Alternative RAWK zone

[HypnoticBlue]

Sorry to ruin it for everyone, and I admire your contributions, but they are nought compared to the real thing. The following extract is lifted from the pre-match spiel on RAWK last night. Honestly it really is! I know you will think it's satire but it genuinely isn't.

"
“More” than Words"

On the surface, Barcelona and Liverpool have a great deal in common.

Both clubs and cities consider themselves different from the larger colonialized culture in which they inhabit. The phrase “we are not English, we are Scouse” could be just as easily replaced with the idea of not being Spanish, but Catalan.

Secondly, the passion for each club in their cultures, cities, and local areas drives the economy and social strata. Each market their brands as being more than a club or this means more. To some extent, these are just words used to indoctrinate. But, when you have lived in these cities, been in the choir singing the gospel of King Kenny or witnessing miracles by the savior Lionel Messi, all while praying to the bluegrauna/red and white kop soccer gods, it is hard to argue with "more". It does mean more and both of these two giants are more than clubs. "

The Red Empire and the Spion Kop Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.
Even though smaller clubs of Europe and many old and famous teams have fallen or may fall into the grip of Barcelona and all the odious apparatus of Catalan rule, we shall not flag or fail.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in the fountains,
we shall fight on the Stanley Park and Anfield Road,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our team, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight them on the beaches,
we shall fight the Spanish hotel workers,
we shall fight in the strawberry fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this City or a large part of it were subjugated and starving (oh it is), then our fans beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Scandinavian Supporters Clubs Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”

My missus met Nancy Sinatra on holiday & she said how Frank made a secret trip to Anfield in the early 60s & was so impressed by how special it was, he went straight out & recorded 'You'll Never Walk Alone' & she also said Elvis had told her he did exactly the same.

More than more than a club.
