WELL. That was a pretty short summer, wasn’t it? Can you even call it a summer? I mean, the weather didn’t really put much effort in while there was no football for us to consume. And as far as some sections of Liverpool’s support are concerned, that lack of effort...
Neil Atkinson is joined by Gareth Roberts, John Gibbons and Karl Coppack discuss a thread on Twitter by The Swiss Ramble which looks into Liverpool’s finances as well as debating what it is we want from the club in regards to transfers and more.. For more reaction to...
TIMO said no. Ti-no? Ah well. If there’s anything football fans like it’s idle transfer speculation. What’s more, it doesn’t even have to have any basis in truth to hold out attention. As the summer begins, names are dredged up and added to the words ‘linked with’ to...
“THERE is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.” WHILE it might not be obvious why I’ve begun with a William Shakespeare quote, consider the following. Shakespeare’s argument is that opportunity ebbs and flows in...
“WHY don’t you talk about FSG?” It’s a question we were forced to consider over and over again at The Anfield Wrap once upon a time. Jürgen Klopp was Liverpool manager, Anfield’s Main Stand had been successfully expanded, but there was a belief that the owners weren’t...
A CALL has been made for fans attending this Saturday’s game with Newcastle to show their support for local merchants and vendors by wearing their merchandise. This has nothing to do with an attack on the club, though many may see it as that. There will be no walkout...
TWO years after buying the Boston Red Sox, Fenway Sports Group were celebrating winning the World Series, writes STEVE TANCOCK. Not just a World Series, but the first in 86 years for a club and fanbase tortured over that human lifetime time by some utterly agonising...
IT is well known that Liverpool FC’s owners are based in Boston, they own an iconic Major League Baseball club and that, in the 16 years they have been in that position, they have achieved substantial success with three World Series wins between 2004 and 2013 —...
LIVERPOOL Football Club operates at its supreme best, from top to bottom, when it exerts controlled aggression in all aspects of its operations. The lack of controlled aggression in all parts of the club, from top to bottom, is, in my view, currently the difference...
Two current Liverpudlian anniversaries dominate this week’s Anfield Wrap. The first is that Sunday October 8 marked the end of the second year of Jürgen Klopp as Liverpool manager. It’s arguable that right now Klopp finds himself under the most pressure he...
The third episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded in Nottingham, as Rob Gutmann hosts Steve Graves and Martin Fitzgerald to discuss the local pub scene, Indian restaurants, students, 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…
