RAWK Goes Into Meltdown 2015-16 Edition

Oh ignore that. That's not him trying to mimic a scouse accent. That's how we actually talk in Singapore. :lol:

Singapore possibly the only other place Ive been to that la or lah is used.

Them Pier Head Pirates got everywhere la.
 
You can put money on that mate I assure you - in spite of you-know-who's imminent arrival!

This is a solid place to be talking about the game we all love. I honestly think that the overwhelming majority of the folks in here genuinely recognise there are times from time to time, when we all of us can set traditional club rivalries aside in the best interests of a good number of important factors. Maintenance of our self-respect, seeing the far bigger picture and the pursuit of honest and sensible debate. That happens a fair old lot in here and long may it continue.

Yes, Johnno. You are the best example of a sensible, down to earth and not at all deluded forum over there. I have seen more honest and sensible debates on Jerry Springer, and more convincing arguments on Judge Judy than you lot manage to have.
 
Like I said the other week in another thread now locked off, I am done with following United from the moment Shitface takes the seat - so I imagine it's matter of just days now.

Ah, the endgame approaches. So... we're just one managerial announcement away from a 67-year-old (or however old he's pretending to be this week) United supporter magically becoming a 30-something Liverpool supporter.

And we're all the weird ones.
 
So you're saying LVG > JM? Is it because he and Ronaldo are no longer fwends?
When did I say that? I've long rated Jose as the best manager in the world, in fact, since the moment Sir Alex announced his retirement.

Re-read your post, I think you have it the wrong way around then.
 
I got tired of reading JohnoWhites posts, if I'm even spelling his name right. He's a second away from writing poems like the rest of RAWK.

I really love how people have such high morals for a football club, steeped in tradition and looking at the ethicacy that surrounds it. Sport evolves you need "the right fit" and what other manager is there right now that'll do that?

"Speaking sense" aka agreeing with a different fan base to seek approval.

There's a whole different narrative to consider, that's moving in the right direction and being successful on the field, which is what a football club is about.

Who else is available other than Mourinho? yes there's Simeone but he won't leave Atletico and any decision carries risks. Pep is a great manager but he's only done four-years and three-years like Mourinho.

It'll be interesting next season, with Liverpool starting to realise Tottenham are a bigger club than them now and also struggling for top 6.
 
The one reason I know this Johnno character is fake is that any fan wishing to have an unbiased and reasonable football chat would not talk to a Liverpool supporter. Especially when the person in question has over 60 years experience to realise they are conversing with deluded fantasists.

What sort of fan dislikes everything about their own club yet praises their most hated rivals? It's ridiculous. Threatening to stop supporting United at the one time over the past 3 years we have looked like moving forward - I imagine all the previous Liverpool managers have been fantastic representatives for Liverpool whilst shitcoat, van ghoul, bacon face etc have ruined football!

It's been a long and good show Johnno but the game is up.

The flip-flopping on the age thing is a dead give away also.
 
The Jonno guy is clearly fake because what 65 year old man signs up on a Internet forum. A forum of a team he doesn't support too.

To be fair lots of older people are really good online. My grandad for example has mastered the art of complaining and getting free stuff over the internet :lol:

He's been a united fan for 67 years or something (must be true its the internet), has seen the club go through thick and thin, terrible managers, old enough to remember the Munich Air Disaster based on his so called age.

Lived through a barren trophy-less period for the club.

Yet its Mourinho that will make him stop supporting the club. The Munich song Liverpool fans used to sing and the bitter nature of RAWK he loves, but the United fanbase he detests.

It's a huge double standard.
 
Why do we give this guy so much importance and attention? I am sure deep down he thrives under such attention and could be even using it as a motivation to become more delusional.

While there is no doubt what you say is true, it is also difficult to ignore such an unique lunatic.

Duh. He has double identity so there's obviously double standard.
 
I think he's just an elaborate WUM, who is having a laugh at how worked up he has posters in here.

He didn't start out as one though, I think he started out like some household pet for RAWK to make their discussions about our lack of class, fall from grace and general shiteness sound less one-sided and repetitive. And over time when they noticed he got a lot of attention from us I think he grew into more of a WUM.

You must admire the lunacy though, to fabricate a fictional Manchester United supporter, in order to bash us.
 
Wait, so RAWK posters actually believe he's a United fan still? :lol: Do Liverpool fans on this forum think the same?

Tis the right answer.
 

Dont really know and see my previous post. I sent him a PM in 2008 ( I think when he joined ). I said a big part of me wanted United to beat Chelsea in Moscow as I would rather see a working class lad from Salford happy then some bellend from Kent. Or something like that. He never responded. If a Manc PMd me on here saying the same I would at least say. Cheers la.
 
On this forum when Klopp was appointed plenty on here said they thought he'd do well. I don't think they're "bricking it" they genuinely believe Mourinho is a poor appointment. Fair enough if you don't agree with them, but the idea that Man City, Liverpool and other forums are all just "bricking it" doesn't really ring true. Especially when as we saw on this forum, Pep and Klopp's appointment leads to hysterical whining if fans are genuinely bricking it.

must disagree.

RAWK and Blue Moon? just bitter numpties. Yeah...the guy who has won everything in short notice is a poor appointment. nonsense.

They are shitting it.

Wouldn't surprise me if the admins have sent out PMs to all of the site regulars, the main ones anyway, saying that he's a Liverpool fan whose sole intention is to wind up United fans.

Looks like my theory of an admin having created that account is finally vindicated. feck you Johnno laaa.
 
Johnno is a real United fan (or was). I used to be on a very small football forum with him years ago - small enough where a lot of the folks would get together for an annual dinner usually at the last home game of the season. I never actually got to the dinner myself (living in the US) but have met people who did and who got to know Johnno quite well. According to the folks I have talked to Johnno has indeed followed United from the 50s and since (according to other older forum members) the Manchester United - Liverpool rivalry was nowhere near as bad back then I think that is why he can get on RAWK and say what he does. I am told that after Munich Liverpool were one of the first clubs to offer their condolences and come in with offers of help. Some people have long memories and don't forget things like that. In recent times I think Johnno has actually gone over the top and seems to have developed somewhat of a Stockholm syndrome as far as all things United are concerned. However to reiterate he really is a guy in his 60s (maybe 70s now) who back in the day was a staunch Manchester United fan.

Someone should try and lure Johnno over to us, give him like a guest account with mains privileges and have him here on a monthly basis.

Yeah but why has his age fluctuated (up AND down) over the years. In some posts he claims he is in his early 60's, others he has jumped up to 70's. I am more likely to believe they co-opted his name and/or he really did set up an account over there that the mods took over.
 
RAWK said:
It's mainly because he speaks common sense and comes across as a genuine fan of the game while also holding his club's traditions dear. That sets him apart from the vast majority of the shower than support United these days.

Has this actually been verified? I mean it's not like all the posts quoted earlier had a timestamp on them. Someone would have to go back and go through them again.
Also can anything fluctuate just up?
 
From what I saw when gathering those "As a United fan..." quotes his age seemed to be pretty consistent over the years, though I didn't get my calculator out to be 100% sure.

He may have lost the plot since United have nose dived. This is plausible.
 
never mind Jonno, he's amusing and harmless. That Phase of Play on the other hand, is pure gold. Bring him back from his Scandinavian female woodcutters u19s coaching course, or wherever he is. Even RAWK couldn't take that guy
 
He never could have thought, back in 56. when he was 40 that it will come to this that 'shitcoat' will manage the club he's been supporting from 1932. And he's now 65 and has seen it all. Including supporting United during Queen Elisabeth.

feck sake. Sat reading these in a toilet cubicle at work and burst into laughter.
