RAWK Goes Into Meltdown - Quadruple Watch 2022/23

[Andycoleno9]

They want Gerrard? Seriously? Especially after our car crash with Solskjaer?

Not even what happened to us with Ole, but his shit show at Villa I thought would have put them of.

 

[Chief123]

The only thing greater than Klopp resigning or getting sacked is Liverpool bringing in Gerrard. That would be perfect.

Too good to be true. Will never happen.

 

[Tarrou]

Liverpool basically kicked off the meme banter era in football with the slip

I’m not sure the internet can handle them becoming properly shit for a sustained period

their fans will implode

 

[justsomebloke]

No that's literally the problem with him, he doesn't have any quality at all it's mostly physical gifts and a monster work rate.

Second highest xg in the league after Haaland, and five goals in his last seven games. I'm sticking with him.

 

[Grylte]

Maybe you guys could use https://www.redcafe.net/threads/how-much-trouble-are-liverpool-in.472604/ for discussing Liverpool.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Too good to be true. Will never happen.

of course it will, Gerrard will be Liverpool manager one day, maybe sooner then we think./

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Surely Xabi Alonso has now surpassed Stevie Gerrard as the next manager preference?

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

Christ you sound like the scouse citing xg

Almost perfect, if city sacked pep and hired shaun goater as well I could die happy.

I’d prefer Joey Barton than Goater. At least Barton would cause pure havoc and rip up all stability in the club.

CL

Bad for us as that’s one less soft potential draw for us in the next round now Spurs have won their group.

So the ex and current Arsenal players combine to feck up and let Spurs through, that’s a stinger

Good win for the spuds tbf. We'll twat them Sunday

So, our potential opponents are?

Bayern, Madrid, Porto, PSG/Benfica

Storylines everywhere.

Bayern- Mane
Madrid- Revenge
Porto- Again
PSG- Return to Paris

Maybe Leipzig but can’t see Celtic getting anything against Madrid

Real Madrid please. One way or the other, lets get it over and done. I cannot stand going all the way to the final and losing to them again.

Seems harsh to finish 2nd with 15 points, od Spurs were a goal away from being knocked out of a piss poor group and win it.

feck off Spurs.

Porto again would be funny.

So Liverpool got a tough 2nd round coming up, Bayern psg real or Porto. Spurs I hope they get inter , Milan, Dortmund, or especially Benfica.
Nice to see Atletico exit Europe and not drop down to kick lumps out of the EL.

Anyone see Mane’s handball yesterday. Two handed save above his head to deflect the ball to a corner. Ref went to the monitor and said he was protecting himself. A very strange one.

If we are going to go out it may as well be in the last 16 with how crammed the schedule will be. And if we knocked out Real then it would end the hoodoo and boost confidence.

Never seems like we play Real at the right moment. 14/15 we were dreadful, 2018 final we were a year too early. 2021 we had Phillips and Kabak at CB and no crowd. 2022 final we were running on fumes in game 63 and added to the chaos outside and delayed start. We would have beat them over 2 legs last season.

Thread: Prediction: Top 4 (started on July 13th)

The odds say City, Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea. What's your guess?

Newcastle had good form but iirc were well beaten by every decent side they played. And not convinced Ten Haag is going to be a success at all. And who knows with Arsenal, that was the most confusing loss of form I think I’ve ever seen.

Brave people whoever voted Arsenal. Arteta will be gone by christmas.

Liverpool
Abu Dhabi Sports Washers
Chelsea
Spurs

Liverpool
Oil cheats
Arsenal
Chelsea
In that order.

Need to be more specific this season.

I suppose so
The Abu Dhabi Sportswashing Financial Cheats to come second

I went for the 4 best managers in the league.

Klopp
Guardiola
Conte
Tuchel

I put Liverpool, City, Spurs and United no order specified. I think Chelsea are in a weird space and Arsenal are, and always will be , bleh

I doubt Arteta can get Arsenal swinging for a full season. That's why I have both Chelsea and Tottenham ahead of them

Man United will definitely be more of a threat than they we're under Ole and Rangnick but still nowhere near good enough to challenge for the title even if they do sign all their Summer targets. The only side capable of breaking into the top two this season and potentially challenging for the league that isn't Man City or Liverpool is Spurs as they have the the squad and manager do it.

I think only Liverpool and City will finish in top4 for sure. It's going to be tough fight for the other two spots.

1. Liverpool - duh
2. ManC - think the lack of depth is going to be the difference

3. Spurs - A pre-season with Conte and I think they've added some good pieces
4. Chelsea - The transfer comedy is making people forget they still are a very good team that was clearly 3rd last year.

5. Arsenal - Jesus will score 15 goals but by the end of the season their fans will think they need a new striker because he's not "clinical". This assumes Partey is available for more than half the games, if not then they have no replacement and they'll fall back.

6. West Ham - This is all just based on Rice staying healthy. If he's injured for any length of time they'll go to midtable.

7. Man Utd - Don't think playing like Ajax is going to work in the PL and this might be high for them.
8. Newcastle - Yuck
9. Aston Villa - A lot of money to finish 9th
10. Leicester - This is all based on Vibes
11. Palace - If Doucoure is good then maybe they could push for a European spot
12. Brighton - What are they doing? This is all just based on Potter

13. Leeds - US homer
14. Brentford - Like their transfers and think Frank is a good manager

15. Southampton - Hasenhuttl has a system that works, think it will make the difference
16. Wolves - Lage is a bad manager and Jimenez might be toast, they could be in trouble
17. Forest - They weren't a dominant Championship team, just betting on others to be worse
18. Everton - Fat Frank + Worse Squad = Dyche in January and still relegated
19. Fulham - At least Marco Silva is a fun manager?

20. Bournemouth - Parker is not a good manager and this is a pretty bad squad.

Spaces are for expected points gaps.

Top 2 is nailed on us and City for atleast the next 4/5 years. I really hope Arsenal get top 4 this season, much rather them than any of the others. But what I really want is for the shite to get relegated once and for all.

September 19th

What's the current opinion of this?

Wont be Arsenal, only 7.5% voted for that, and that includes my vote.

Only thing that has changed is Chelsea look a bit dicey, thats it.

City Liverpool Arsenal Spurs. No doubt.

I'm afraid manutd might get our spot

The cheats obviously, that's what they were manufactured for. The other 3 places, us deffo and Arsenal and Utd. I can see Spurs fecking it up.

United keep getting overrated on here. They wont get within 10 points of top 4

City, ourselves, Spurs, Arsenal. Think Chelsea and United miss out.

1. City
2/3/4. Toss up between us, Spurs, Arsenal.

Utd a close 5th.

1. City - 94
2. Spurs - 86
3. Arsenal - 84
4. Liverpool - 78
5. United - 72
6. Chelsea - 66

Arsenal are getting nowhere near 84 points, and spurs 86?

October 1st

4th this season would be like a trophy.

We already back to this bloody eck

Well at least the pressure is off about winning the Title itself, let the cheats run away with it and start by beating Utd tomorrow.

Despite our current problems, I still think we'll come second...about 20 points behind the cheats like, but still second!

Will be happy with top 4 after our shocking start. We will get there. City, Arsenal and Spurs to join us.

Anyone that tipped Arsenal to get there (not many) will be feeling a bit smug this morning. Not sure why everyone has Spurs as a shoe in, they play the worst football of any team in the top 8, haven’t had any injuries yet, and get outplayed every time I watch them.

Getting a bit try hard with all the Spurs comments now chief

City
Arsenal
Spurs
Liverpool
Chelsea
United

This is the best case assuming we start picking points. Win against Arsenal can be huge

The top 3 won’t drop off, looks like we’re in a battle with Yernited and Chelsea for fourth unless we win tomorrow.

I don’t get the belief that top three won’t drop off. City won’t but the others will.
Also I can’t get my head around finishing below Arsenal and Spurs. If we find ourselves so far behind then I will be waiting for the cups. I’m not arsed about top four races, hated them when they were the main target, hate them even more when they are the backup.

Who’s even the third member of the top 3? Spurs? Not sure I’ve looked at a table since we beat Bournemouth!

Yep, Spurs.

October 9th -10th

we will win the CL and get automatic qualification to CL anyways.

No chance, would need a lot of luck….and 4 finals in 6 years…..will be some feat…..honestly think better to drop in to Europa and win that.

Legitimately the easiest way for us to get CL may be dropping to Europa to win that.

I don't want that to happen but that may be the easiest way as it stands because getting it in the league seems highly improbable, and if we play the way we are we could easily get knocked out the group stages of the CL

We're not getting top 4 and Utd, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea are better than us. City are better than all of them.
The players legs have gone, injury prone or in some cases can't be arsed.
Klopp has a big job in the summer.

1. City
2. Arsenal
3. Spuds
4. Chelsea
5. Liverpool
6. United

We are 9 clear of 5th place utd (they have a game in hand), but the top 4 chasers will all be playing each other soon so the i will get bigger. I think boring Spurs will defend their way to third place finish, but 4th place is up for grabs. Chelsea probably favs but only 6 ahead of Liverpool and there’s such a long way to go.

I think it will be a year without Europe for us. Hopefully a wake-up call to the owners.

As long as we're within 6-8 points off 4th at the end of December, I think we'll make it.
We're only 6 off 4th now

October 30th

We are 8 pts off 4th but we have a match in hand. 5-8 pts is not much but i don't see any encouraging signs to be honest. I thought after the City match we would win against Nottingham and Leeds easily and finish the season 2nd but it's just not happening for us.

We are a team capable of winning 10-15 games in a row at our best competing against teams that struggle to string 3 wins in a row. 2/3 wins on the spin and the table would look different

All the 7s. Finish in seventh, win number 7. I’d be happy with that

Always fancied adding the UEFA Conference league go out long list of European trophies, just hope we can do well enough to qualify.

Can't beat relegation fodder teams and you expect us to go on a crazy winning streak ? Sorry but I don't see this happening unless we go full out during the transfer window and buy 2 midfielders min.

Wouldnt be shocked if the top 4 remain as they are now, and in that order. If anything, whats stopping Newcastle spending another 400m next window, now theyre clearly getting to the next window with a real chance of top 4.

The most in form teams are Newcastle, City and Arsenal. They will finish in top4. It's between Spurs and Manutd to grab 4th position, and i think it's going to be Manutd.
Unfortunately we're out.

They are at the moment. After the break and the WC who knows. All their rhythm could leave them, and a completely different season to finish on, with other teams coming into play.

Pretty much every team is in play. United win today and they go fifth with a game in hand and 8 points seperate the top 6.

We aren't out of it yet and Newcastle aren't a shoe in either.
City are the only certainty.

Yeah long way to go, top 4 is definitely still on. Every team that isn't City will have a wobble or two

7 points United on same number of games. We have Spurs up next and Chelsea have Arsenal. I am hoping for an Arsenal win in that. I dont believe we are catching Arsenal or City now. United next away to Villa. Not concerned about Newcastle yet.
We could have done without Spurs getting back on track with a win.

Or we could have beaten Leeds at Anfield or taken at least a point from the Forest game

Hang on a minute, how come almost everyone voted for us to be top four (usually 1st or 2nd). I’m sure I read elsewhere on here that almost everyone saw our decline coming

A lot saw a decline coming. No one saw a relegation fight coming

Boom bust cycle finally on course after going wayward for a while! This reminds of of our last season. Almost every one of us thought we're competing for title, over estimated our squad & under estimated our weaknesses.

That’s even worse

You’ve been frequenting and contributing to a Manchester United supporter’s forum for TWENTY TWO YEARS. I wouldn’t even consider registering at a Liverpool fan’s forum.

I know United are always a big talking point and the biggest club in the land though, we take it all as a compliment.

You've been here a wet week though. There's plenty of oppo fans on the forum and it's mostly the better for it.

My original point still stands. I didn’t say that oppo fans are bad. I just pointed out the hypocrisy in @njred comments towards a fellow Utd fan.

1000 times this - even the thought of it makes we want to go and shower.

This place needs oppo fans otherwise, ironically, it just turns into RAWK. Speaking of which, hopefully we get some more content this weekend courtesy of Conte, Kane & Son (not a company name).

No-one was saying that “we don’t need oppo fans.”

What we need is a certain Liverpool fan to realise the irony in his postings. That’s the only point I was making.

Back to RAWK, don’t they let Man Utd fans join?

I think you're taking it all a bit seriously. I took that to be a light-hearted comment and @No Idea For Nickname 's work is impressive, not to mention much appreciated, so they weren't wrong.

Unless @njred was being a cnut and I missed it.

From what I've seen on RAWK there's maybe one or, at most, 2 Utd fans. And they are thoroughly shackled. Its no fun and there's certainly very little two way banter. It's just one way, and boring.

I like to live my life outside of an echo chamber. I've learned so much more by doing that.

Thanks for the reply and information. I've just had a quick look at that place and it looks like a forum from 2008 which has never evolved. Also, everyone is so angry over there!

Agreed, the Caf is much richer and informed than pretty much every other form owing to it's mix of fans.

It really, really is. There's the occasional newb that makes too many silly posts, but for the most part you get some real good and informed discussions here that you cannot find in any other fan web
