Was going to ask the same thing. We were expected to beat Spurs but they were expected to get a point?
I actually wouldn't rule it out that he simply has no clue how the points system works.
RAWK Goes Into Meltdown 2015-16 Edition
- Thread starter Xaviesta
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

I'm still surprised that some of them can even count to 2.
@Damien are you doing Storey Time this year?
Spurs are a 3pt HOME for us, innit? OBVIOUSLY!!! All homes are 3pts
They are AWAY - and should be expecting NOTHING (is it? I dunno)
look they're top of it anyway, OK ??

might as well hand them the title now, it's their year.
Making a thread after the City game.
The poster does have a point, hate to agree with anything on RAWK but have to with this.
Does anyone follow that YNFA account on Facebook? Always some cracking comments on it from scousers.
The difference on points from last season on the same games.
United won on both season against Spurs so 0 points there. Liverpool drawn against Stoke last season, but this time won so +2 points there. AFC won last season against West Ham, but this time lost so -3 points for them. etc etc
It is quite useless to be fair, cause football is far more complex than that.
Edit: Spurs should be on 0 points (like us). Unless there is something else going on.
Ah, Jesus, thanks for clearing this up
What in the blue feck is that?
He's right tbf
About half the caf thought we'd loose top 4 to liverpool until we beat em. That thread was hilarious.
They all know how many weeks between signing on.
Didnt they lose? SO they should be on +3?...
Yes, and also Spurs lost so they should be on 0, not -1
have they scheduled trophy parade already? open roof bus prepared?
In the context of their model, it does make sense. The assumption is that to win the league you're expected to win all your home games, the 7 easiest away games (based on last years table and the promoted teams) and draw the remaining 12 games. That would give you 90 points.
So, according that, United need a win to make 'par' and Tottenham need to draw.
Seems like a shit model to me.
Why's that? Seems rather logical to me.
dafuq is the system? in golf you beat a certain par. who goes furthest from that wins. football is a 1v1 sport, one wins means another loses.
only RAWK logic would create such a model

I suppose they can dare to dream because reality is not so good.
This has probably been mentioned before, but why does RAWK bother to have Red Cafe in its 'other club forum links' thread but not have it as an actual link?
Like, if they don't like the site why not exclude it? Or just have the link anyway since there's sites I would see as having a far worse reputation on there (not that this place has a bad reputation, quite the opposite)?
Is it because they know of this thread? Or did some posters from here troll them?

Probably goes back to the days when they accused posters here of hacking their accounts and then post slander about Hillsborough.This has probably been mentioned before, but why does RAWK bother to have Red Cafe in its 'other club forum links' thread but not have it as an actual link?

Surely, someone could work with this.
I don't understand all the fun of the alt table. Logically, it is a good way to look at the table until about midway through the season. We had the same table on the caf for a long time too.
Think it's too late mate.

Not from RAWK , but from their official forum:
"You're a manc fan. You are deluded.
They will be three points behind us after next weekend and we will stay ahead for the whole season."
by a nutcase named Lallana-bobana-BGB replying to a fellow pool fan who complimented our midfielders last game.
Him and a guy named MacedonianRed could give the whole of RAWK a run for their money with their crystal ball prophecies and unparalleled footballing wisdom.
The latter constantly tries to convince fellow posters that we are neck down in financial trouble and are about to be bankrupt any moment now....

The best thing about that game was the fact that you just know Coutinho will be the next one to leave for a big club. That was a belter of a goal.
He does this 4-5 times every season. And goes back hiding into his hole.. Not yet top level to be playing for Barca imo.
Still could go somewhere else though
Not really - he's a lot more consistent these days. Probably the only world class player they've got in their team. The sooner he fecks off the better!
We usually do 11 v 11 I think. Might knock it down to a 5-a-side once in a while
World Class? That term really has lost all it's value.
Agree 100%
You hear feck all about Coutinho until he scores a belted and even in those matches he's usually missing until he scores.
next Iniesta though, la.
Coutinho's only real downfall is that he goes missing for such large portions of the game.
I think it's largely down to laziness and not being bothered about continuously running to find pockets of space to receive the ball.
This will thankfully ultimately hold him back from becoming world class.
His passing is ridiculously accurate. Probably the best passer in the league, at least the best ground passer.

I must admit during that season I thought liverpool's inexperience would catch up to them gradually over the season but they proved me wrong and became serious challengers with suarez leading the line until the last moment. I consider it exception rather than the norm though, because previous several seasons they were nowhere near challenging for the title, and again after that year they went into hiding after they sold suarez.
Circumstances could change but at this point in time I don't see any more upsets from liverpool in the near future. there isn't any player in the liverpool team that could act as a consistent game changer (i.e. suarez). you could maybe argue coutinho but he's too inconsistent (maybe that could change this year, I hope it doesn't). benteke is still unproven at this level. sturridge apart from that year didn't impress me altogether. collective defense is still yet to be proven. far too many question marks right now to consider liverpool to be a serious contender.
Right now I see arsenal, chelsea, city, and us to be favorites ahead of liverpool.

Liverpool's inexperience did catch up with them. Rodgers deciding to go for a win his way vs Chelsea and then stupidly deciding to chase the goal difference at Palace was evidence of that.
True. but what I meant was I thought they would drop off during the december-march period where season starts heading towards the business end. Of course, it doesn't matter now because end result is still the same with liverpool bottling it in hilarious fashion.
So... anyway. Liverpool are shit. hahaha. Fat bastard and gormless guy in the crowd. Hahaha.
Take the discussion elsewhere guys. I see a post in here and expect to laugh.
