After signing Clyne, the next one should be RAWK Goes Into Meltdown 2015/16 - The Southampton of the North.
 
They've actually made fairly decent signings compared to last seasons horror show.
 
It looks like we are back in the conversation for top four and perhaps even the title. Still depends largely on further signings (fullbacks, striker?) and how quickly the players gel but there is no reason in my mind why we can't compete to be the best teams in the league. We should be a whole lot more exciting to watch this season though.

After signing Firmino. Now imagine their reaction after signing actual quality players.
 
Mixed reaction to the forthcoming appointment of Liverpool's new Assistant Manager, Sean "I've Never Heard Of Him" O'Driscoll:

Another one of Brendan's mates rather than someone with experience. Brilliant.

This can't be true can it? He was a joke for Bristol.

Bristol City were already struggling at the foot of the table when he took over in all fairness, the football did marginally improve and for a while it looked like they might stay up but that could of been down to the normal lift when a new manager takes over. Ultimately they were relegated and the following season things went to shit and the football was horrendous. The fans really wanted him out come the end.

So we get linked with exciting talent like Pako and Meulensteen....Nope we get some c*nt with a 25% win ration with Bournemouth 20 odd years ago. feck off. Liverpool Football Club.

Basically Brenda wants to make sure that there is no one with strong connections to the ol' Bootroom -- and not have any threats or lack of trust/loyalty issues. Signs of someone who doesn't feel very secure about his position.
 
a dire warning

So it looks like we're getting a new assistant manager, and a lot of people would like to discuss him, so this is a thread to do just that.

What this thread isn't for is being a c*nt, having snide or overt digs at the owners and the manager, being a c*nt, telling us that O'Driscoll is going to be a failure because he coached Anny Comp girls under 13's and they got beat by Alsop, being a c*nt and telling us how he's not Pako or Rene out of 'Allo 'Allo. I reckon you get the gist.

If you do happen to decide to ignore the above and just think you'll be a c*nt anyway, we'll make sure you get a ban from the TWAT forum.

How long that ban lasts will depend on the mood of the big mod of the day - could be a day, could be the rest of the transfer window, or anywhere in between.

As it's a starred topic, quality of posts is more important than quantity, so try to not just regurgitate shite and have the same circular bullshit arguments that other threads descend into, please.

I reckon that's a fair enough warning, so if you feel like you've got a contribution worth making, go for it.

the not being a c*nt directive clearly disregarded here however

If Brendan is getting the AM he wants and results are poor, the buck surely stops with Rodgers

I think they have made decent signings but I doubt its enough to get them back in the top 4.

This is unreal, bit of a PoP style post though. Used 6 paragraphs to say...this is a thread for Sean O'Driscoll, anything that isn't direct praise for Sean O'Driscoll will be met by the banhammer of doom, scribes go forth and spread the knowledge of the most knowledgeable etc.

To be fair to North Korea they probably have some sort of warning before they ban you for life for saying Kim Jong Il might have scored in the FA Cup final but he's lost his touch in midfield recently.
 
OK, which one of you feckers wrote this.. :lol:

The 5 types of Liverpool fan…
Click to expand...
The Scouser-than-Scouse

Liverpool, as with most of the world's biggest clubs, have a proud tradition of foreign fans supporting the team through thick and (often) thin - and most are as passionate and informed as any Anfield native.

But the Scouser-than-Scouse takes things that one step too far.
They express their obsession by attempting to out-Scouse Scousers at every turn. This involves overusing the Merseyside lingo, being ferociously partisan, and taking any criticism of their beloved 'Redmen' as a personal slight, la.
To say they are touchy is to refer to Micky Quinn as a tad chubby. Funnily enough, they don't mind being called 'Wools' as they love how Scouse that sounds.

The Shankly Gates Shakespeare
This Liverpool fan is an unappreciated genius. Picasso had his canvas, Rodin his clay, while the Shankly Gates Shakespeare turns to the internet forum to share his art.

They're not fans of Twitter because it doesn't allow them to fully express their oh-so-worthy opinions in the most verbose and flowery prose possible. So they revert to blogs and message boards - explaining mid-essay that they're 'actually welling up' and 'literally shaking'.

The worst possible scenario is when one of these bedroom bards masters the basics of Photoshop. We then have Lord of the Rings and Gladiator-style mock-ups of their heroes in glorious sepia effect.

The Kopite Gobsh*te
The Kopite Gobsh*te is the very antithesis to the two types above. It sounds like an insult but it isn't - their existence is vital to the natural balance. Otherwise everyone would be ugly-crying constantly and there'd be a special #YAWN button on your keyboard to save time.

They love nothing more than pricking bubbles of pretension and outing blaggers, bloggers and bullsh*tters. What gives their crass and often merciless rage virtue is they'll go after anyone, including (and especially) fellow Liverpool fans.

As likely to reference Rose West and Jimmy Savile as they are Steven Gerrard or Rafa Benitez, they keep the more sentiment Scousers in check...usually by calling them a 'f*cking nonce'.

The Old Romantic
The Old Romantic is something of a misnomer - there's no age-barrier to this wistful history buff of the Scouse fraternity. Just as long as they have a selective memory.

Although the most common variety love to bore fellow supporters in the corner of the pub with tales of how good Liverpool were in the 70s and 80s, it's never too soon to turn recent events into bitter-sweet nostalgia.

And so everything is referred in melancholy comparison to the past. Liverpool are a pale shadow of Rafa's European Cup-winning team, or the Suarez-Sturridge side of 12 months ago, or the glory weeks between Christmas and March of last season. You know, the good old days.

The Purely Academical
This type of Liverpool supporter isn't into football for the indescribable buzz before kick-off or the visceral thrill of celebrating a goal. For the Purely Academical, following Liverpool is like A-Level homework.

They love nothing more than creating convoluted algorithms that prove without a shadow of a doubt that Liverpool are actually 2nd in the table (not 6th) based on weighted form, English goalscorers or some other
meaningless statistic.

They have about 12 spreadsheets open on their desktop at any one time, charting all sorts of interlinked variables.
It's a bit like Good Will Hunting...in that you wish that you'll wake up one day and they won't be there.
