MEMORIES are such a strange concept. I saw a meme recently which pointed out that sometimes your brain can remember that it’s forgotten something, but can’t actually remember what that thing was. It makes you think, doesn’t it? There are millions of moments throughout...
IT was like Christmas Day morning… Well, Christmas Day morning if it had been postponed for two months. And it wasn’t the real Father Crimbo, just some random old fella with a beer belly and some grey stubble. And instead of the latest games console with all the best...
SO the time has come. Well, sort of at least. Football is set to make its grand return this weekend as the Bundesliga gets back underway, just this time without a single fan in attendance, as we all watch on from our respective ‘isolation stations’ with baited breath....
I’VE loved writing for The Anfield Wrap while in lockdown. I love it at the best of times, but it has given me a release during these times which has been so welcome. The chance to revisit every facet of what made me fall in love with football. It has given us a...
AGAINST modern football? Not really mate, no. However, there are a long list of things about the coverage football gets now that has become tiresome over time. Much of that list has become a problem off the back of the introduction of social media and the fact...
MUCH wants more. That statement pretty much sums up my football-supporting life. After my first live game at Anfield I wanted to go to every Liverpool home game. After my first away I wondered whether it would be possible to do all 38 league games. Once you witness...
SO my last few columns may have come across a bit contradictory. In my game of 2015-16 piece on the Villarreal win, I talked about people who say they’d happily go back and relive games that were excruciating at times before a huge pay off, and how I’d much rather...
LET me start this week’s column by declaring my conflict of interest… I love Jordan Henderson. I love seeing his name on the teamsheet. I love it when he does something good in a game. I love it when he leads Liverpool to victory and celebrates like it’s the last...
THERE are certain games I wish I could just relive every single second of. Some people will tell you they’d happily relive every kick of nights like Istanbul or Madrid all over again, but I think those people are liars. They’re liars because those games took years off...
YOU almost feel daft for worrying about football at a time like this. Bill Shankly joked that it was more important than life and death, but Jürgen Klopp summed it up best recently by describing it as “the most important of the least important things”. It is such a...
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/
