They'll be back for the young boys game(y)
 

Best Shout Out of the Day> Stood watching the end of the game through the window of a pub in city centre. 3rd Hull goal goes in and naturally, as you do, I celebrated. Got the 2 fingers and a mouthful of (I don't know what) from some old bird in the pub!! And they call us bitter!! YAWN.

I did the same thing when Southampton scored at analfield outside Hannah's Bar on Hardman St - Priceless !! They went ape**** !!

"**** off Liverpool. Just **** off.

You know what? I ****ing switched off at about 75 mins. Might make me a "bad fan" but I don't ****ing care. Had enough of performances like this.

So ****ing predictable as well.

Disgrace."

was it a bad day then........
 
Heading onto Rawk at the moment is like imbibing a very fine wine. Dedicate, full of body, to be savoured.
I think some of them are actually brain damaged, I read on there we have 10 players in our first team squad that are well over 30, and that's why we're racing towards a cliff edge.

He's 30 this summer, so they sold him before his value bottomed out. In moneyball terms, it was the smart thing to do (particularly since the club had over paid for him in the first place). Had he been a 5-10 million buy, they might have kept him, but a £20m buy that would never get near recouping that? Selling him was the smart business thing to do, keeping him at the club for the one or two games a year where his presence might elevate through sheer mediocrity is a real luxury the club can't afford.


Again, I a stress it a lot, if you want to see why Everton are speeding toward the cliff edge, its because they have been holding onto players for too long. So as their asset has devalued they have been forced to sell young up and coming players to offset these losses, starting a downward spiral as fewer and fewer younger players come through to replace older and older players. Currently Everton have 10 players well over 30 in their first team squad, Liverpool have 3. Everton are an accident waiting to happen, Liverpool a young side needing time and playing experience (a la Arsenal).

I love them. If we wish ourselves to be sound then you couldn't ask for better rivals to be compared to.

By default we seem almost God like.
 
Which player is he talking about in the first paragraph?

Heaven alone knows - Arteta? In any event if the thick Kopite (sorry about the tautology) knew anything about business then footballers get sold for any number of reasons and their transfer cost, whatever it might be, is offset in the course of the life of the contract as an allowance expense - the total income is (usually) profitable whatever the amount realised as the player's value has amortised considerably in the 4-5 years of their staying at the club.

I think I'm starting to 'get' RAWK now. You don't have to post anything truthful, or anything insightful. You just have to make up some stuff that is approved by the rest of the brain dead morons and you are accepted.

Speeding towards a cliff edge when we've replaced Hibbert with Coleman, Neville with McCarthy, Osman with Miralles etc etc etc

osman with barkley more like and mirallas maybe with delafeou (if only for the time being).

we have experience at centre back and in goal which is how it should be and a wise old head shielding them in barry. apart from that there's only pienaar, nobody else is old or close to 30. have we even got 10 30 year olds on the playing staff?
