As far as I know it was a way for FSG to show their respect (25 years on), because it was at Fenway Park with all the top brass attending.
I can't see anything negative about it, the justice campaign should really concern us all.
RAWK Goes into Meltdown 2014/2015 - The "We go again" Edition
- Thread starter Pexbo
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

What are their thoughts on Joe Coles words? Will be interesting :P
What did he say?
Something recent Joe said?
He basically said that the their club mentality is outdated. Everyone there was harping on about them being the biggest club in England whilst he thought that they weren't but he didn't want to say anything to object.
Still love Macheda to this day for that goal.. Broke the scousers hearts.
I always find it hilarious that the first big interview for their new signings each year is generally saved for before the first United tie, when they can come out with the 'biggest club in England' spiel and get all the scousers into a froth. You'd think that within the club - which is after all a serious, big-money business - they'd be much more rational than the slavering fanbase. But all the evidence suggests not.
EDIT: Googling for those comments, they seem to have been made in 2013, no?
Yeah, when he arrived at Liverpool he said he was joining the biggest club in England. Upon leaving the club, he admitted that he was told to say that.
No idea. I read them translated on an Icelandic media without any source.
I googled it too just know. 101great goals quoted their source as being reddit. The reddit post was a twitpic. So basically old rehashed comments from no one.
edit: The most upvoted comments on reddit (it was from the Liverpool subreddit) are sensible and very non-rawkish. Their basically saying he's right to his opinion and that his opinion is probably right.
Ahh yeah, I hadnt read it before today and only saw it posted everywhere so was assuming he was asked today. Regardless yeah, Joe Cole was saying the questions towards him were about Liverpools history and being the biggest in the club, and Joe kinda agreed and thus they came out with the headlines "Joe believes Liverpool are still the biggest club in the world" etc.
Will always remember Gerrard saying Joe Cole could do everything Messi could do, probably even better. Good times.

Come on folks. Less talky more rawky.
I know, it's almost as bad as bringing out multiple books about your team coming second...
He could do things with golf balls man...... Things.
Things that would probably end up with a jail sentence, should you do them in public, most likely.
Our friendlies are always analysed more than anybody else's anyway.

Just got this nugget:
We are adding Lovren to our squad and with Sakho into his 2nd season, we have potentially one of the strongest defenses in league.

Gerrard, Sterling, Henderson, Johnson and Sturridge were clearly all amazing. It was all the other players that were to blame.
Just came here to post that. Brilliant
It's hilarious when you put it like that. Every single one of them a notable under-performer when it came to the actual games.
Noticed they've claimed both our penalties so far have been dives, and the refs have been doing us a favour.. And they're already building up the conspiracy theory that the FA need us to do well this season because it's bad for the Premier League brand to have it's most marketable team outside the European places. I expect that one will really kick into gear when we initially do well in the league and maybe we get a perfectly legit penalty that they will claim is "incredibly soft".
They really are a different breed aren't they? I'd hate to be that irrational, bitter and deluded.

Sterling was good unless you had silly expectations of him and Henderson was alright, nothing special. Rest were turd.
Henderson did what Cleverley would do, nothing. He was turd, not "alright"
Maybe my standards were lowered due to him playing next to Gerrard. He was just very, very meh and did very little as you said but he didn't stink the place up ala Gerrard.
I think he was pretty much as expected, he's a hard working, athletic midfielder with a decent range of passing. An average player.
See the usual "shave £5-10m off the fee based on nothing" policy on RAWK is being put to good use with Lovren.
Some of them starting to worry now.
"They're using their first team"
"Pre-season game, so what"
"We'd cream that defence"
"PL want them to win the league"
"Diving for penalties"

Sterling I'll give you, although he was much worse in the actual games than in his impressive pre-tournament friendly appearance. Henderson was as poor as anyone, Cleverley wouldn't have done any worse. Wilshere would have done significantly better (and did, whenever Roy deigned to put him on the pitch).
Although anyone was screwed playing next to Calamity.
The negative side to me is it's turning into a sticky note on a fridge. It's there all the time and in the end nobody takes any notice of it anymore. It does concern all of us, it's a matter bigger than football, but sometimes less is more.
I can't work out if this is diminishing the Utd performance or the quality of opposition but quite like it either way round.
Well to be fair I don't think united played well in the first half yet they were 3-0. Pub team probably not, RAWK probably thought Roma didn't try in the first half.
This. So much this.
Heck, even here i Norway they spew the same old bile we've heard a thousand times. Also, their favorite stick to beat us non-Mancunians with, is the good old "You're a glory hunter", which is cute, since they obviously wore out their first pair of sneakers on the streets of Liverpool.

Joe Cole: ‘When I Joined Liverpool They Told Me They Were Biggest Club In England, But They’re Not Any More’

I like how they're obsessed with our preseason games, I dont know who did they play, who they are playing nor do I care...

Also, entirely made up. If it did happen, I can only assume the 'Yernited' fan was talking to his mate. Nobody acts like the guy described. Not even Liverpool fans.
They love a good fictional United fan anecdote.
What's best about it is, they are too fecking stupid to realise that the things these fictional characters say that are so bullish and delusional are the ACTUAL things Liverpool fans have been saying for the past 20 years.
Those quotes are really old (but still hilarious). I think he made them after he just left Liverpool for West Ham.
