Creepy... can't wait to see how the other guy look like...
Given the choice of Sir Roger or his sickly little brother, almost everyone in that thread said they loved the weak Hunt.
That's the weirdest part.
Ha no, I must have OCD. I can't look at that picture without wanting to punch the screen!
Images of Brendan is one of the best things on Twitter
When even your own fans think you're a joke it's time to clear your desk.
I see Rodgers took his Rotation policy to a new level last night..
He had Martin Skrtel on Steward Duties.. Doesn't look too happy about it does he ?

We should have known.. this guy talks utter shite as early as back then..
The clue of just how much of a chancer he is, is in this article..
Liverpool boss Rodgers – who landed the midfielder from his old club Swansea – has likened Allen, 22, to the Spanish playmaker.
Rodgers may have rolled out the red carpet for the Welsh international – but he was in danger of pulling it from under his feet by comparing him to the Nou Camp superstar.
Xavi has made more than 600 appearances for Barcelona, winning six La Liga titles and three Champions League winners’ medals, as well as being capped 119 times for his country and starring in Spain’s double-European Championship and World Cup-winning teams.
That leaves a lot for Allen to live up to but Rogers insisted: “I would have paid many millions more for this kid. He’s unique in that he’s a British player who is incredible on the ball.
“His body work is very intelligent and for a 22-year-old it’s frightening. He’s incredible.”
That sort of praise would make many young stars crumble but Allen has so far lived up to his top billing and has never once been daunted by the lavish praise from the boss.
Allen said: “I know how he wants to go about getting this team playing, so that was only a good thing for me and it meant that I didn’t have to change too much.
“And settling into a new club it was ideal. There was no pressure on my shoulders at all.
“It was a new situation for me but I told myself not to let the comments affect me and to just play the way I had been playing.
“It can be difficult when you join a new club and move into a new environment but this is a football club which is full of fantastic people.
“And I have been made especially welcome and that’s helped a lot.”
Liverpool’s fans have taken quickly to the midfield pass-master.
Pass and move has been an Anfield obsession since the days of Bill Shankly and Allen’s ability to keep possession has helped vindicate his manager’s words.
“I think the Liverpool supporters enjoy watching this kid play football,” Rodgers added.
“He is 5ft 6ins but in terms of being a footballer he is 7ft 6ins. He’s absolutely immense. His courage in getting on the ball, how he reads the game and his football intelligence is outstanding.
“We paid £15m for him and I said that very quickly that price would double and people probably laughed at me.
“But he will play here for many years and the supporters will love this kid.”
Rodgers also hit back at pundits who have criticised Allen for playing too conservatively.
Match of the Day analyst Alan Shearer highlighted the newly-crowned Welsh Player of the Year’s reluctance to take chances but Rodgers rapped: “I saw something criticising Joe Allen for not playing risk passes.
“Unbelievable – so-called pundits who don’t know the dynamics of a team and how it functions.
“Joe’s role is to keep the ball. And that, in Britain, is a special talent. It is why Paul Scholes is still playing to his age. It is such a rare talent for a midfielder to rarely give the ball away.
“People have talked about him and his fee but in time he will be an absolute bargain.
“He will have a long career here. He’s a wonderful talent and over time people will see what facets he’s got in his game.
“Where we have been really pleased with Joe is with his tactical discipline. Maybe he’s never going to score as many as Steven Gerrard but he’s certainly got quality going forward.
“Offensively, he has far more than what a lot of people have seen, just because he’s having to play a more sitting role at the moment.
“I have played him in there because he knows how to control the game. He is courageous and will go and get the ball in any area.
“It is his tactical discipline to stay and keep the shape of the team and offer the passing line, which has been really good though.
“Because of that we haven’t seen everything he can do going forward – but we will.”
The famous 'I would have paid more' quote. How could I forget.
On a par with dogleish's 'he's better than I thought'.
Rodgers is here for the long haul...
This is how some predict he will look in 10 years...
