WANT to know what I don’t get? Okay, first, preamble as per always. I haven’t written anything for a few weeks. Here, that is. Tons of other stuff but nothing footbally, nothing here. Nothing since Jürgen Klopp got the job. Two reasons for that: 1.) All...
EIGHT days, three draws and fans are heading for the Anfield exits early again, doubting rather than believing. The excitement around the appointment of Jurgen Klopp – the man dubbed ‘the most wanted manager in world football’ has now been tempered for...
PAUL Senior hangs on for me as I wait for The Pink show to bounce. I’ve no idea what bouncing is or what bouncing entails, but anyway. We have a chat and he says he’s maybe watched too much football. He hasn’t missed a domestic game since West Ham...
THE dress rehearsal phase is well and truly over. This is now a live situation for Jurgen Klopp. You don’t just roll into town with the billing he’s enjoyed without facing a swift day of reckoning. Liverpool have won just three matches in 13 games this season, against...
MICHAEL T Nevin is away. Words which should strike fear into the heart of hoteliers around the world. Michael T Nevin is away. He is drinking your booze. Swimming in your sea. Wearing your slippers. Instead you’ve got me, Neil Atkinson, writing more about the...
TWO games in, two draws, one goal, but signs of the team taking a nice shape and moving, generally, in a nice ‘Klopp-esque’ direction. Most of all though, it is just nice to be bloody excited about Liverpool and the football again. It has been exciting to...
ANOTHER frustrating Anfield night. Even if they are still getting to know the manager, and for many each other, the team should have had enough to beat the 12th best team in Russia playing for so long with 10 men. Could do with a win Sunday. Simon Mignolet: 7...
WALKING out. Walking along. Me, Ben Jono, Mike Girling, Sam Brockle. “Don’t really know what you say about that one.” Walking down towards the brow. “One of them. Got to write a match report.” “About that?” asks Ben Jono....
NEIL ATKINSON and Andy Heaton were joined by Accrington Stanley manager John Coleman to chat about football management, what its like going in to a new club and what challenges a new manager faces on the day when Jürgen Klopp makes his Anfield bow. If you're already...
THIRTY-TWO years today, Steve Nicol first rippled the net in the Red, scoring the first of his 46 goals for Liverpool as Joe Fagan’s Reds won 1-0 away at QPR. I first remember taking in his gingery countenance in a January FA Cup game at Anfield in 1984. We were...
The Anfield Wrap’s pre match show ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Villa Park to face Aston Villa in the Premier League.
Ian Ryan hosts Josh Sexton, Gregg Munikwa and Sean Rogers.
Also in the show, John Gibbons chats to Tom Fahy about Friday nights game and Neil Atkinson talks to Les Wright and Danny Smith about their charity 5-a-side fundraiser in June.
