Liverpool welcome Arsenal to Anfield for the late kick off this Saturday. With both teams having a perfect start to this year’s campaign, the reds will be looking to collect all three points against the Gunners. Gareth Roberts was joined by guests Damian...
THERE’S a certain irony that on the same weekend Liverpool take on Arsenal at Anfield, one plan for an extension of the famous old ground is hopefully abandoned for another. Arsenal, of course, ditched their traditional home of 93 years – Highbury – for...
Liverpool are to submit new planning for a bigger and better version of the Anfield Road end, which would take Anfield’s capacity beyond 60,000. Joining Neil Atkinson to react to the news and to look ahead to the visit of Arsenal are Ste Evans, Adam Melia,...
A FRENETIC start to the season has finally eased. Over the past week, Liverpool were able to rest weary early-season limbs for a full seven days following the important win over Southampton. We are only two league games into the new campaign but already it feels like...

WE are the champions, the champions of Europe. Jürgen Klopp said he wanted us to forget about Madrid after pre season. Well soz abar us. Anfield wanted a party and the players wanted to entertain. A celebration of brilliance and excellence was what we were served up...
HERE we are again. The summer was boss, weren’t it? Unbearable bastards everywhere sixing there head off. Spent circa 30 per cent of Glastonbury pretending to lift the European Cup. Flags all over the gaff getting pictures taken, six fingers erected all over the...
IT’S time. When football is handed back to us. When it becomes ours once more. When what happens in the ground tops anything else. How it should be. The close season has always been barren by definition; a period pre-internet (stick with it, kids) that once featured...
I’VE always felt that the first game of a new season is the most special. I’ll bore on about it at the beginning of each new campaign. The first fixture is the one to be most eagerly anticipated. There’s something timelessly pure about the moment just before the first...
IN the days that followed the European Cup final, there was one player in particular that we continually thought about. Local lad Trent Alexander-Arnold had just lived out his dreams and all of ours at just 20 years old. The Anfield Wrap wanted to celebrate this. We...
Liverpool’s Famous Kop & Man City | The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool face a Manchester City side this weekend, a game which would grab the attention of the nation regardless, with City having been found guilty of cheating by the Premier League facing a side that ran them so close on various occasions, the eyes of the nation will be glued to a fixture that promises a powder keg of an atmosphere – but with so many questions hanging over Manchester City, should this fixture even be played at all and what can we expect when the side found guilty of 114 of the 115 charges levelled at them roll in to Anfield?
To discuss all the above, Neil Atkinson is joined by John Gibbons and also Brian Reade to talk not just about the weekend’s clash, but also his new book ‘The Kop’ which explores how and why the Kop became the globally-renowned stand it is today.
Also on the show, Neil chats to Charles and Andrew Hendy of ‘The Mary Wallopers’ to talk about their James Skelly produced new album ‘Paddywhackery’.
