ENGLAND have done it again. Roy Hodgson has succeeded in what he does best. In a highly favourable looking group, England have still contrived to finish second best, behind Wales. Tepid, turgid football, characterised by dominating the ball against meagre opponents...
TWO years ago, a big group of us went to Brazil for the World Cup. I might have mentioned it. We had such a great time, we were determined to head over to Euro 2016 in France, to take part in another carnival of football. A nice weekend in the South of France was...
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. Hosted by Neil Atkinson with Glenn Price and John...
THE dust has settled on England’s 1-1 draw in their Euro 2016 opener versus Russia. That all-too-familiar sense of deflation and disillusion with the national side has resurfaced in the wake of Vasili Berezutski’s 92nd-minute equaliser to earn the Russians a point...
Having been vocal on social media when England let their lead over Russia slip right at the death, Glenn Price had an exclusive chat with Paul Scharner about his experiences of being managed by the former Liverpool gaffer. PAUL Scharner has questioned how Roy Hodgson...
WITH all the validity and integrity of big Sepp Blatter’s process for sorting out the level of his annual bonus, The Anfield Wrap held an independently adjudicated draw to determine which country competing in Euro 2016 we would all write about. I got England. Sensing...
ALL the focus was on “England”. “England fans”. What the world was witnessing in Marseille was England and England fans. Not men and women, sons and daughters. Not people. England yobs. England thugs. English disease. Dark ages. Let the country...
DURING the football season itself — when Liverpool FC are my first, last and always — I have zero interest in international football. It is only a needless distraction from the main event. An interloper in a perfectly sufficient festival of red-rooted...
LAST day of term. Farewell to Anfield for the summer. It’s been a strange year with the old ground. She’s put us through the mixer for half the time, but come good in the end. Anfield never lets you down for too long. Eventually Anfield becomes Anfield again,...
I HAD every intention of using this column to write about our current songbook this weekend; a critical analysis of the songs that are in heavy rotation and a reflection on the impact they are having on the atmosphere in the ground. There was going to be a big section...
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…
