Liverpool FC: A Tale of Heroes, Villains and Football's Fickle Nature
Unmasking The Heroes and Villains in Football's Narrative
In Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight the facially compromised Harvey Dent says, “you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” The context was a discussion about how the Romans would suspend democracy during times...
It’s another win for Jürgen Klopp’s seemingly unstoppable behemoth. Despite Mohamed Salah only fit enough to start from the bench, Liverpool managed to secure another three points, taking their total to 37 points, from a possible 39.
The old adage about winning when not playing well has certainly seemed relevant to Liverpool since the start...
Over the past decade, the Liverpool country has faced so many false and painful dawns. Cultured Hodgson, the European tourist, settling on Merseyside to push us above the British tropes of non-football. The King's stabilising touch, pulling reveries from past decades to raise the dream of Cup wins upon Cup wins. Rodgers' reckless abandon...
See!
And there’s you – YOU! – slagging off Roy Hodgson! Roy Hodgson, for God’s sake! The very pinnacle of the establishment. The embodiment of the English game. Dignity personified. How dare you —YOU of all people — have the infernal GALL to do so much as raise your voice in criticism against this much-loved...
With Jürgen Klopp's confident Liverpool side coming up against Crystal Palace in their first Monday night fixture of the new season, they also come face-to-face with perhaps one of the worst previous managers the club has seen in modern times.
So bad was Hodgson’s six-month spell in charge that most have almost eradicated it from...

October 2010, Fenway Sports Group purchase Liverpool Football Club for £300 million, after the club was perilously teetering above the jaws of administration.
Nearly eight years later, mistakes have been made, Liverpool did...
Liverpool managed to overcome a first-half deficit against bogey team Crystal Palace to take the three points at Selhurst Park after goals from Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah turned the tie on its head.
Here are the observations from the match.
Why Always Me?
If Liverpool were going to find a winner against Palace in the dying...
Liverpool's meek 4th round exit at the hands of The Baggies was as devastating a result as we've had in the Klopp era. Worse than the Europa League final loss to Sevilla? At least at that point, one could argue Klopp wasn't really coaching his own players. Watching Simon Mignolet pick ball after ball...
One thing that identifies Liverpool supporters and possibly sets us apart from others is the sheer range of emotions when it comes to following the club. For example, you’ll often hear talk of us ‘being by far the greatest team the world has ever seen’ even when we languish in 7th place with a solitary...
Jordan Henderson. League Cup Winner 2012, Europa League Runner Up 2016, Audi Cup Runner Up 2017 & Serial Young Player of the Year Award Winner. His honours list reads like a small pack of Revels.
