ELEVEN Reds for 11 seasons… Jamie Carragher has spent the last few weeks compiling various starting XIs based on such varied criteria as nationality, an NFL-style draft and even a combined team of the Soccer Aid players. I never thought I’d see Woody Harrelson...
ONE of the complaints levelled against Liverpool of late is that they haven’t had the injuries of the other title contenders. Like many blanket accusations, this isn’t entirely true. You can look at Joel Matip, Mo Salah (still not 100 per cent), Naby Keita and, of...
XABI Alonso, a man who brought grace and elegance to the Anfield turf, once said: “I don’t think tackling is a quality. Tackling is a last resort, and you will need it, but it isn’t a quality to aspire to.” Who didn’t enjoy the classy midfielder at...
MONDAY night at the King Power underlined the current Liverpool team’s plight as they were deservedly dispatched 3-1 by a Leicester City side galvanised by the sacking of Claudio Ranieri, writes JOE HAGAN-DUCKERS. Within the first five minutes it didn’t take an expert...
IAN RYAN BASTARDS in football. We all love them, don’t we? In my fairly short-lived football career, I was a centre forward in the mould of Peter Beardsley (nowhere near as good but better looking and with a bit more pace) but I wanted to be a bastard. The lad that...

The Pub Crawlers Podcast: Nottingham (S1E3)
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…
