The Anfield Wrap has an agenda. It does. It has an agenda. Every Monday and every Wednesday me, Andy Heaton or Jim Boardman write an agenda for the panel to talk about. That’s the agenda.
So in the spirit of inclusivity, I want you to have an agenda for our phone-ins going forward. I want you to have some time to think about what we’re going to talk about and get yourselves ready for a good chat on Thursdays at 6pm. Some weeks, like this, it’ll be obvious. Others less so. But, regardless, here is the first phone-in agenda:
City Talk Phone In Agenda 31/5/12
Time – 6pm
Place – your house, car, headphones, whatever. 105.9 FM and
Number – 0151 708 1059.
Host – Neil Atkinson.
Guest – Mike Nevin (co-author of On The March With Kenny”s Army)
Opening question – what would your Olympic event be if you had to choose one?
Agenda:
1. Brendan Rodgers Superstar.
a) What do we call him?
b) What players do with think will flourish under him?
c) What you think of his tactical approach?
d) Where does he need to improve the squad to get the best out of Liverpool?
e) Seeming refusal to work with van Gaal. Sensible man?
f) Players likely to go? Any chance that Maxi, Dirk etc get a reprieve?
g) Is he younger than you? How does that make you feel?
2. Expectations for next season.
a) Do we just want to see any improvement or is there a baseline league place or figure we expect him to meet?
b) Cups going to be seen as less significant?
c) Does this, and his footballing philosophy bode well for Liverpool’s younger players? Coady, Sterling, Teixiera et al?

3. On expectations, what will you pledge to do if Liverpool achieve a certain benchmark next season? If Liverpool/Everton win the league/come fourth/get relegated you will… Stick your neck on the line with us.
4. Is there a season ticket holder who sits near you that you hope won’t be there next season? Who do you want to jack it all in and why? Tell us under the cloak of anonymity.
5. Any Other Business.
So there you have it. Your phone in from six. Give me a call. 0151 708 1059.
Take it easy
Neil.

Why aren’t these phone-ins available as a podcast? They sound fun.
Agreed, please podcast them!
Please add phone on to the podcast feed. Thanks.
Thanks for including my article on why Rodgers makes sense.
Would just like to agree with the other comments, the phone-ins as podcasts is a must.
Agreed.
Any other way to listen in live on city talk from outside mainland UK? Seems to be blocked for some reason.
Thanks!
Hilarious to hear Gutmann the eternal Kenny cheerleader sounding rather down at the new appointment, he can barely hide his disdain!. LFC is a club Rob, not a man!.
i was listening online around 6pm had about half hour then could not get a connection again athough i could get all other sites i use.
so a pod cast of the phone in would be good for us OOT`S
Would LOVE to be able to download these phone-ins your doing. Thanks… All the best from Iceland.
Another Brit living abroad here who would love to listen to the phone in show.
Agree with previous comments.
– Yes to podcast.
– Remove the annoying geo block for the City Talk stream.
