“NEVIN! Where’s your bloody kit?” “Sorry Sir, forgot it (again)”. My classmates trudged off onto the cold, windswept rugby pitch while I tried to avoid a beating. Where school rugby was concerned I was in a state of permanent futuristic forgetfulness and panic,...
WHAT do you think of Michael Owen? It’s a question that has been popping into my head pretty frequently over the past couple of weeks for various reasons. I’ve noticed myself subconsciously referencing him on multiple occasions and, when I do, the collective reaction...
SATURDAY was good fun, wasn’t it? They say a rolling stone gathers no moss. Well I wish it fucking would. I wish it would roll like fuck and clatter into auld Jonny Moss, gather him up like a trodden-on snail and dump him right in the river. That said, it would...
AS far as sucker punches go, that’s up there. Liverpool were absolutely undressed by Manchester City in a manner that demands an immediate response. But fuck the result. Having been clearly the better side for most of the opening period the game was taken away...

The Pub Crawlers Podcast: Down The Local with Neil Atkinson (S1E11)
The 11th episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded ‘Down The Local’ in Liverpool, as Rob Gutmann hosts Steve Graves and Neil Atkinson to discuss risky texts, cats in pubs, jukeboxes 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…
