ANOTHER draw. Another afternoon of misfiring in front of goal. And another draw there, which has resulted in some supporters of 10th-placed Everton having a little gloat about it all. They’ve not had too much else to shout about so fair play. I remember those days....
The Friday Show has Chris Barbour in talking about Chelsea ahead of their visit to the Etihad this weekend with Eden Hazard back to his best. We also have Elliott Wheatbowen chatting about a Huddersfield side who are going and in the studio with Chris there is Steve...
I HAVE often questioned the “is the glass half full or half empty?” proverb. Mostly because I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say “half empty” in any other context. I’m not convinced it’s a real saying, like Fred Astaire suggesting that some people pronounce potato...
I’VE been thinking a lot about outrage lately. I get the feeling outrage has been applied to almost all aspects of daily life in recent years, and as a result we’re in danger of the whole concept becoming neutralised. In a week where outrage has been attributed to all...
LIVERPOOL and Manchester City will not play Premier League football at the same time again until the last day of this season. That’s a prediction rather than a fact at the moment, but Sky and BT have not paid £5billion to miss a second of this title race now. If you...
IT was a brilliant 2018 for Liverpool. The first half saw them reach the Champions League final in thrilling fashion, while the second half was made up of charging to the front of the Premier League pack. A week into 2019 and they’ve suffered two defeats, one to their...
Liverpool’s unbeaten record is over, undone by Manchester City by the finest of margins at the Etihad. Joining Rob Gutmann for a forensic look back at Liverpool’s fruitless trip to Manchester are Sean Rogers and Neil Atkinson. To listen to the full edition...
SO, we’re still top. And it seems they still don’t like it. In the buildup to yesterday’s media-driven hyperbole of a “title-deciding” game at the Etihad Stadium, which it never at any point was, sections of passionately timorous social media tribes were collectively...
IT is not like it’s the first game Liverpool have lost this season. The defeat in Paris was more damaging at the time and they survived it. This result was bad but the performance wasn’t. It will be dissected in finger-pointing detail elsewhere but it was certainly...
GETTING beat hurts. It is rubbish. Hold that close, Reds. Remember that pain. Four clear. Seventeen games to go. Arsenal and City completed. You’d have taken it at the moment when Virgil van Dijk slices the ball towards Jordan Pickford’s goal, by god...
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…
