Liverpool Football Club Proudly Announces New Club Crest

[TheDrowningMan]

 

12th February 2012

 

Liverpool Football Club is delighted to announce the introduction of a new club crest effective the start of the 2012-13 season. To celebrate our record breaking deal with Warrior Sports, it was seen as natural for us to begin this new era with a new badge depicting six of our greatest managers, each of whom has added something magical, something intangible to the very diverse pot that is Liverpool Football Club.

 

Entitled "Success Has Many Fathers", the legends it depicts are:

 

Bill Shankly - The architect of our success, the father of the modern day Liverpool FC.

 

Bob Paisley - Faced with the impossible task of succeeding Shanks, Bob combined great dignity with success that surpassed even Bill's. He also handed a jersey to Howard Gayle, the first black player to represent Liverpool Football Club.

 

Joe Fagan - In his brief tenure, Joe landed three trophies, with the league title and European Cup among them.

 

Kenny Dalglish - Our greatest ever player became a manager whose team took pass and move football to perhaps its greatest heights. Dalglish's first spell was also notable for bringing in John Barnes, the club's first black signing.

 

Rafa Benitez - His first season at the club saw the European Cup return to Anfield for the first time in 21 years.

 

Roy Hodgson - The man whose dignity and conciliatory nature set the tone for a new era at Liverpool Football Club, ushered in by the arrival of Fenway Sports Group and the hope of a brighter future. While Roy was unable to turn his astonishing off-field success into Premiership points, his gentlemanly conduct set the course for the club's future direction, and for that reason alone, he more than earns his place as the most recent of Liverpool's great torch holders.

 

Managing Director Ian Ayre says "This is a landmark day for the club. Following the introduction of Warrior Sports as our new kit provider, we all thought that it was time to do something special and this new crest, this clarion call - a glance at the past while keeping our eyes firmly fixed on the future - is most certainly that. We're thrilled that our rich and very diverse history can be given a tribute in this way; The Liverpool Way".

I don't understand why you have posted this.

 

It doesn't work on any level, be it ironic, humourous, accurate, truthful, insightful, inspiring, or satirical.

What!!!???

[Guest ShoePiss]

Yeah I honestly don't get this one.

[Magic Sponge]

That's shit. If it's a joke it's shit. If its real then it's shit. Basically it's shit.

[Rushies tash]

I was expecting a crudely cobbled together gif of a liver bird being bummed by a little red goblin, satan or imp or whatever the fuck it is.

It's nothing so much as an expression of contempt. I'm filled with pure, undistilled disgust at the path the club has taken, I'm shocked and astonished that Kenny has allowed himself to be portrayed as a ridiculous little weakling, that no one has thought at any point that it might be a good idea to offer calm, rational counterpoints to the media onslaught.

 

We have become Liverpool Football Club as imagined by Roy Hodgson. It's an abject display, and if this is an abject thread then good, it deserves it, because I feel pretty abject at the moment. A sad, sad end to whatever dignity the club had left.

This just about sums it up. One of the worst threads ever.

[derykw]

The Club has been battered from pillar to post from the world and his wife, it doesn`t need it`s own supporters joining in.

What a load of hysterical bollocks.

[Scousa Tomo]

I think a snail sitting on a flaccid penis would make a much more appropriate crest.

[chauncey]

Sense of humour failure in this thread - and I'm not talking about the OP.

[Guest ShoePiss]

All this thread needs is what will my mates who support the chavs, mancs and arsenal think?

 

Just fuck off.

Haha I don't think it was borne out of humour though!

We have become threadmakers as imagined by Roy Hodgson. It's an abject display, and if this is an abject thread then good, it deserves t, because I feel pretty abject at the moment. A sad, sad end to whatever dignity the poster had left.

I had my dog Kenny's balls cut off this week mate. He's 7 years old now, is it still possible I'll see a behavior change in him? He's a bit of a humper. He's a JRT if you remember...

[Major Tom]

Isn't it about time TheDrowningMan actually drowned?

[TheDrowningMan]

Haha I don't think it was borne out of humour though!

 

I'm mildly disappointed that Roy being given three times as much space as any of the others and the repeated references to diversity didn't raise the merest hint of a smile on anyone's face, but I'll learn from this experience and adjust my conduct accordingly.

 

I recognise that this thread's creation is not behaviour befitting a member of the Liverpool Way forum, and my attempt to fuse fury and humour was so spectacularly misjudged. I apologise for that.

Don't let it worry you mate, you just have to dust yourself down and try again, even the biggest in entertainment experience the gag that drops like a lead balloon.

 

I think you're just ahead of your time.

I think it's a nice hot bath and sleeping pills for me.
