MYSELF and John Gibbons went to the EFL Trophy game between Liverpool U21s and Wigan Athletic’s first team at the DW Stadium on Tuesday evening. It was my first experience of football inside a stadium since The Reds’ Champions League loss to Atletico Madrid just...
AND just like that, normality is restored. Liverpool, while still picking up points since last season was prematurely halted, have been a club with a lot of questions being asked of them. Have they peaked now that they’ve reached the summit? Do they need to add...
SO it’s happening then. I’ve spent most of the morning like Michael Scott in The Office US, pacing round my house telling myself to “stay fucking calm”. After spending what has felt like the best part of eight years, though it has actually been the shortest...
WELL. That was a pretty short summer, wasn’t it? Can you even call it a summer? I mean, the weather didn’t really put much effort in while there was no football for us to consume. And as far as some sections of Liverpool’s support are concerned, that lack of effort...
WE are Liverpool. This means more. A glorified marketing slogan used by opposition fans as a stick to beat us with? Maybe. It would be a bit pretentious of us to pretend that what we’ve got going on is more important than at other clubs, after all. You only have to...
ALL goalies are crazy. That’s what we’ve always been told; reading the books by Rob Childs as a kid, growing up with curtain-sporting keepers wearing tops that looked like that mad rug in your nan’s. Perhaps that’s why a large number of football fans are prepared to...
CAN you say the past few weeks have been a rollercoaster? I mean, things started off slow with the Merseyside Derby and I was genuinely worried for at least a moment that we may just watch The Reds slowly stumble over the line towards a first title in 30 years, all...
I FEEL as though I’ve written this piece before. Last time, though, it was about Alberto Moreno and how he was a player that could be flawless for a whole season, but the minute he made a mistake he’d be vilified. You’d be well within your rights to say Moreno wasn’t...
FIRST things first: Happy Birthday, Mo Salah. I can imagine all the lads led by his bezzie Degsy Lovren and the manager gathered round at a social distance singing a song for our Egyptian King today. I can imagine his beaming smile and the shy hands-in-the-sleeves...
‘THESE are unprecedented times.’ Perhaps the most overused phrase during this global pandemic, but it definitely holds merit when it comes to the position Liverpool Football Club are in. At least in my lifetime. The Liverpool teams I’ve known have mostly been nearly...
With the Friday being pencilled in for the arrival of Florian Wirtz we look at what difference the German international might make to Liverpool and scrutinise, from a financial point of view, how Liverpool convinced Wirtz to choose the Reds of Manchester City and Bayern Munich, and with Milos Kerkez reportedly being next to arrive, what that might mean for Andy Robertson, who has been linked with a move to Spain.]
Rob Gutmann hosts and is joined by Ian Ryan, Beth Lindop and Neil Atkinson.
Also in the show, John Gibbons chats to Ian Byrne and Ian Prowse about ‘A Celebration Of Zoe’s Place’ a concert which is being held in aid of the charity featuring a host of brilliant artists and hosted by Adam Rowe and Leanne Campbell, the event is on the 17th July and tickets are available now at https://www.mandsbankarena.com/whats-on/a-celebration-of-zoe-s-place/
