It’s another special podcast from The Anfield Wrap. It’s live from the 12-seater luxury minibus which is taking us to the final in Kiev, and we’re getting nostalgic about previous European finals; the stories surrounding the places, the games and the...
I ALLOWED myself to wallow for half an hour on Wednesday night. Immediately after the final whistle, I was overcome by a need to sit down. To sit down and worry about how long it was going to take to get home, how much I had spent in the process to date, whether we...
Gareth Roberts and Jon Jones are uphill and down dale on the road to Basle. Going via Copenhagen they have recorded a little audio diary to get TAW Player subscribers in the mood this morning of the Europa League. Memories of finals past and looking forward to...

THE last time I cracked my fingers and wrote a little piece for The Anfield Wrap I was defending Brendan Rodgers’ team selection and the Reds’ performance in Madrid. It was a positive article backing the manager and trying to silence the naysayers. This...
