I think they're trying to convince themselves we're not really that much better.
RAWK Goes into Meltdown 2014/2015 - The "We go again" Edition
- Thread starter Pexbo

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
What dues, that's a United fan calling them out on it.
Its going to be an interesting season for Brenton and the boys.. I seriously think if they fail to get top 4 this year they will implode completely.. cant wait!
Why is Can being used as a point of reference? He wasn't that good before he joined Liverpool, and he's bang average now. Congratulations on remaining a totally unremarkable player in two leagues.

Schweinsteiger 'past his best'
Jamie Carragher has questioned Manchester United's signing of Bastian Schweinsteiger and feels the player is "past his best".
Bayern Munich chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confirmed on Saturday that a deal has been done to take the 30-year-old for Old Trafford.
But Sky Sports pundit and former Liverpool defender Carragher is unsure how good the transfer will actually be and also feels the potential exit of goalkeeper David de Gea would mean United losing their best player.
"Great player but at BM (Bayern Munich) he found it difficult to play alongside (Xabi) Alonso be interesting to see how he & (Michael) Carrick works," he wrote on Twitter.
The comment prompted a response that Carragher was bitter, to which he replied: "You joking? losing your best player (De Gea) & now signing a player past his best I couldn't be happier!"
He then went on to say: "I make a tactical point & get abuse from Man Utd fans! They don't understand tactics."
However, the wider reaction to the signing on Twitter was positive with former England international striker Gary Lineker saying: "Great signing by Manchester United. In @BSchweinsteiger they've bought themselves both a brilliant footballer and experience."
Former United player Danny Higginbotham said: "You can never have enough leaders in a team. @ManUtd had so many for so long but over recent years not enough. Priority I'm sure

Aidy Ward was right
Latest form North Korea:
Yeah, a whole year of finishing ahead of us.
Falcao comparisons already, based on jack shit as ever.
Irrespective of that we took their position in the top 4. Bunch of idiots.
Or Schweino as they would have called him if he went there. So Schneiderlin is a LFC fan?They are absolutely insane. In complete denial...comparing Can and Schweinsteigher
They can have Schweinsteiger. He's a squad player.
Great player in the past. Sure he'll have the good odd match for United.
But he'll be 31 the first month of the season. He comes to a faster paced league, ask Emre Can who has a lot more pace than Bastain. It's a more physical league, again ask Emre.
He comes with two bad ankles, to a league where tackles aren't as punished.
He comes to a league with no winter break, so he won't have those extra couple weeks to recuperate.
And he'll be managed by the Dutch Sam Allardyce...
I'm not that worried about him.
I'm sure he'd ask Can if he wanted to know how it feels to be an average player, playing for an average team who won't play Champions League football.
That's hilarious, behind Milner!
In FM he's marked as a Real Madrid supporter....
Ah, didn't notice that. Figures.
What is that 'bye bye' smiley (emoticon) all about really? Is it like make a sarcy statement bye bye i won the crap nonsense argument? Or is it bye bye daddy you truly are a scouse cnut because I'm just born and you can't be arsed hanging around to pay for my ma's child benefits..I'm confused someone please fill me in!
I think it means they've finished their post and now they're off to sign on.
you didnt have to go to RAWK for that...those type of posts are right here being said by our own posters
Sad isn't ityou didnt have to go to RAWK for that...those type of posts are right here being said by our own posters
pretty much.
Can't argue with that.
Welsh Xavi > Schweinsteiger.
*£14m is extravagant?
**Bayern didn't want to keep him?
***I could've sworn he won the world cup.
Schweinsteiger probably has less tackles and interceptions because Bayern are so superior he didn't have to make them.
Of course, Liverpool's defense was so bad last year if you or I stood in midfield in front of their back 4 we'd have built up some nice stats.
Try telling them that though
Joe allen = sweinsteiger??
This is pennat = ronaldo mkii. They never learn
This is pennat = ronaldo mkii. They never learn
Notice how it's set to total rather than per 90 minutes too, they basically picked the only ones he's ahead on. Not that anyone with a brain thinks Allen's anywhere near as good, but Squawka's comparison matrix shows that on stats such as total score, forward passes, successful passes, key passes, assists, chances created, goals scored, shot accuracy, successful take ons, aerial duels won, blocks and defensive errors he's comfortably better.
'Absolutely delighted' that we're signing a world cup winner with more experience of winning than Welsh Xavi (Allo), Stevie Geordie (Hendo), Lucas Leaveit (Leavo), Emre Zidane (Cano) and Milneymar (Milno) combined.
Whats the reaction to Sterling, this should be good!
ffs @Pexbo you have ruined it.
You are going against the law of the world hereI prefer this one...
the scousers never fail to entertain.

So have Man United won the summer transfer window two years in a row?

I just read the whole of that page. Page 660. First time skulking on rawk. Mixed in with a couple of really bitter gimps were quite a few fans who sounds like they've been completely broken this weekend thanks to woody (delicious) but also a fair few rawkers who seemed alright, saying fair dos.Man United - ruining football since 1992.
One chap even says they're to blame for fecking up the 90s while we got mega rich. Great stuff, wiuld read again.
In short though, a lot of them seem normal. 660 though. More than double this thread. Very obsessed.
To answer your rhetoric, yes, it's a genuinely wonderful feeling. I'm elated right now.
Just popping this one here so we can laugh at him when we sign Messi and Ronaldo. And Muller.
Or Willo scores a cheeky hattrick against them.
A couple seemed to know their stuff and some genuinely rate Carrick but the bitterness and the fear was apparent.
Feels like a constant orgasm at the moment. I think when schneiderlin was announced i reached a state of Tantra.
