I USED to love shit horror films, blissfully ignoring the shortcomings — bad acting, poor plot, unrealistic stunts — and sticking with it for the good bits; that it was kind of entertaining and some of it made you jump. A classic of the genre in the 1980s...
Midnight Caller is where we grab people to talk about issues across general football which have caught our eye. It can be anything, from the rise of China to the threat of B-Teams in English football. It is simply finding someone who knows their stuff to talk with us...
IF the August transfer window ends with Joe Allen still a Liverpool player, he will be starting his fifth season in a Liverpool shirt. Allen has been one of the stand-out performers in Wales’ incredible run to the semi-finals of Euro 2016, where they face Portugal...
FOR many Reds, the best news to emerge from the European Championships so far Daniel Sturridge coming back injury-free. That he boarded the plane with nothing more serious than slightly damaged pride and a fair dose of regret should be a blessing for all of us who...
WELL, I’ve had the chance to take the piss out of old Roy this week. The “Hodgecast” has gone down a storm such is the willingness to lay into Hodgson, erstwhile Liverpool manager and known fraud of this parish for some years. But, there’s a serious side to the damage...
“THESE things happen.” They do. They did. They happened in 2012. They happened in 2014. These things happen. They happened in Liverpool, Blackburn and Inter Milan. They happened, these things. They happen. The facts about these things, the things which happen, all the...
OUR special show on the Euros; a look at who is impressing, what games were tactically fascinating, great goals, and good laughs at the summer tournament. We’ll have guests from across the country and beyond. Post England. Post Hodge. Neil Atkinson hosts as John...
I HATE international football. Or, more specifically, I hate England in international football. I’ve found it really interesting to read the various Anfield Wrap pieces about Roy Hodgson’s men in the Euros. I liked, though completely disagreed with, Rob Gutmann’s...
MY head has gone a little bit here to be honest with you. I’ve been awake since five bells in a field in Glastonbury, listening to the rain pelt down onto the roof, saturating the already flooded ground to the extent that we might never get our car off this...
Our special show on the Euro 2016, a look at who is impressing, what games were tactically fascinating, great goals, and good laughs at the summer tournament. We’ll have guests from across the country and beyond. On Joe Allen Appreciation Day host John Gibbons is...
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…
