I DON’T take Liverpool losing very well. Most draws involving The Reds bring me down. Getting tonked 7-2 by a side as mediocre as Aston Villa didn’t sit well. If it hadn’t been for the need to become ever more immersed in my day job and the ‘fire fighting’...
IT shouldn’t matter but it does. It shouldn’t hurt but it does. Liverpool lost their first football match of the season on Thursday night, and it didn’t feel good. First the mitigations: it was ‘only’ the League Cup. The team was full of kids and reserves. It was...
AT the time of writing, Everton are top of the league and Liverpool are playing like a team that has been the dominant force in the game for as long as anyone can remember. It’s almost as if I’m a kid that’s fallen asleep in an ’80s movie, only to awaken and...
WE’RE just a game into the new campaign and already we’ve got a season on our hands. Liverpool opened with a wild 4-3 win over Leeds in a game that provided ample ammunition for whatever opinion anyone could choose to hold about this current Liverpool team. What...
LET me be weak, let me sleep and dream of sheep,Oh I’ll wake up to any sound of engines,Every gull a seeking craft,I can’t keep my eyes open,Wish I had my radio…(‘Dream of Sleep’ – Kate Bush 1985) IF you can sleep tonight, you’re a fridge. No backs....
ON Saturday August 29, Liverpool FC begin again. A new start in the year of the restart. The parading of the Champions starts here. The Champions grand tour commences at Wembley stadium this weekend. Although I’d really rather have a lot less miles on my clock, one...
TIME to turn the lights out. Exit, The Reds, stage left. What a performance. The boards drenched in floral tributes. The bows could go on all night. No dry eyes on Wednesday evening after that trophy lift. What a season. What a team. So, the point of Newcastle,...
HERE’S to Liverpool, the Champions of England. Here’s to the team that never knows when it’s beaten, that could never accept that it was futile to try and find a way to muscle past an infinitely greater resourced adversary. Here’s to the lads who can never be...
THERE’S a part of me that would quite like this season to move out of the way now so that we can focus fully on the next one. It may seem crazy to come across as ungrateful in the face of the greatest Liverpool season in modern memory, but what little remains of...
THERE’S been more than a few new abnormals that we’ve found ourselves having to become accustomed too in these dystopian days. One is that our favourite pastime now passes time without our presence. I’m beginning to forget exactly what it feels like to be in a...
The Pub Crawlers Podcast: Down The Local with Mo Stewart (S1E5)
The fifth episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded ‘Down The Local’ in Liverpool, as Rob Gutmann hosts Steve Graves and Mo Stewart to discuss worst pub toilet experiences, music in pubs, Glastonbury, 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…
