RAWK Goes Into Meltdown | 2013/14

[Buchan]

Seeing as our resident RAWK Meltdown thread creator, Plan M, is now banned, I have taken the bull by the horns on this issue and provided us with a platform to post the ever-amusing ramblings of our Scouse cousins. The 2012/13 variety had a lot to live up to reach the standards of the previous year as that unforgettable saw meltdowns such as the Suarez racism case, Hodgson, the messianic return of KKKenny and the slide down towards mid-table mediocrity. Last season may even have surpassed that hilarity with Suarez (again), Brentan's musings, Andy Carroll, and of course, the ever-presence shite being served up on the Anfield turf.

What a way to mark the opening of the new thread with the on-going Suarez transfer saga, the ever-delusional upcoming season predictions and the overrating of every player in their rather limited squad. Throw in the fact that we are about to reach the peak of that most accurate gauges of time - the Scouse Boom-Bust Cycle - it should be rich pickings for the next 12 months.

I'm going to enjoy it, as I'm sure all of you will.

Prick. I was waiting for the right moment to make this thread. You've ruined everything.

 

[Irwinwastheking]

Never too early.

Your boom bust diagram needs expanding.

 

[walsh]

I still want to know what Brendan put in those envelopes.

By right, it should be created on June 1st if you ask me.

 

[ghaliboy]

Nice one.

Their Everton (no bitterness, please..... ) was hilarious when Martinez was announced. A lot of 'these guys are such deluded wankers' posts which had me laughing while the caf was down.

Martinez could lead to a thawing of relations between the clubs. Less small time bollocks. Which be better for both clubs.

Nope, because whoever comes in, first thing he does is slag us and big them up as the peoples club, to get those fecking idiots onside, an they will lap it up. That's all Moyes ever did and it worked a treat.

It will be business as usual.

Should have been Steve's call tbf.

I can't believe they can top last year, but I thought that the year before.

What further madness can they serve up in the coming 12 months then?

 

[Cal?]

The Scousers have an amazing ability to exceed expectation, hopefully 13/14 will be just as entertaining, watching them replace Suarez with anyone willing to go there will be a nice start...

One I found a bit stupid a while ago:

None of those you mentioned will ever be regulars for United. They sell players for millions because Ferguson gives them a few games, the hype machine rumbles into action and suddenly they're great players. The majority of the players they've sold to The Championship in the last few years have been flops.

Our u-21 players (not including the likes of Coutinho, Shelvey or Pacheco) made 95 appearances between them this season. United's made 17 and most of those were in the early rounds of the league cup. We've over a dozen lads with a good chance of making it to our first team over the next two years....they've 2 or 3 with an outside chance of making it.

There is only one team looking enviously at the other's youth setup.

It's off.

 

[ghaliboy]

Tells you just how shite their first team is.

 

[JakeC]

So is next year there year?

 

[OGkush]

I find it interesting that as soon as a poster said something along the lines of their young players playing more minutes than ours has no meaning because the level of football at a team that had 89 points is higher than that of a team who had 61 he was immediately branded as an "idiot".

[KiD MoYeS]

Suppose we just sit and wait 'til Suarez is sold now.

They were linked with Tevez today, might have a gander at what they make of that.

 

[JakeC]

Any news on the lads they signed?

 

[Shark]

The scousers would love Tevez too, I'm sure. He's not currently on the same cnutish level as Suarez, but he's not far behind.

 

[onesaf]

at the purple Liverpool kit. That really is a horrible kit

The winter away kit is even worse

 

[ghaliboy]

They were linked with Tevez today, might have a gander at what they make of that.

Not rawk but some sense, however.

Sure, but for the same reason they would have no interest in Messi, because they haven't a hope of convincing them to come and/or paying the wage bill. Tevez's prolonged dummy spit is history now.

 

[Sunny Jim]

one thing i admire at RAWK is the Mr.Ferguson auto-correction tool. It's beyond belief

 

[MoBeats]

Someone on my Facebook worked out what their new away kit was yesterday, it's a printer alignment page.

 

[Ish]

RAWK, the gift that just keeps giving

 

[17Larsson]

I don't think this place could possibly be as funny as last year but we'll see. That new kit isn't a bad start

Clever

P.S As someone mentioned above, the images all seem to be auto-resized. Is there any way of increasing the size of an image on the new system?

The reply to that is fantastic and the reply again is gold...

United played in the champions league and won the premiership and had lots of players on loan in the championship. there is no way they are looking at our academy in envy.

One of the best pieces of advice I was ever given was to never argue with an idiot so I'm just going to let that mind-numbingly stupid post sit there.

Any common sense always gets shot down like that on the forum, it's brilliant.

 

[Buchan]

I believe we'll finish top three next season. A young vibrant team, playing without the fear that clouds City, Man Utd and Chelsea.

Can see Coutinho and Sturridge, in particular, having stellar seasons. Sturridge, alone, could hit 25 league goals next year.

Top two possibly.
If we start well. We dominate 95% of games. But with Aspas, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Thiago coming in - Goals will flow!

That's a WUM I would guess.

Which Thiago?

Why is the boom-bust cycle so small? Fix it.

I can't re-size the image, chief.

It appears the new system sizes them automatically for some reason.

 

[Revan]

Who the feck is that Henrick Mhkitaryan with whom the goals will flow. And Thiago

 

[Buchan]

Fixed. It appears pressing "indent left" makes the image smaller and smaller the more you click it, rather than centering the image.

 

[Irwinwastheking]

I don't think we'll peak on time this year. I predict two weeks late.
