RAWK Goes Into Meltdown (2012/2013)

Plan M

A new season approaches. Fresh optimism is already creeping into the deluded folks minds over at RAWK. They probably still think they have the best squad in world football. The best supporters in world football. The best kit, the best tea lady and the best weather in world football.

And we love them for that.

Here's to another epic season - don't let us down RAWK.

Enjoy



Already posted in the old RAWK Meltdown thread but I'll start with:

One of my favourite things in football, seeing it near it's peak. 'Buck Rodgers' and buck tooth are going to bring them to a new level of greatness.

Plan M

Pefect timing mate - it's the graph that never lies

Twigginater

Some of my favorite classic RAWK moments.

A blast from RAWK's past. Just after Uruguay had beaten Ghana and Suarez handballed it:




And from the Arsenal thread on RAWK:

The "I like the fact you underestimate Arsenal this season" thread never stops making me laugh.

After the 8-2 win:

Someone then says: to which they reply
I then say Arsenal have a better first 11 than Liverpool...

Love it.

Its amusing how accurate that "boom bust cycle" really is. Every season without fail its exactly what happens.

steeeb

Two on one page though?

Anderson's Cat

Fixed.

Irwynwastheking

Hardly my fault, and to be fair I did go back and edit my post to add the chart.

Ah fuck it, you can never have enough of the boom bust cycle.

niMic

It's actually astonishing how accurate it is. It's not just a joke, it actually happens, every year.

Badunk

Here's to another great season of hilarity!

TheBest

I don't know how accurate this is now, I remember reading a thread after brendan's appointment and most of the posters said they would be happy if they are even near the fourth place at the end of the season. Most of them looked realistic enough this time.

I'm always right

That "Liverpool player > Arsenal Player" is fucking hilarious.

charleysurf

Ah, isn't it about time to let the RAWK-watch die? They just love the attention. Makes them feel like Liverpool are still a big club.

Black Adder

Of course it's not, you can't just stop laughing at them, it's harder to stop reading those ridiculous comments then quit smoking and I've managed to quit smoking so know what I'm talking about

Recently read their thread about world team of the year last season. And while they've really tried to maintain objective with the players chosen somehow Skrtel managed to get place on the bench.

See, you must applause and laugh at their delusion, since there's no other way of reacting to opinions that last year three best defenders in the world were Vincent Kompany, Thiago Silva and Martin Skrtel.

Twiggy with the gold!

Old thread has to be "classic'd" a true vintage year!


Fuck off you scouse twat.

LOL

Revan

So a new season is going to start, a new thread about RAWK has started and most importantly IS ON AGAIN.

Talking Vulture

charley - if you don't like it, don't open the thread to read it and then comment you fucking loon

charleysurf

Is it not a tiny bit embarrassing that one of the main threads on the site is about Liverpool? And it's not just funny bits from RAWK, as it also becomes a general Liverpool commentary thread at times.

I get sucked into the RAWK lunacy at times as well, but ultimately it just gives them attention they are actively seeking.

Excal

What is the problem with this, exactly? Means there's one thread amongst the hundreds of incidental and ongoing threads over the the course of the year dedicated to laughing at the Scousers. You'd prefer to have new threads opened up every time they drop points? Maybe a new thread every time Suarez does something vile? Come on, then.

Cold_Boy

Imagine if Venky's had bought Liverpool.........

Lighten up, it's the internet - we laugh at them, it's rivalry and a bit of harmless fun. This thread isn't for in-depth chat about Liverpool Football Club - it's for checking out the comedy gems which the RAWK forums members serve up each and every season. Loads of us find this thread hilarious.

If you find it embarrassing, don't click on the thread and get involved.

I find the Messi/Ronaldo fanboi threads really embarassing personally, as are the matchday threads every single week. Guess what I do? I tend stay away from them, they don't interest me, they're pointless in MY OPINION but they entertain many other posters and that's cool with me.

Anyway, back to laughing at RAWKites now. Twigg, that post was fantastic mate.

Sally Cinnamon

Those Arsenal comments from last season are brilliant

Plan M

They really are fantastic. Love how Pool then finished 8th whilst Arsenal secure CL football. Idiots.

moyses

Obsessed.

Sally Cinnamon

I like to have gander at these threads from time to time.

Ole's_toe_poke

Tbh don't think this thread will be too much fun this year. Rodgers is a sensible bloke and will have them playing well I think.

Dalglish cannot be topped in insanity terms.

jakec

Was about to set this up, i done out a crest and all.

NM

That doesn't matter. RAWK will find a way to keep giving!

Plan M

Jake, I will put your picture in the OP when I get to my computer.

jakec

Top bloke haha

Irwynwastheking

I agree that the old thread should, IMO, be classic'd and locked. It was a magnificent year of Lunacy from the scousers. Also, yes this one can never be as good, but it is useful to have one place on the site where we can all visit to have a laugh at those poor deluded souls and not have tons of threads about them like they do for us. Also, it gives the loons a handy place to look to see what we are laughing at them for this week.

It's developed into more than just a RAWK thread, it's a Liverpool nutcase thread into which all manner of crap finds it's home. There was even some serious debate in last years one at times.

Cal?

A bad start to the season and there will be prayers about Rafa everyday on that site.

I greatly look forward to it.

ghaliboy

I see light hearted fun and comedy. I don't see anyone showing these symptoms. Why don't you just part the red sea and waddle on out of this thread.

Irwynwastheking

Sorry, how silly and premature of me.

ghaliboy

Don't worry I agree Irwin.
Last year was a peak vintage. Suarez, Kenny, 4th, Downing.. I think the grapes have turned..



I never understood this. It was just so ridiculous. So utterly loon.. People said he 'stood up' to SAF.. It was just so bizarrely loon.

What a fucking muppet.

Irwynwastheking

I've been looking this evening, and sadly all I find is the meekest optimism and the odd semi-mental statement. I await a signing before the true bullishness begins.

What have we got to look forward to this year??

- Suarez biting/diving/kicking/racism/general scummyness
- Brendan Rodgers dealing with it sensibly (maybe)
- The fans turning on Rodgers as Suarez is bigger than Liverpool
- Carroll failing miserably
- Downing and Henderson being just as bad as ever
- Reina continuing his decline (scousers in denial)
- Gerrard getting injured
- The first game they dominate and draw/lose
- The first time they hit the post

What am I missing??

ghaliboy

Locked threads!

VeevaVee

Definitely hitting the post I hope it's the difference between getting points.

How crazy they go when Carroll/Downing/Henderson have a slightly better season (how could they not?) is going to be great. They'll think they can dominate the world.
