I WAS at a low ebb there before kick off. Specifically in ours all day. This shit doesn’t seem fair. I needed something, someone to get me back on track, some kind of affirmation as to why footy is the greatest thing in the world. Met the lads for four pints before...
LOSING 3-0 to Barcelona in the first leg of a Champions League semi final when arguably the better team… Lucky Scousers. Losing Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino ahead of the second leg… Lucky Scousers. Reaching 94 points in the Premier League with a game to...
A SEASON that has brought so much joy, a campaign of victory upon victory, of glorious football is now ebbing towards an ultimately sad conclusion. It shouldn’t be this way, but it just is. Defeat in the Nou Camp on Wednesday night was hard to take. Attempting to get...

Gareth Roberts is joined by Tony Barrett and Andy Kelly to relive Liverpool’s famous 2007 Champions League victory in the Nou Camp. The trip, the ground, Rafa Benítez’s tactics and the infamous golf-club incident are all discussed. To listen to our European Cup Semi...
