“TODAY, I know nobody wants to hear it but I’m brave enough to say it, the pitch was really dry. “We gave it all the water we had but after 15 minutes it was really dry, the (drying) wind, it was difficult. “You could see it, a lot of passes where...
A four part Radio City Talk show with more comings and goings than Lime Street Station. You really need your wits about you to keep up. The bread in an all action sandwich this week are John Gibbons, Philippa Smallwood, Jay McKenna and Paul Senior. They focus on...
“AS flies to wanton boys are we to th’ gods, they kill us for their sport.” King Lear. As ever, this may not seem, initially at least, to be about football in general or Liverpool in particular but we’ll get there. First we need to talk about Shakespeare. At some...
EVER since Adam Lallana signed for Liverpool I’ve considered him to be a decent player. I wasn’t blown away by him initially, believing that he was ‘feeling the weight of the shirt’ and considering him to be a little like another Joe Allen. He was good,...
Host John Gibbons is joined by Charlie Christian, Kev Sampson and Neil Docking. They get stuck into your hot topics, including where they see Liverpool in 5 years, the legacy of Graeme Souness, Rafa v Klopp and The new Kenny Dalglish Stand All that and much much more...
“BOBBY Firmino” rang the now familiar chant from the Smethwick End at The Hawthorns last Sunday after another vital winning goal from the Brazilian. I’ve got to be honest, I’m not that fussed with the “Bobby” moniker, not solely down to the fact I’m a...
WHEN I was a kid we seemed to be exposed to quite a bit of Ancient Greek mythology. I think whatever passed for the national curriculum in the 70s was still rooted in the basic disciplines of an Empire education. Those Greeks. All their stuff seemed so long ago. Where...
BEFORE this season began I speculated that Liverpool would challenge for the title. My logic was that Arsenal always finish fourth, Tottenham would be heartbroken at not taking Leicester to the wire last season — much as we were in 2014-2015 — and...
USUALLY in a two-sided scenario people have an opinion one way or the other. Often, someone is plain wrong, and someone completely right — such as when someone tells you that the earth is flat. Other situations aren’t so clear. Such as when people go to...
THERE was a time, a moment, when all that money Liverpool shipped off to Newcastle for Andy Carroll, suddenly made sense, writes GREG STANLEY. In the sheer euphoria that followed not just his thunderous long-range strike that almost took Joe Hart into the net with it,...
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…
