Oh wow, A@A lives! I thought he was long gone.
It's funny to see the way they constantly try and find a negative for us when talking about Zlatan.
It started with 'He's old and will flop'
Then it was 'He's done ok but lets see how Grandad handles the Xmas period'
Now it's 'He won't be around much longer and his form will drop off soon, not worried'.

That's Manhattan Doc, under a different twitter alias.
He used to post on RAWK and regularly featured in older incarnations of this thread but got banned from there because, well you can see why.
He's the best Liverpool fan to follow on twitter if you want some variation in your timeline. I tried to get him to join here one time, reckon he'd be brilliant. He fecking despises us though, but at least he's funny about it.
Oh god, was that phaseofplay or (pop) to his acolytes. A@A was always more a rant fiend. I think @golden_blunder banned him from here years back?Who was the bloke that thought he was a professional manager with his triangle diagrams?
He's now known as Andy
Old Trafford. PhaseOfPlayWho was the bloke that thought he was a professional manager with his triangle diagrams?

Neville would and will if his Sky contract ever depends upon it.
Like Gerrard, Fowler, Rush and may others he was a boyhood Evertonian.
I imagine RAWK to be set in some sort of alternate universe akin to one you'd see in an episode of Black Mirror.
Tbf, reading through the last few pages has made me laugh. Been snowed in work and not up to speed.
They do gallows humour well- beats our whiney shite.

I feel sorry for these people's pets tbh. What they must go through...Nah, it's not game-raising. Gangnam style is most effective against teams trying to play ball, pass it around, build up...
Their problem isn't just breaking down parked buses but how quickly a ball can get from recovery to the feet of a forward running at Klavan, Lucas or Mignolet.

Rafa is not the answer
Liverpool FC; The ultimate game raisers. Just watch them beat Arsenal now.
I did wonder how long it would take Liverpool fans to begin the call for Rafa to return. Would this be the same Rafa Benitez who besides fluking a Champions League trophy in 2005 and admittedly, admirably driving them to the final again in 2007 achieved the grand total of diddly squat in the Premier League in five full seasons other than finishing second once? Would this be the same Rafa Benitez who couldn’t handle the pressure of a title race and cracked up? Would this be the same Rafa Benitez who had a rather rotten transfer record bar a few hits (Torres, Alonso, Reina, Kuyt, Mascherano)? Would this be the same Rafa Benitez whose bizarre tactics and substitutions alienated his own captain and best player?
I saw a rather interesting post on a forum last night which stated; “I’ve said this before, possibly in this thread, but their support has had a problem since Benitez was in charge. Hodgson notwithstanding, they deify their managers before they’ve even done anything for them. It’s one thing to support a new manager, but they go to extremes and it means any rational criticism of whoever’s in charge is drowned out by the hordes screaming about how the glory days are just around the corner.
Benitez, despite doing bugger all for the best part of five years was lauded as the best manager in the world, and treated as a martyr that had fallen on his sword to oust the pernicious owners. Hodgson got the immediate backlash to that and was unfortunate in the timing of when he got the job, and after being given no money to spend on improving a mid-table squad was sacked and replaced with Dalglish, and thus the deification started again. The King had returned to take Liverpool back to the top. That didn’t quite pan out so the brightest and best young manager in world football was brought in with fresh ideas and a new outlook, but that didn’t work either, so now they’re with Klopp, who again is the world’s best manager, motivator and all-round top guy, and that’ll last until the next poor sod takes the job and he’s put on a pedestal.”
Sums it up perfectly.
Rafa wasn’t the answer seven years ago and most certainly isn’t now. Who is, I have no idea? It will take more than a managerial change to bring Liverpool back to the glory days of yesteryear.

There was an interesting article a couple of years ago, "the **** of the Liverpool manager". They're a weird bunch.
if we are doing non RAWK stuff, this is an absolute Worldie (albeit that's it's quite old too)
edit: - so old it's from around times when they winning the occasional Cup,

I'm even moved to add the obvious disclaimer - that we do have to remember that they are not all like that.

Are they all pining for Rafa at RAWK yet seeing as Newcastle are too of the Championship?
Rememeber guys, Rafa would have won everything if it wasnt for the corrupted FA and Fergie.

RAWK still believes they're level with us.
You're not.

That's the second time someone's used one of my posts on football 365.
Who was the bloke that thought he was a professional manager with his triangle diagrams?
Unfortunately its out of season for PhaseofPlay. He'll already have left in a huff for the season after his deep, philosophical musings on football strategy have come up against the hard wall of reality and led to his loyal followers turning on him. Their ingratitude for his genius will go unforgiven. Until next season.
When I pointed out the fact that LFC had no winners in the team at the start of rhe season on here the resident scousers reminded me that Milner had won the league and Can had won the champions league... im pissing myself now as much as I was then
Can has won the champions league?
Can was in leverkusen was he not?
Spent the last 24 hours nosying at their FSG thread, they really are in a civil war.
Caught between desperately wanting to join us at the high table once more, buying players like Pogba, but not wanting to admit it.
"United have grown organically, why cant we?" for example.
Well guys:-

Well guys:-
- Explosion growth is like the last bus, once you miss it, you get that sinking feeling inside. You know it will never happen again. Your mates gone home with a fit bird and you are walking 5 miles home.
- You're 20 years too late (if not 25), At this moment in time we are STILL growing faster than them. That "explosion" growth is no longer available to you.
- As much as you may mock some of our expensive misses (Falcao AdM etc) you realise that means regardless of "on the pitch" - we are still seen as a "super club", Zlatan, for example, wouldnt have gone to the dippers.
- FSG put FSG first, the "only" way Liverpool can get back to the top table is by rolling the dice financially, even then any progress is quickly erased by bigger clubs cherry picking your best talent, like a bigger version of Southampton,if you like.
I think so. It was either that or the one about each footballer bringing an animal along with them.The ''Señor Fix Resulag'' classic ??

Looks like they've quietly and unceremoniously closed their Zlatan thread, because they can't be having any of that praising a United player lark.
A few of them are back to deluding themselves that it will all change this summer when Klopp spends a fortune because apparently one theory is that he has been "saving the transfer kitty cash" for the end of this season 
Yeah been following him for a few years now. He's hilarious.
Well worth a follow, especially after a Liverpool defeat. Some of the stuff he comes out with...
What thread are you looking in? Might have a look over there, could do with some entertainment.A few of them are back to deluding themselves that it will all change this summer when Klopp spends a fortune because apparently one theory is that he has been "saving the transfer kitty cash" for the end of this season
