STAFF shakeups seem to have become a regular occurrence since Jürgen Klopp took the reins at Liverpool. The German brought trusted sidekicks Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz with him from Borussia Dortmund — putting paid to Sean O’Driscoll’s time as assistant,...
JAMIE CARRAGHER played 737 times for Liverpool, showing staying power that left him second only to Ian Callaghan in the list of players who have made the most appearances for the Reds. In more than 16 years of being in the first-team squad, Carra won the Champions...
I CAN’T wait to get back to Anfield. I can’t wait to watch Liverpool play football again. To see this team in the flesh again is a joy to behold. To get to do it another 20 or so times this season, while absorbing the waves of positivity around the place, is a...
THE bar has moved. Once upon a time, supporters of Liverpool Football Club would worry when we dropped points because they imagined that every point was more important than it actually was. In reality, we could have won a title in 2015-16 with 82 points, allowing 32...
WE all tell ourselves stories to get through life and, let’s be honest here, not all of them are strictly true. Whether it’s work, relationships, how you look, how you feel, or pretty much anything else important, a bit of internal spit and polish can make things feel...
IT’S a good time to be alive, isn’t it? A few days till the league starts and The Reds are all on the karaoke. The Instagram videos of new boys Alisson Becker, Fabinho, Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri all having to sing in front of their new teammates, showed just a...
“IT’S always this little plus if they come from Liverpool. “If I have two players, same quality, but one speaks proper English and the other one speaks Scouse, the Scouser is in! “That’s why we are Liverpool.” It’s a small statement from Jürgen...
Liverpool’s preseason continues apace and now the first game is very much on the horizon. Liverpool face West Ham in less than three weeks. The Anfield Wrap takes stock on Citytalk this week about where those preparations are up to. Both Mo Salah and Sadio Mane...
“IF you are in the relegation zone, then you are in a relegation battle” Good old Roy Hodgson, eh? The manager who will always provide a post-2010 barometer for where Liverpool Football Club once very recently stood; sullen and soaked in dark matter with the prospect...

The third episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded in Nottingham, as Rob Gutmann hosts Steve Graves and Martin Fitzgerald to discuss the local pub scene, Indian restaurants, students, 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…
