  1. Relegation is now a very real possibility.

    You caught quite a few here mate, well done.
  2. Post match vs Swansea City

    Foreign managers/players seldom get the truth of the British game which is you can't succeed with passing and technique alone. The major european leagues defer to technique but here you get your your head kicked in fannying around in the middle of the park. Wenger never really got it, once the...
  3. uefa breakaway World Cup

    UEFA nations need to agree they are setting up a new world cup and invite all FIFA members to join in giving them 3 months to sign up or rot in the backwaters. Blatter would be gone in days.
  4. Did talent get worse?

    You could be the "last of the mohicans" mate I reckon you jibbed a trend.
  5. Did talent get worse?

    Sterling and Oxlade Chamberlain representing the uk sorta proves my point - sprinters not dribblers mate.
  6. Did talent get worse?

    I haven't seen kids playing togger in the streets for decades.
  7. Did talent get worse?

    I know people won't believe me but every every team used to have tricky ball players EVERY one of 'em even lower division sides. Once you mention Messi and Ronaldo it's a struggle to find anymore. Taking people on is virtually non existent in the modern game.
  8. Was Moyes really our first choice to replace Ferguson?

    When news of Moyes appointment was announced for a split second the noise of jaws hitting the floor echoed all the way from Goodison to Old Trafford and about every news outlet in the land. Only the fact it was by royal edict (SAF) prevented a huge shout of WTF? I thought it telling he gave a...
  9. Did talent get worse?

    I'm gonna get all "arl arse" here my footballing days were the late 60s /70s. You made sure you got into school half an hour before the school bell and played footy, you had a mid morning break for 10 or 15 mins and played footy. At dinner time you legged it to the chippy scoffed your chips then...
  10. Congratulations Chelsea

    The Prem is a sporting fraud a financial league where only Arsenal bucked the trend of who has the most money wins. The game is dying on it's hole in front of our very eyes. Chelsea as champions is incidental it's enough to know the top 4 places have only been seriously disturbed by Man City and...
  11. RAWK Goes into Meltdown 2014/2015 - The "We go again" Edition

    There's a smartass kopite in a firm I visit and he laughed when, pre season, I told him this was the first LFC since promotion in the early 60s that they didn't have a genuine "star" to rescue them. Hunt, St John, Keegan, Dalglish, Rush, Owen etc right up to Suarez - there was always one. The...
  12. Everton vs Manchester United (FA Premier League)

    I suspect LVG's plastic head melts a bit in the sun and that simply has to have an effect. Half time talks with your manager's head dissolving - c'mon!! I defy anyone to eat an orange properly let alone listen to motivational blah, blah not to mention the goo. Well done blue boys.
  13. RAWK Goes into Meltdown 2014/2015 - The "We go again" Edition

    The funniest thing about rawk are the mods, it must be integral to the job description to tell their own to "feck off" every 10 posts or so. If Adolf was starting up he'd be recruiting these herberts.
  14. Ross Barkley's dive last weekend okayed by his manager

    I can't condone diving it's a curse on the modern game and offenders should be flogged then executed, HOWEVER, like most fans I exempt players and management from my own team so well said Roberto!
  15. Louis van Gaal | Manchester United manager

    Think he's discovering the truism "no games are easy in the Prem". You can't fanny around like the previous big clubs he's had where the rank and file of the leagues know their fecking place and don't get uppity with all that tackling and trying to win shite. He looks shocked by the whole deal.
