Despite falling to a disappointing draw against Brighton & Hove Albion, Liverpool can bounce back quick so long as they keep showing humility… I WAS in Brighton a few weeks ago. My mate Matt lives near there so, as a birthday present, I bought us...
It was a historic day at Old Trafford as Liverpool put five past Manchester United, but where does it rank among The Reds all-time wins? WELL… I mean… Well… What do you say about that? How do you sum that up in a thousand words? How do you channel 30-plus years...
Despite another convincing win and display on Saturday, Liverpool remain third favourites for the title. Yet we, the fans, like it this way… KEEP talking about Manchester City. Keep talking about Chelsea. Make everything about Manchester United, Ronaldo...
After six years at Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp has managed to achieve what his predecessors couldn’t – in more ways than one… SIX years is a long time for any manager to be in place. Not many make it that far. In our recent history, only Rafa...
Assessing Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Manchester City at Anfield – now that the dust has settled are we more prepared to see it as a good point? LAST week I wrote about how draws are defeats nowadays. It’s never good to take the lead twice and come...
After Liverpool’s draw against Brentford was met with the reaction of a defeat, why is it that a point now feels like none for The Reds? DRAWS feel like defeats these days. I know they shouldn’t, and the fact that they do shows the level of expectation...
After Pep Guardiola’s comments caused a fallout among Manchester City fans, was their manager missing the point or bang on the money? “INTERPRETATION is interpretation. “I’m not going to apologise for what I said. I’m surprised about what happened with...
Chants from some Leeds United and Liverpool fans put a dampener on Sunday, but should the media do more to shine a light on certain songs? I HAD never been to Elland Road. I’ve gone past it countless times but never been searched and allowed access to the...
With The Anfield Wrap celebrating its 10th anniversary, Karl Coppack looks back, looks forward and wonders what’s next for Liverpool. Are The Reds still on the up? “I’LL ask Andy Heaton for you.” In 2011 I was a writer without a home. My...

The Pub Crawlers Podcast: Down The Local with James Sutton (S1E9)
The ninth episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded ‘Down The Local’ in Liverpool, as Rob Gutmann hosts Steve Graves and James Sutton to discuss hen doos, soap opera pubs, bar etiquette 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…
