RAWK goes into Meltdown 2010/2011

All that Mr Ferguson stuff... I've always been convinced it was a WUM, I'm sure nobody could be that fecking bitter and deluded (unless they had serious mental issues).

As for today, Spurs have been pretty abject recently but were easily good enough to beat Liverpool. They're clearly quite a way off mounting a title challenge next season especially given that ourselves, City, Chelsea, and Arsenal will all surely strengthen this summer. In fact they'll do well to qualify for the CL next year.

If they don't secure European football for next season they're going to struggle to sign any half-decent players this summer. If they do get into the Europa the added number of fixtures and air miles will surely but a huge strain on their league campaign.

Anyway, I think us getting 20 is much more likely than them overhauling our unprecedented 19 league titles :).

Gerrard is gonna be a big problem for them next season. Where do they play him? Their resurgence has as much to do with him being injured than any 'King Kenny' bullshit. They re-arrange the whole team to shoehorn him into CM where he wants to play, and he leaves huge gaps in a 4-4-2. I think they'll be 6th again at best.

Can't see why myself. When he's played this season hes been generally good, so hes hardly a liability to us ability wise is he? And to be honest, Dalglish can do whatever the feck he likes with Gerrard and he won't get backlash from anyone, even if he drops Gerrard.

Gerrard has never been a problem for Liverpool.

He was badly missed against spurs.

I am sorry, Mr Ferguson...

The Mr. Ferguson thing cracks me up. They (and Rafa) think they're being so subtle and subversive with that. But in fact, he doesn't care whether you use his title or not... it doesn't wind him up, it doesn't bring him down to earth or undermine his status in a clever and 'dignified' way. It's just calling him by his name... if anything, it sounds quite respectful.

Idiots.

My mate who supports Liverpool is coming round shortly. I'm going to see how many times I can shoehorn the word 'nineteen' into our conversation

I had a meeting with my scouse boss and a few other non-United fans. When the meeting started I complained that it was getting warm and did they mind if I turned the air-con thermostat down a bit? Is nineteen alright?
 
I think they'll be in a scrap for it rather than challenging for the title, certainly. Depends quite a bit on summer arrivals. As it stands, there are simply 4 better squads than them in the league, though Dalglish has done very well with what he has.

And in line with that piece of idiocy, Red Cafe is autocorrected to Café Rouge over there. But why?

Apart from Cantona (and an association with him could obviously never be an insult), our connections to France are negligible. Seems more appropriate for an Arsenal forum if anything, but even then it's impossible to fathom what's supposed to be insulting about it. They've got a French manager and used to have many French players in their squad - so what?
It wasn't that long ago Houllier was their manager, and 'In Ged We Trust' was the popular catchphrase.

Is it because anything French is supposedly effeminate? The ridiculous association of the French and cowardice? I've honestly tried to understand that reference (Yes, I need to get out more), but the answer still eludes me.

The mind of the RAWKite works in mysterious ways, indeed.
 
As far as I'm concerned Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and City are complete locks to finish top 4. All have vastly superior squads to Liverpool and will continue to strengthen. Liverpool will have to get past Spurs to even reach fifth and I'm not really convinced they are capable of that. This Dalglish honeymoon will soon tail off as teams get used to their new style of play.
 
I have a Scouse mate who frequently derides RAWK as badly as you'd see in this thread. That said, he posts on TLW, which though not as prone to dramatic prose nor as clung to Rafa, is sometimes just as bitter/cnutish/delusional. If you merely look at the respective forums when we're playing you'd struggle to tell the difference - both wishing injuries on our players, claiming corruption and generally being bitter fecks, all the while trying to argue that we're the obsessed ones.

:lol:

And you might be right about the 'poncy middle-class armchairer' interpretation, but it's just so incredibly dull, even given their standards. A generic insult which migh as well be used against Arsenal or Chelsea. Why not at least go for Café Crevette to make it a bit United-specific?

Unless they're hinting at a certain lack of authenticity and a sense of wannabe-sophistication? But to look down their noses at the Café Rouge chain they'd have to out themselves as being middle-class ponces too, clashing horribly with their self-image as dead hard working-class home-and-awayers. So it's back to square one -- the straight 'They're ponces!' interpretation.

Anyway, the RAWK I know and love is finally back after a terrible patch of bad form. Goodbye generic bitterness, and hello 'an insurmountable sense of pride, regret, humility'!

It also brought Michael Thomas, Eric Cantona and Pippo Inzaghi; and with that, an insurmountable sense of pride, regret, humility.

It matters not what trophies United have won or will win, nor whether Liverpool finish 5th or 6th. As the sun gently massaged necks and calves along the River Thames – a pathetic fallacy for the 90 minutes ahead – Liverpool supporters were smiling.

From Lucas to Kuyt, from Flanagan to Suarez, the songbook was worked through, added to and worked through once more – a brimming catalogue which even Michael Jackson would have tipped his ivory white hat to.

The master of the Moonwalk would have also approved of the movement of Liverpool, particularly the front three.

Why Liverpool should never look back again
 
Ferguson wishes he had taken part in Anfield Raid..

It's quite funny the amount of comments calling him classless when there's posts like this in the same thread;

I wish you'd have taken it there aswell, and got your fecking head stoved in, you purple-faced bulbous-headed ginsoaked stinking of piss hard shoulder shitting alchy haggered old cnuting feckstump.

See how funny he finds it when I sneak into old Trafford with a sniper rifle and pop his purple head like a fecking watermelon. Dickhead.

Drunken twat.

The only way I would have enjoyed him doing that is, as he put it up, he fell over the edge.

To his death. c*nt.

Funny, I wish I could take part in his brutal assassination

To think Rawk had the cheek to claim that we are a venomous spewing bunch towards their managers, when i can't even recall anything more harsh than calling Rafa Benitez a Fat Spanish Waiter. On the contrary, you see all sorts of death threats, wishes, broken limbs and all towards personels of Manchester United. Something similar over here would have resulted in an outcry and immediate ban. This is where the difference between RAWK and Redcafe is, CLASS
 
That's not entirely a fair comparison in that Sir Alex is one of the greatest managers of all time, has no apparent interest in leaving his job, and has personally overseen the greatest period of sustained excellence in English football history, whereas Rafa Benitez was a hilarious twat who turned LFC into a punchline. We never wanted him to leave, so why would we have wanted to harm him?

I honestly can't tell if he's taking the piss or not, I bet they have WUMs who go undetected for years because their posts are indistinguishable from the sudopoetry of their more deluded posters.
 
I like how stealing another Celtic song is making Michael Jackson jealous.
 
Those comments about Fergie just shows you how much it's killing them that we've won our 19th title.

They'll be shitting themselves next weekend when we play Barca, because if we win, we're only one behind in the EC. And once we catch them up there, what's next for them? Holding tin foil UEFA Cups and singing 4 times?
