Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Liverpool thread

[absolute bobbins]

Super Serious here chaps... you must check this out, the epitome of deluded scouse Liverpool fan, living in the past, hatred of Thatcher, anything to do with London and the English!

Just after Ade's goal

Jammy Twats

And at the final whistle!

My hatred for London grows everyday

The feeling is mutual!

Have a look for yourself here!

Rodgers may have a philosophy but it's becoming more apparent that Swansea played the way they did last season under him because it's what they've done for the two managers before his nibs arrived there and continue to do after his departure.

I've no doubt he wants to be a mini-Barca but I'm not convinced he can actually build one himself. He had all the ingredients at Swansea. Now at Pool he's having to buy his own and coming up with the likes of Sturridge and Borini. Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

His philosophy complimented Swansea brilliantly. They were a great match.

I kind of agree with you but I think we'll have to wait till next year to judge him. Borini and Allen have been poor acquisitions, but Coutinho and Sturridge look like decent business, they certainly would have strengthened our squad anyway. The new owners have backed their managers so far and will no doubt continue to do so in the summer. I guess Rodgers success at Liverpool will rest upon whether his summer business continues in the Coutinho & Sturridge vain (good young players at a decent price), or reverts to the Allen and Borini typecast, which seemed to be more typical Liverpool business (average players for inflated fees).

I for one hope he falls flat on his chubby, Brentish, face, the cheesy fucker.

Coutinho is a great pick up for them. Allen - not so much. I like him as a player but is he that central cog you look for in a team? Maybe he will be, he is still rather young after all. He's also not eye-catching but many many very good players have been overlooked for that reason, even thought they are vital to their team's successes. He isn't that either.

The Sturridge one baffles me tbh. Quick player, decent finisher. Don't think he's intelligent enough though. Not if Rodgers is going for a mini-Barca ticky tacky style in the long term.

I won't judge Rodgers yet but as I say, I have no doubting he has a philosophy. This is his test though really isn't it? Having a philosophy is the easy part. Being able to impliment it and build a squad that allows him to realise his vision is the tricky bit and it's where 90% of managers fall down ultimately. He hasn't actually done that before and why I'm glad we didn't end up with him in hindsight. We've had our fair share of dreamers already.

I try not to live in the past, love London and I'm proud to call England my home, however a line has to be drawn, so with regards to Mrs T the day can't come soon enough.

Given that it was her government who wanted the City of Liverpool to be subject to a 'Managed decline' I can't really blame them if they did hate her, nor her belligerent Press Secretary, Sir Bernard Ingham, who blamed their "Tanked-up mob" for causing the Hillsborough disaster.

Scouse not English?

Dear galant scouse not English club,

We take your strong and noble views on not being English very seriously and would hate to make your lives even more miserable by making your majestic team play any further matches in the English Premier League and therefore invite you to leave and take your trade to the SPL (that's the scouse premier league) where you will no doubt reign supreme for years to come. Well, until Everton join you at least.

Many thanks,

The FA.

But it's interesting how much more entertaining they are under Laudrup. The previous endless pretty triangles have limited fun factors.

I think your post pretty much sums up the crux of it: Rodgers seems to have managed to somehow get all the credit for developing the Swansea (poor Roberto Martinez!), even though he didn't. So now he has this massive job at Liverpool - is there any actual substance to his talk of philosophy or is it all just noise? I think it's probably a bad sign for them that he keeps buying previous players to make his system work.

Although I should admit that I am entirely unable to be rational where Rodgers is concerned. He makes my skin crawl in a 'my spidey senses are tingling' type way. Creepy, sinister little man.

 

[dirtyh]

they won the lottery beating us, simply because we had a brain fart or two. normal service resumed today, mid table fare from the mickeys because that's what they are, mid-table. long may their delusions continue, when suarez leaves and gerrard retires, they're well and truly in the shit.

reina/jones - both shit
agger - shit
skrtel - worse than shit
enrique - half-decent but shit more often than not these days
johnson - over-rated and inconsistent
lucas - massively over-rated. sandro and dembele in a different league.
allen - above average shit
downing - shit
gerrard - fading rapidly
coutinho - unknown quantity so far.
suarez - a complete **** but quality
sturridge - reverting to type. there's a reason no-one else wanted him.

top 4? don't make me fucking laugh, a million miles away. shoe-in for champions next season though, deluded fucks.

Indeed. Ticky Tacka wore off with me yrs ago. Take Messi out of Barca and you're left wiht Spain basically and, yeah yeah I'll get some flack for this, but Spain largely bore me to tears. Barca are fantastic to watch because they have an all-time attacking legend up front. They always look dangerous.

Spain on the other hand...Yes yes, nice pass. Oh another nice pass. Backwards pass. Quick one two on the edge of your own area eh? Luvvly. Oooh look, pass pass pass. 45 fucking minutes of that.

GET OUT OF MY BRAIN.

I'd much rather have the slightly out-of-control chest-pounding excitement of the German national team than the turgid brilliance of Spain. No regrets!

 

[only1waddle]

i think Sturridge will be another player that infuriates his team mates at times, Coutinho has the skill but is somewhat lightweight at the moment and Allen has a picture of Carrick pinned above his bed and kisses it every night, never gonna happen Joe, Rodgers philosophy was not evident apart from their opening goal, at some point teams will start sitting back against them like they do with us..
Glad AVB has temporarily? ditched his Porto system and is playing to his strength, working out the opposition and setting up to counter them, Rodgers seems to think his one style of football will kill all before them, not in the EPL it wont mate, fucking charlatan..

I agree with this, as much as i loved Luka and would have him back, what we lack in creative genius we have gained a rugged quality in Dembele defensively, his allround game is better i think, this post has gone a bit Brokeback mountain..

 

[Riandor]

I still say we should leave the laughing at anyone until the season has finished (and even then) and we have proven that we can get top 4 and not bottle it again.

Until then...

Hahaha. Yep. Carrick is the kind of player that people like to think of when they wax lyrical about the Welsh Xavi.

Carrick, when he came to us at 25 anyway, was a much much better player. Not even close, imo. Allen is younger so there is time but yeah, I don't see it. He's certainly not a bad player.

Spain in Euro 2012 were horrible, I agree. Wenger said (bear with me) that they had taken what began as a positive footballing philosophy and turned into something negative. I have to agree with him there. Although, for me, World Cup winning Spain were a breath of fresh air, they were fearless and 'swashbuckling' in their passing play, I guess back then no-one expected anything of them, but now they're universally recognized as the team to beat. I think they've had a difficult time adjusting to the tag of favourites and their style of football has suffered as a consequence.

Just a point of order but we did get top 4 last season. We bottled ourselves into 4th place. Understand your general point but eh, fuck Pool. I don't care anymore. Spurs will be mocked whatever happens by some. They have been for my entire life. They can suck my dick in the meantime.

Carrick pushed on even more under old red nose, he controls that midfield at times, i can't see Allen ever doing that at Liverpool..

Nice post. I certainly don't remember feeling this way when they first burst onto the scene. What you say makes a good deal of sense (go KoO, it's your burfday).

Such a shame we lost him after only two seasons. He was one who kind of flew under the radar a little bit while Keane and Berba got all the headlines. But any Spurs fan who knew their football recognized that he was possibly the best talent out of them all. Wonderful player and very much in the 'born to play for Spurs mould'.

Caf:

Like clockwork, and the second-most accurate measure of time after the Scouse Boom-Bust Cycle, the decline of a new Liverpool signing from world-class/best-in-the-league/superstar-in-the-making to downright mediocrity has again been proved correct.

This year alone has seen Joe Allen, Fabio Borini and Daniel Sturridge struck down by the curse. We're only waiting on Coutinho now to fill the deck, and his demise isn't far off, judging on today. But, when you have posts like this on RAWK, they certainly don't help themselves:
