You will have noticed we are playing our transfer committee games at the moment. They were a great idea by John Furlong all those years ago. There is no end to the ways I enjoy them. Firstly, they have a bit of a reality television vibe where you get to see these...
A new era at Liverpool offers the chance to restore the standards, unity and identity that once made the club so formidable… In 2012 there was a Sky excerpt of Jamie Redknapp returning to Melwood to see the training ground he first visited as a teenage...
In around March 2024 I spoke to somebody who works both in and on football who said to me that agents weren’t sure about their clients going to Liverpool. Not sure about their players, not sure about managers. Nobody knew what would happen once Jurgen Klopp had...
The football never stopped for Liverpool after the Diogo Jota tragedy. A difficult season became about far more than results alone… IT WOULD have impacted anyone. The best Alex Ferguson side. Any Pep Guardiola iteration. The sturdiest mentality monsters led by...
A season which had an eerie resemblance to 2014-15 is finally over for Liverpool. The opportunity to reset must be taken…… In 2015, Sachin Nakrani and I wrote a book, ‘We’re Everywhere, Us’ about the 2014-15 season. Our idea was to carry the flame...
Neil Atkinson’s post-match review for The Anfield Wrap after Liverpool 1 Brentford 1 in the 2025-2026 Premier League at Anfield… I’m glad it is over. But they’ve well and truly burnt my head out this season and today was no exception Liverpool were...
As Mo Salah and Andy Robertson leave Liverpool, it’s time to reflect on contributions to the recent greatness achieved, and build on it… THEY BOTH go as legends. Legend means their faces are etched into Anfield. In the stadium and streets. Their...
Neil Atkinson’s post-match review for The Anfield Wrap after Aston Villa 4 Liverpool 2 in the 2025-2026 Premier League at Villa Park… WHAT we are talking about here is the stupidest team in the country. The stupidest team in the country wandered into Villa Park...
The personality to be Liverpool manager has always been vital. The last two seasons have shown that winning now overrides that notion… CAST YOUR mind back for me. Where were you on 24 May 2015? What were you doing? How were you feeling? I was at a...
Not for the first time this season boos could be heard ringing around Anfield. Can this state of affairs really be repaired?… PEOPLE have lost their minds and I can see why. Anfield is usually expectant and supportive by nature. There’s usually a Day One...
The second episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded ‘Down The Local’ in Liverpool, as Rob Gutmann hosts Steve Graves and Adam Melia to discuss pub table etiquette, men’s shoes, Kate Bush, 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…
