That first Vine that @Speak was posted was, if I'm not mistaken, actually quite a faithful rendition of the Anfield Rap.

Yes, it was. The Henderson one was Henderson's song, but sung out of tune and with a, er, slight alteration to the second line.
I wonder how long they had to pressure John Barnes before he'd agree to sing the couplet - 'I come from Jamaica, my name is John Barn-es/when I do my thing the crowd goes banan-es'

Ffs. If you lot want RAWK posts so much go and fecking find some.

Yes sometimes a discussion breaks out. Who cares? It happens everywhere. Go get some funny posts yourself if you want otherwise you lot "oh please someone ban the people having conversations" are literally the most annoying things ever. If shit like some Everton fan saying "that's unfair it's offside" can be posted 20 times then I don't mind a spurs fan talking about Eriksen if it comes up

Cheers. It's more about their belief Coutinho having just 2 goals makes him Iniesta or Modric, than anything else. His passing just isn't that good. It's like people assume a guy who doesn't score from midfield must have more technical ability and a guy that does score from midfield must have less. Very odd.

Can you take this shite back to its proper home and leave us to laugh at RAWK in here?
You realise the guys in those vines are about as representative of Liverpool fans as Jedward with a "Van Gaal out" banner waved aloft. They're nothing but tedious and many times calculating attention trolls who are either too stupid to care about or deliberately coming across stupid to get more people look at their video. Youtube is littered with Arsenal fans, who realised they can get more people watching their channel if they sing or rap some nonsense about Szczesny or Mertesacker than if they wrote OK, Computer and tried to stick it on youtube without advertising.

I prefer the people who don't realise their comments are stupid and genuinely think a player they like is much better than one at another team they don't follow. The Joe Allen is Welsh Xavi stuff. The "Markovic is already a better Steve McManaman" after 1 goal in half a season stuff. The "Lallana reminds me of Zidane" and "Sterling will be somewhere between Robben and Messi" stuff. The Sakho is the best defender in world football, Can will be the new Busquets, Coutinho would be the best player in the world if he could finish stuff.

There's room for both. This thread's hardly chockablock is it.

More successful through balls than any other player in the league since August last year, Silva aside. His passing is exceptional (we saw two examples of it on the weekend).

Since joining the league he's created more clear cut chances than anyone.

Is that highest as a percentage, or as a flat number? Just curious.

What worries me is that RAWK-projected Ballon d'Or winner Coutinho is only their 3rd best player. :eek:

Maths with RAWK
What do you think the total is between Falcao, Rooney, Di Maria, and RVP? 100 million pounds per week?
However, because one of their fans has written that, a good portion of them will believe it.

Watched half the match tonight - so disappointed at the lack of quality from Van Gaal's selected side that I could not be arsed to watch the 2nd half - even worse I didn't give a shit if they won, lost or drew.

If VG doesn't get his arse in gear and sort out this embarrassing shambolic mediocrity in red, Arsenal with their pace and flair will come and dismember United at OT in the 6th round.
Blind was a joke - I could be tempted to say some of his passes were scarily reminiscent of a Blind man. In fact I have been tempted and I've said it. He was terrible as was Di Maria and also in all honesty as was Herrera.

I watched the disorganised chaos that was supposedly my Premier League side - currently lying 3rd in the table remember! - allegedly "defending" long hoisted free kicks with something approaching sheer disbelief. It was as though it was the panic of WW1 trenches! Bodies were rolling about all over the place because they were so poorly positioned to defend a basic set piece! It was at times reminiscent of many a Sunday morning pub game after a skinful the night before. Shocking really shocking.


Isn't JohnnoWhite the United fan from the 1960s who hates everything surrounding United and states Liverpool as the greatest English team ever?

Another baffling post from the old man:lol:Do RAWK mods even try?

I've read a few of that guy's posts, and either he's genuinely mentally disturbed, perhaps suffering from a form of Stockholm syndrome, or is just a complete and utter WUM. I prefer to think the former statement is true.

Also, I'm certain that he's only about 20 years old... watched the Busby Babes my fecking arse. What a nutter.

'Dismember United.'

Surely one would say 'dismember us,' instead?

Clear case of Stockholm syndrome. Also, I get the feeling he is early 20s. What 70 year old is going about on a forum like him.

@peterstorey has watched Best, I believe. I think he's definitely seen the Busby Babes. His posts about them are very clued in and interesting to read.
No doubt, it was a bit tongue in cheek but it's the story over there. 99% of them talk about going to games in the 60s, 70s and 80s. It makes them 'true' fans if they are older.

Well the tweets suggest that, I can't say the majority of them say that with any accuracy.

I didn't believe fans like him existed until I read NoWinNoFee and Insanity's posts on here. Just have a look through a couple of their pages of posts, they absolutely relish having a moan about something and refuse to credit anything.

Insanity's latest bit of genius was crediting Giggs rather than Van Gaal with the tactical change of Young for Falcao, because Van Gaa doesn't do anything good you see.

I think he showed up on the Caf, posted in the Newbie forums for a while then got banned. I'd love to see his posts here. :drool:

If he's genuine then it's pretty sad. His posts seem to be filled with bitterness towards the club he supports. Maybe he's just disillusioned because things aren't the way they used to be ("Back in my day...") and he isn't happy with what modern football has become. If he's a RAWK guy in disguise then it's hilarious. It's like sending a double agent into your own team. Maybe it's a way to help convince the RAWK posters that they're actually ok. :lol:

I first saw Man Utd in 1965 when we beat them 4-2 (Carlton was superb, Eastham better). The Best game I remember was 1968 when I kicked George very hard about 5 times in the opening 20 minutes - he then fannied me and lashed in a stunning goal as Man Utd went on to win 0-2. I can still rerun that one in my head and recognise it for a victory of skill and bravery over cuntishness.

Any one who thinks united are favorites for 4th should take a look at the Alternate PL Table, which is corrected for strength of opposition. Arsenal and Southampton (until we beat them) are the favorites and United are more similar to us and Tottenham.
