Ynwa is an actual name - the feminine of Yngwie (as in Malmsteen). It means 'sparkly'.

On the other hand, the Welsh word 'Ynwa' means 'b*m hole'.

None of the above is true.

Sparkly Malmsteen. That makes him sound so much less cool

YNWA (pronounced Yun-wah) - sounds like the local Chinese takeaway - as in "I'm just going down to Yun Wah to get some Dim Sum."

You'll Never Wok Alone?

With the emphasis on the dim...

lol

Kid absolutely reeks of Freddy Adu.

They're seething on social media though. Apprently he should've turned down 80k a week at the best club in the world to sign for them.

5 of Madrid's European Cups don't count either. Never, ever forget that. They're total frauds. Total.

Will be online addresses. Bet most clubs have a similar reach tbh. Like not many Newcastle fans living in Newcastle would buy their shirt online would they?

From the Daily Mail article it's based on sales in Sports Direct stores, which would skew the results as presumably kopites would go to their own shop rather than Sports Direct to get the shirt.

Here's Newcastle for comparison, again skewed given their owner also owns Sports Direct so their club store probably is affiliated with them.

Gnashers. He's always trying to reveal how clever he is. Funny, I dont remember him holding his hand up before Christmas telling everyone how his formations were pathetic.

Dithering Dougie · January 24, 2015

Have they relayed the pitch other something since Christmas?

That was the real problem wasn't it?

At least he found a working formation.

He had it last season. They played a diamond lots of times.

It's just Gnashers trying to use any excuse to call attention to his own 'genius'. He tries to mask that by using the lame 'we' when crowing about it though - as in 'we played a 433 then we played a diamond'....but we all know he means 'me'.

Sidesteps responsibility for failure; claims the glory of victory.

Ha Ha. Even the Kopites know what he is. From the responses to that Echo piece:

"As quick as Rodgers is to take credit for the recent revival, changes forced upon him by injuries to players he 'trusted' - Lovren, Johnson, Allen - he must also take responsibility for his stubbornness in not changing a system, which was obviously not working, a whole lot earlier.
Hopefully, after stumbling on a solution, Rodgers will continue with it even with the availability of his trusted lieutenants."

"So, is Brendan Rodgers trying to convince us that we didn't play with a 1-2 midfield or a diamond (1-2-1) midfield with Lucas as the 1 (or the most withdrawn 1) and to great effect? Does he think LFC supporters have such poor memories? Or does HE have such a poor memory? Also, how does he explain his choice to leave Lucas on the bench or even off the matchday squad when we didn't have Sturridge available after he got injured? I don't mind, in the end, if he actually finally makes the right decisions, keeps making them and the club is performing well and producing results. It's the revisionist history and the undue 'tooting his own horn' and his tactical acumen that bothers me."
