THE footy being taken away from us has been cause for a lot of contemplation. Firstly, from a working point of view, what do we write about when there’s no games to talk about? Secondly, it makes you think about the football. Assess the impact it has had on your life,...
WHAT does the word ‘conspiracy’ mean to you? There was a time in my life where conspiracies usually involved getting lost down some kind of YouTube rabbit hole before realising hours had elapsed and the sun was not far from rising. You’ll probably all have a...
THERE are a plethora of reasons this Liverpool side deserves the utmost praise. There’s the obvious fact that they’re breaking records left, right and centre which will of course get the ‘stat men’ talking, but there’s a reason they’re able to do that. The praise can...
TRANSFERS are one of the most interesting facets of the modern game. There’s so much that goes into it that we don’t get to see, but what we do know from the outside looking in is that spending big doesn’t guarantee quality – and vice versa. Bargains are rare to...
DESPERATE. The word of the day. Liverpool were desperate at times today. Jürgen Klopp made 11 changes once again in domestic cup competition, but this time he couldn’t strike the balance that he has struck so well in previous games. The young lads started the game so...
IT felt familiar, didn’t it? A late goal to confirm a crucial three points against the sworn enemy. This time, though, it was oh so different. Before Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Manchester United in October 2009, The Reds sat in eighth place while Alex Ferguson’s side...
THERE’S something about winning that really gets under people’s skin. It probably doesn’t help when the team you support does it so routinely that they make breaking records an almost weekly occurrence. And of course it’s not just breaking records, there’s proving...
TRUST noun Firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something. JÜRGEN Klopp’s first press conference is timeless. It is a masterpiece that should be framed, the quotes should adorn the walls of museums with the audio played back on a constant...
WHAT a journey we’ve been on. Sometimes you just need to stand back and take stock of how much Liverpool have advanced in the modern day, and how much coverage of the club has changed in accordance with that. Yes, we’ve gone from “Another Wasted Corner” to “Another...
APRIL 19, 2015. Probably my lowest point as a Liverpool supporter. The Reds travelled to Wembley to face Aston Villa with the chance to book their place in an FA Cup final and give Brendan Rodgers and the departing Steven Gerrard the chance to get their hands on some...
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…
