FOR this game versus Dortmund John’s gone with the facts. Done it excellently as per. Shall we do the feelings? The emotions? I like the reported German approach and response to football. I like it. The game as event. The game as a thing to look forward to and...
JOINING us for our latest show from Dortmund is Eric Meijer, back in the place where he supped some ale with Liverpool fans so famously in 2001. Eric joins John Gibbons, Tim Smith and Andy Heaton for a pre-Borussia Wrap Up with talk of tonight’s game and other...
Neil Atkinson and John Gibbons speak to Stefan Buczko about Liverpool’s away first leg last eight Europa League encounter against Borussia Dortmund. How good are this Dortmund side? What should be worrying The Reds? And could the emotion of the occasion get to...
WELL, they’re all away. The Anfield Wrap crew have decamped to Dortmund, via Amsterdam, on what Neil Atkinson described to me the other day as a “work experiment”. No further insight was proffered, leaving me to ponder if said experiment was to see if anyone can get...
IN the days after Johan Cruyff’s death, many of the obituaries were decorated with some of his most famous quotes about football. “Choose the best player for every position, and you’ll end up not with a strong XI, but with 11 strong ones,” he said. “In my teams, the...
BORUSSIA DORTMUND are currently one of the most popular teams in world football. Five points off the top of the Bundesliga playing an entertaining brand of football, they are often seen as the barometer for how teams without bottomless resources should approach the...

It almost doesn’t matter who he really is. It’s what he represents that counts most. All the cliches. We don’t like losing. We don’t like being looked down upon. Forever being re-classified. We’ve been getting told for 25 years now that...
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…
