Blood Red: The Liverpool Fc Podcast

Our latest View from the Kop podcast gives some much-deserved publicity to the ‘Anfield To The Wanda’ charity run/walk currently being undertaken by a group of Liverpool-supporting friends. 24 fans from Spion Kop 1906, BOSS and Up The Reds are running or walking a combined distance of 1,286 miles – the amount from Anfield to the Wanda – in the two weeks leading up to the first anniversary of the Champions League final win at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid last year. All proceeds will go to the Liverpool charity KIND, which helps disadvantaged children and families from across Merseyside, and one of the 24 supporters who are taking on the challenge is Sam Evans, who tells Paul Philbin and host Paul Wheelock all about it. That also gives Sam and Philbo the chance to reminisce about that magical weekend in Madrid, before talk turns to the return of the Premier League, albeit without fans, and what it was like to follow Liverpool this season before the coronavirus outbreak. If you would like to help Sam and th

The Premier League today took another step toward a return to action as it was agreed that clubs will be allowed to return to training from tomorrow. All 20 clubs unanimously voted for the next stage in the process to be activated, meaning Liverpool's players can reconvene at Melwood for training this week. Join Guy Clarke, Ian Doyle, Dan Kay and Matt Addison as they discuss all the details to emerge from the Premier League meeting, explaining what it means and when Liverpool could come back. One man who impressed as the Bundesliga made its return was Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland, who netted against Schalke, taking him to an incredible 41 goals in 34 matches this season. Both Fabio Capello and Reds legend John Barnes have been discussing the striker's future lately, with Liverpool touted as a possible transfer destination. There is also a mention for Craig Bellamy and his relationship with Rafa Benitez, who was a manager the Welshman certainly did not see eye-to-eye with during his first stint at

Just over five years on from his final outing at Anfield, the Agenda is back as we discuss arguably Liverpool's greatest ever player: Steven Gerrard. Having come through the ranks at Liverpool, Gerrard went on to captain the Reds for over a decade, leading by example, notably in winning the 2005 Champions League and in the 2006 FA Cup final against West Ham United. Join Guy Clarke and Theo Squires as they look back on Gerrard's stellar career, what he meant to Liverpool Football Club, and crucially how significant he was in keeping the Reds challenging through the peak years of his career.

For our latest podcast we’ve picked up the phone to former Liverpool midfielder David Thompson, who tells Paul Wheelock about coming through the club’s youth ranks alongside the likes of Jamie Carragher and Michael Owen, and the pride he felt at going on to make more than 50 appearances for the first team. Thompson also talks the arrival of Gerard Houllier at Anfield and explains his decision and emotions at leaving the club in the summer of 2000. He went on to play his best football under Graeme Souness at Blackburn Rovers until a serious knee eventually led to him retiring early. Thompson speaks honestly about that, as well as giving his thoughts on the situation today's Premier League players currently find themselves in, asked to train and play while the country is still in the midst of the coronavirus crisis, and also his verdict of Jurgen Klopp, Jordan Henderson and the Reds side that is destined to become champions once football returns.The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out v

Liverpool fans used to call Wembley 'Anfield South' given the amount of journeys their side used to make to the national stadium in the 70s and 80s. But for a number of Reds supporters, they hold just as fond memories of the trips that teams managed by Gerard Houllier and Rafa Benitez made to the Millennium Stadium at the turn of the 21st century while Wembley was being redeveloped. Two games stand-out in particular and given they celebrate their anniversaries this week, what better time to take a trip down Memory Lane for a double-header edition of our Liverpool Classics podcast. As not only do Guy Clarke and Dan Kay reminisce about the Michael Owen-inspired 2-1 victory over Arsenal in the 2001 FA Cup final, they also cast their mind back to the 2006 showpiece success over West Ham United in which Steven Gerrard produced a performance so good, and so talismanic, that the game will forever be remembered as 'the Gerrard final'.

The government has given the Premier League the green light to restart in June – and Liverpool could yet lift the title at Anfield. A 50-page roadmap was unveiled by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday that could permit ‘cultural and sporting events to take place behind closed doors for broadcast, while avoiding the risk of large-scale social contact,’ after June 1. The Premier League are planning to play the remaining 92 games behind closed doors at neutral venues that do not include Liverpool’s iconic home, Anfield. But reports have suggested more than half of the 20 top-flight clubs expressed opposition to the neutral grounds plan and have asked Premier League executives to petition the government to be permitted to play the rest of the capaign on the usual home and away basis. That would give Liverpool, who are just two wins away from securing the title, the chance to play their remaining four home matches at Anfield. Join host Guy Clarke, Paul Gorst, Ian Doyle and Matt Addison to discuss all that a
