THIS means more. Slightly trite slogans aside, to many, playing against ‘them’ would mean more regardless of the wider picture. Especially to those of us who were raised in a sea of Alex Ferguson-inspired Manchester United dominance. The Red Devils had the audacity to...
IF the Leicester City game was a masterpiece, Wolves was a hastily drawn map to the Post Office scratched on the back of a ciggy packet. While one game had wit and verve, the other was a war of attrition as both sides faced an in-form Anthony Taylor. Despite the...
LEICESTER City came into the game second in the table. They are undoubtedly one of the three best sides in the division so far this season. They were decimated by Liverpool on their own ground. They were taken to the cleaners by The Reds. The Champions of Europe, the...
HAPPY Christmas, pilgrims. Another year and The Reds top of the pile again on the 25th. I make this the fourth time in the past 10 years that this has happened – 2009, 2014, 2018, 2019. They used to say that the team that lead at Christmas always won the title...
LITTLE legs. Look at him give it little legs. World champions. The best in the world. I mean, you knew it anyway. You had it in your back pocket. You took it home, you polished it up. You hoped it and prayed it as well as believing and knowing. The best in the world...

THE World Club Cup final is only a day away now. There seems to be a sense that in many ways Jürgen Klopp, and perhaps others at Liverpool FC too, will be glad to see the back of it. From the start, much of the message from the manager, the players, the club in...
The Champions of Europe Liverpool face the Champions of South America in Flamengo from Brazil to decide who will be the Club World Champions. John Gibbons is joined in the studio by Paul Cope, Ian Ryan and Adam Smith, as well as Flamengo fan Diego Guerra over the...
AFTER the glory of lifting European Cup number six in Madrid in June – coupled with gathering a club-record 97 points in the Premier League – many predicted Liverpool would turn to the transfer market with the star shining so brightly. Use the position of strength as...
“I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime, I might not ever get home.” BEING abroad and watching these. Being abroad and being represented by the best sports team on the planet. Knowing these are the best of the best. The best men alive today....
Liverpool Sign Off Pre Season With A Win But Still Work To Do | The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool finished their pre-season with a confident win over Cesc Fabregas’s Como at Anfield with Jérémy Jacquet marking his first appearance with a confident assured display, but with the Reds squad still lacking depth and quality and with less than a week until Liverpool travel to Tyneside for their season opener against Newcastle, can Liverpool do what is required in the transfer market to give Andoni Iraola the best chance of having a successfully debut season?
Also in the show, Neil speaks to Matt Parrish, CEO of the Liverpool FC Foundation about what they do when they join the squad on pre-season tours
On this week’s show Neil Atkinson is joined by Tom Muscatelli, Kieran Molyneux and John Gibbons.
