Lol love how when I was considering what jersey to get all those years ago because finally it felt like things were different at Liverpool, and I was SO afraid of getting Mo's jersey. I felt like I'd jinx things and he'd leave quickly if I did or even if he didn't, he was bound to leave soon because I was so used to how bad Liverpool was and couldn't see why any genius-level players would want to stick around unless they had a personal connection to the club and maybe not even then. Because that's how bad it was before Klopp.

But then I got it and that "one season wonder" stuck around for nearly a decade and just signed a contract extension while the kid I thought would be the safest bet, the one whom I picked when I couldn't decide which player on the squad to get on the back of my jersey because I loved them all because 1. he's my son, 2. he's a local lad through and through and this is his hometown, so of course he'd stay, and 3. he's going to be future captain one day and I'll look at my jersey with fondness because it'd make me think of his entire career, is the one who's leaving. Joke's on me. I should have known better.

Lol. Lmao even. 🤡

#the way I see jerseys is I want one that holds a lot of symbolism to me so it has to be the right season and the right player #and it also has to look decent. sorry but i can't deal with fug if i'm paying out of my nose for this #(thank god i fit in kid sizes lol. so much cheaper that way especially if you decide to play with fire #and wait until the end of the season for the steep discount when the new kits are about to drop or just dropped)#so uh....haha I never got one until the Klopp era though that was partially because #i waffled like crazy on whose jersey i wanted back in the day and settled on stevie carra and dagger #after fernando left (THIS IS THE SOURCE OF MY TRAUMA AND 50% OF THE REASON FOR MY JERSEY PURCHASE HESITATION BTW LMAO #i was going to get his jersey and he left in THE worst dramatic way possible and i was so upset that everyone online #in the football community and a classmate of mine irl saw me spiral)#and then it just never happened and we were in our 'if you remember this you're entitled to a veteran's discount' era #not particularly an era i want to remember through a jersey #okay this is a post made partially in jest but as with all things in sports #when it comes to jinxes and superstitions i'm partially serious ladjlkjfdasj #i am SO wary of getting jerseys because i'm half afraid it'll be a curse #so sometimes i wait too long and it drives me nuts because i have white whale jerseys now #because of that for players who are no longer around (retired or were forced to leave against their will due to circumstances)
