"Appears when Liverpool win."
RAWK Goes into Meltdown 2014/2015 - The "We go again" Edition

Was wondering why his post count was relatively low despite him being a member for 13 years...
I know. Very long time. I just laugh though when a newbie searches all night through RAWK pages and really doesn't come up with something that in any way resembles a " meltdown".13 years you have been a member here.
Anyway this season really will be seeing united and Lfc going at it for fourth. Nothing more nothing less
Metaphorically? Or Physically?.. Laughing doesn't equate to coming here and talking about it. That is a bit mental to be honest.
We could talk about this all night in this thread, but please you Liverpool fans learn this is for mocking RAWK not for general discussion on Liverpool. Why do you bother coming in defending your team in here, its not the thread to do so, and its pretty pointless.
No-one claimed that poster was melting down, though. It was just beautifully, cluelessly ironic.
Apparently we are exposed with a back 3. Even though we have only let in one goal from open play this pre season, which was a shot from the halfway line.
RVP can stay fit, he did so for two season running before the Moyes season. Obviously Rooney's form this preseason and the fact that he looks fitter than ever means he will 'drop off'. He's also guessing that van Gaal thinks Shaw is shit.
This guy is one of the worst posters on there. His next post includes this (when referring to our good pre season).
They just make shit up.
Henderson is better than Ramsey, as Ramsey is not a special player and only has goals to his game. Henderson takes him in all other areas according to the idiots in RAWK'S Arsenal thread.
Seriously? Ramsey is easily a class above Henderson. He's arguably better than any Liverpool player.
Henderson is a decent useful player.. he can do a really good but limited job.

Herrera a liability and cards waiting to happen?.. That is just plain making things up.
I don't even think you can say just one part of Henderson's game is better than Ramsey's. Ramsey is just simply better than him at everything."Moyes was great in preseason"
I though Moyes was great for United until July 1st and he got his fecking hands on our club. Not sure what preseason RAWK saw though... They do know that Moyes is not the manager of Manchester United anymore right?
What is this alternate premier league BS they come up with?
I would assume that Liverpool either wins or ought to win every season in this parallel universe of their. Its The Man who stops them from doing so every time.
To be fair to them, they come a close second in this parallel universe (beaten by Man City) with us coming seventh again.
A lot of people do this. The idea is just to get a better sense of the title race early in the season, since schedules are unbalanced. For example, United start with 6 easy games this year, so if we win 4 and draw 2 out of them, our 14 points through 6 games would be title winning pace (88-89 points over a full year), but we really wouldn't have done better than the other contenders would be expected to do.
I think this year, though, the gap between the top 7 and the other 13 is so massive you could just simplify it.
I am sorry but these kind of calculations breed delusion and conspiracy theories. I would rather just look at the points board after each week than indulge in this. Might as well get Essien on the cause (along with his calculator).
That table is just the Storey table on the caf when United were in title races to give a better reflection early on in the season. One of the seasons we were miles behind on the actual table but the Storey table showed that we weren't doing too badly and we went on to win the league. Might have been 08 or 09.
Their graph had a lovely downward slant through games 36 & 37 at the end of last season.
I find it quite an interesting idea - to be weighting fixture difficulty to a projected points return because schedules do look uneven/patchy these days. OTOH, you could equally argue it's a load of cobblers because teams normally won't achieve 26 wins versus the weaker sides and need some points from the rival sides to stop them getting ahead with points you can't get back elsewhere because you should be winning those games anyway. For example, losing 6pts to City is more bad than losing a different 6pts somewhere else, or you could argue that it isn't, obviously.
Personally, I divide the teams into 3 categories and then consider these on a home/away basis. Category B & C home games have an expectation of 2.5pts whereas Category A home games have a projected points requirement of only 2pts. My Category A away games are 1pt rated = 'a good result' if you like.
I may be misleading you there actually because I think Cat C homes (the 6 crap teams) are actually 3pts. Anyway, the main thing is that it's completely fascinating to plot it all out on a Sunday morning. Loads more fun than looking at a potentially dubious actual League Table.

All. the. time.
Blimey we were so bad last year we didn't even get considered for this.
I think you'll note that Liverpool Football Club were rated as being better than City through games 33-36 and eventually finished level with them. Close to irrefutable, really, is analysis of this quality.

Brendan pulls, Liverpool do well.
It was posted because of the obvious irony. And the search lasted about 20 seconds, was the first page I looked at.
Perhaps you shouldn't read this thread?
Not RAWK but 39% think Liverpool will win the League according to a SSN poll (City, you know the reigning champions, have 5%). They and their players always seem to win these SSN polls. I'm starting to think they really don't have jobs!
They do love a good poll those scousers don't they
I voted for Chelsea to win the league on the mirro website, to then find that 51% of people had voted for Liverpool.
They should have a poll to see which team would win a poll.
What is it with Shaw..
Lad getting abuse from the scouse.. "Fat c*unt" and all that. One scouser said that he knows a fella that claimed to be friends with Shaw but the scouser didn't believe yet still repeated his claims as truth.. Apparently Shaw is too tight to buy a round of drinks..

We do have an awful lot of songs aimed in their direction that get sang almost every match. They actually don't have too many about us that I can remember.
Don't find much of the last few pages deluded at all. Coutinho is bloody good player and could only improve. Don't see why they won't rate their own player higher than us or even their team. They did finish above us and we haven't signed big yet in the transfer market.
I thought it was David Silva they were rating him above? Which is undoubtedly delusional - Coutinho is promising but still a long way from being as good as Silva.
Again I regard RAWK as completely delusional but what that guy says is he could be better in full form and potential. We compared Januzaj to Cryuff here. It happens sometimes when fans get excited over a young player.
I personally compared him to a young Ronaldo
