote.
Secondly our squad is riddled with average players too like.

Liverpool want to challenge for the league.
Their three first signings of the summer are going to be Ings, Milner and Adam Bogdan. It's gonna be a long summer for some on RAWK.

RAWK logic. They lose their best two players (Gerrard and Sterling) on the back of losing Suarez and try to convince themselves that average english players available on free transfers is great business. Without Sterling and penalty Steve I can see them finishing around 8-10th.
They were only available on a free because they ran down their contracts, both Clubs wanted to retain their services. They are good players, no idea why some think otherwise.
Good 2nd tier players for the best 2nd tier team.
