I FEEL as though I’ve written this piece before. Last time, though, it was about Alberto Moreno and how he was a player that could be flawless for a whole season, but the minute he made a mistake he’d be vilified. You’d be well within your rights to say Moreno wasn’t...
It’s a Gutter show with a twist as we look back at previous transfer windows and pick apart, with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, what the club got wrong and what it got right. Opening up the first of a series of shows to look back at the summer of 2014/15 are...
Sat in the office yesterday chatting the worst Friday wham you can imagine when my colleague Gareth Roberts piped up about the Watford game at the start of the season feeling like ages ago and he had a point, but maybe not in the way he might have meant. Is 217 days...
INJURIES can have a massive impact on a football team, writes LACHLAN BALLINGALL. As seen last season, injury and absence can derail a campaign. But, in another sense, it can also give backup players the opportunity to shine — assuming there is enough depth in...
EVER completely change your mind about something or somebody, and almost feel bad for holding the previous opinion? These days it seems there’s a clamour to be right about everything online and often people will act as if they’ve always held a certain opinion —...
AS the temperature dropped from late summer to midwinter, without hesitating for a second to remember that there’s a little thing called autumn, I retreated indoors to spend the weekend binge watching series two of Stranger Things, interrupted only to see the Mighty...
HARK back to May after Liverpool had secured their top four position on the final day of the season and you would’ve had some very long odds on Alberto Moreno still being at the club come the start of the 2017-18 season. Even more improbable would’ve been the...
FOOTBALL supporters can be fickle, and I certainly am at times. At any football club around the world there are moments when you really admire a player, and then there are moments you basically despise them, look no further than Dejan Lovren for the latter,...
AS last season came to a close, it was supposed to be the end of Alberto Moreno’s career at Liverpool, writes KEVIN KOCZWARA. The 25-year-old Spanish left back had become a punching bag for the Anfield crowd. He was derided for his social media posts, much like the...
PRE-season friendlies are interesting for a number of reasons. They give supporters a chance to see some of the club’s brightest young talent in action, to see new stars make their mark and even give the players who looked certain to leave the club a chance to claw...
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…
