Andoni Iraola’s Background Shows Why He Fits Liverpool

From Athletic Bilbao to Rayo Vallecano, Iraola's journey has been shaped by clubs that represent more than football...   Even though I’m far from being an Andoni Iraola expert, there are things I like about him already. I like that he's from the Basque region of...

Andoni Iraola Announced

Andoni Iraola is in. Is he as close as you can get to a sure thing? Nope. That chap is in Paris. Does he have the track record of elite excellence, of lifting trophies? Not at all. Oliver Glasner remains out of work. Is this a risk? Absolutely. It's a big leap. It's...

Inside The Transfer Committee

You will have noticed we are playing our transfer committee games at the moment. They were a great idea by John Furlong all those years ago. There is no end to the ways I enjoy them. Firstly, they have a bit of a reality television vibe where you get to see these...

The Pub Crawlers Podcast: Nottingham (S1E3)

The third episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded in Nottingham, as Rob Gutmann hosts Steve Graves and Martin Fitzgerald to discuss the local pub scene, Indian restaurants, students, and more…

The Pub Crawlers Podcast represents a quest to find the very best authentic UK pubs, filmed on location inside some of the finest boozers across the UK and Ireland.

Well, sort of. It’s equally about friends having three to four pint-fuelled, quintessential pub conversations, on any subjects that damn well occur to them, in a range of outstanding boozers across the land. So, really, it’s as much about what we get up to in pubs as the pubs themselves.

The shows are presented by self-styled boozer connoisseur and long-time pub designer and owner, Rob Gutmann, who is on a mission to find the very best pubs in the UK and to define the essence of the ‘true’ pub.

Featuring a wide range of guests (mainly Rob’s mates), we’ll be visiting pubs the length and breadth of the country, bedding into the very best of them, and chatting about our lives lived in and around boozers.

The first season of the Pub Crawlers focuses on the North of England, taking in Chester, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, and even a brief foray to the north side of the Midlands in Nottingham.

Plug yourself in to the ongoing conversation as it disappears down all manner of tenuously pub-related worm holes, with your new mates at TPC. And you don’t need a pint to enjoy us, but it might help…
