Liverpool lose again & the 'fool' that bought Nick Woltemade?
YouTube video by Tifo Podcast Liverpool lose again & the 'fool' that bought Nick Woltemade?

Not watched the most recent Tifo Podcast (@tifofootball.bsky.social) yet, but given the detour of the last two into historiography – cyclicality & helicality (www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJvO...), Great Man Theory (youtu.be/SGtGYJXhfq8?...) – I'm looking forward to a discussion of lieux de mémoire
