FOR the first time in almost a quarter of century, The Main Stand is no longer a misnomer. Housing upwards of one third (20,200 to be exact) of Anfield’s new 54,742 capacity, this impressive new monolith dwarfs the Centenary Stand opposite and the famous Kop to its...
THE transfer window has, mercifully, slammed shut, writes DAVID WEBBER. The hum of rumours and ‘ITKs’ cluttering up Twitter can at least subside, and with the Main Stand finally completed, the season can start in earnest when we welcome the Reds back to...
IN a little over 24 hours the transfer window SLAMS SHUT and football clubs up and down the country will have to make do with the footballers they have. Well until January 1 at least. Liverpool may ship out a few more before then (any hopes Mario?) but it...
IN an interview with German newspaper Die Welt at the weekend, Jürgen Klopp was asked about Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea investing heavily in new players. José Mourinho, Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte “are not known to go shopping at...
IN the last hour Independent journalist Simon Hughes has exclusively revealed that an investment group supported by the Chinese state government is attempting to purchase Liverpool for £700million. As the story was breaking Simon very kindly came to speak to The...
I WAS as glad as everyone else to see the back of Raheem Sterling last summer, writes CHARLIE CHRISTIAN. After months of distracted performances, shameless attention-seeking and general poor conduct all round, it was time for the club and Sterling to part ways and at...
IN a reaction special, John Gibbons and Andy Heaton are joined by Spirit Of Shankly’s James McKenna to talk about tonight’s unprecedented statement from Fenway Sports Group who have tonight announced that they are to reverse the changes to ticketing...
WITH a lingering Leicester hangover still to be shaken, Neil Atkinson, Ian Salmon and Gareth Roberts climb the Radio City Tower for this weeks CityTalk show to talk about the brush off from The Foxes, agricultural Allardyce and ticket price fury. What can the Reds,...
IT has been, without doubt, Fenway Sports Group’s boldest move since assuming control of the club five years ago. But even if Jürgen Klopp never wins a game as Liverpool manager (he will), even if his time in charge is an absolute disaster (it won’t be),...
It almost doesn’t matter who he really is. It’s what he represents that counts most. All the cliches. We don’t like losing. We don’t like being looked down upon. Forever being re-classified. We’ve been getting told for 25 years now that...
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…
