Liverpool Football Club Proudly Announces New Club Crest

[Strontium]

I think the issue is that it was wry when what is needed in a situation like this is humour that is a little more visceral and immediate.

An imp entwined with a Liverbird, then?

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.

An excellent summary.

See, now you're getting it!

Great, it wasn't so bad.

Given that you initially read it as being completely straight, I'm not sure coming back for more is the best idea.

Read a bit more into it mate, they're both fucked up as well..................

Was Roy Hodgson manger of liverpool? fucking hell.

[Redder Lurtz]

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.

 

Look at the state of you. Get a grip you big fairy.

Woah, there really are some thick people on here. If you don't get this joke you're one of them.

[TheDrowningMan]

Trying (and failing) to inject a bit of levity + playing on my own overreaction elsewhere = the worst combination imaginable. I get it!

[Dan]

This is the roy hodgson of threads.A big fail from start to end

[piscinin]

All DrowningMan's posts are great because they remind me of the greatest song based on the greatest fantasy novel EVER.

Don't do it BTW. That whole drowning at ease and all that is bullshit. It's fucking horrible.

The club is just about to go down the toilet PR wise and Ayre is sorting out some flag. Glad he got his priorities right....................

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".

do you not remember souness, evans/houlier, houlier??? as for joe's "brief" tenure..the man was at anfield longer than shanks..

[TheDrowningMan]

Fucking hell.

[MokTheAfflicted]

WTF ???? :dunno:

[gkmacca]

You had me at 'crest'. Had me scratching my head. Why not call it a 'flag,' which is what it is? You need to root comedy in reality. That's your starting point. Or at least root it in a word that makes sense.
