WHAT a start to the festive period it’s been for The Reds. If somebody said Liverpool would be two weeks into December having won four games – including a Merseyside derby – sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League, and qualifying for the Champions...
MADDEST team ever, them. Was like their manager made them all lash a load of Red Bull down their necks before the game started, watched them all run on fast forward for the first 45. They only have a few players with genuine quality but I’m sure they snuck a few...
“IN the current climate.” “The market rate.” “Inflated prices.” You might associate the following phrases with the beginnings of a political rant, but they’re in fact all increasingly common phrases used when referring to the modern day football transfer market. They...
“WHY don’t you talk about FSG?” It’s a question we were forced to consider over and over again at The Anfield Wrap once upon a time. Jürgen Klopp was Liverpool manager, Anfield’s Main Stand had been successfully expanded, but there was a belief that the owners weren’t...
SO rare we come away from Anfield feeling like we’ve lost. A feeling I definitely felt tonight and would not like to feel again where possible. Alisson: 6 Didn’t have anything to do considering they showed very little interest in playing football after the...
ANOTHER Saturday 3pm, another crucial late away win for Liverpool. As Jürgen Klopp said in his post-match press conference at Selhurst Park, the performance in this game was not as important as the result giving the context of the international break just gone. The...
LIVERPOOL started slowly. Get used to that sentence. Liverpool started slowly but had almost complete control of the tempo, with an apparent desire to stop things going mad in order to preserve energy for the many challenges to come over the Christmas period. There...
JUST prior to England’s 4-0 win over Kosovo on Sunday, our own Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain took centre stage. Chamberlain’s international career began seven and a half years ago, in a 1-0 win over Norway – incidentally Roy Hodgson’s first game as England manager. He...
“LET’S start a new way. This is the perfect moment. “I don’t know everything but I am a good listener. I will go to Melwood and see what works and what doesn’t.” Roughly four years and one month ago, Jürgen Klopp sat down for his first press conference as Liverpool...
WHETHER we like it or not, modern football and social media go hand in hand. From footballers using it to celebrate or commiserate, and thank the fans for their support either way – even if you’re Granit Xhaka – to the official Premier League’s Twitter...
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…
