The phoney war is over, the real stuff starts on Sunday, but before then there’s the little matter of transfer deadline day to get through. So to talk the last day of the window, and look back on pre-season and look ahead to the new campaign, Liverpool season-ticket holders Sean Bradbury, Dan Kay and Paul Philbin join host Paul Wheelock for our latest View from the Kop podcast.The Reds have impressed both on and off the pitch during the summer in a manner that Sean, Dan and Paul Philbin believe befits a big club. Indeed, apart from the pursuit of a certain Lyon midfielder, the trio struggle to think of any major dramas since the Champions League final. Dan is a little concerned, though, that a key member of Jurgen Klopp’s squad has yet to put pen to paper on a new deal.However, the mood is overwhelmingly positive, with all three praising the 17-year-old Scouser who has played his way into Klopp’s plans, and the less heralded new signing who Paul reckons could have an impact similar to Yossi Benayoun.Sean, Dan

The story of Liverpool’s run to last season’s Champions League final is well told – but less so is the tale of the man whose song soundtracked the memorable march to Kiev.Jamie Webster’s brilliant version of Allez Allez Allez has taken the big Red and fellow matchgoer Dan Nicolson on a remarkable ride that is showing no signs of slowing down yet.From the Ukraine, to the United States, and then to Dublin, Jamie and Dan have experienced a rollercoaster few months they will never forgot.And now back in Liverpool ahead of the new season, they joined hosts Paul Wheelock and Paul Philbin for a special podcast.The duo recall the magical scenes in Shevchenko Park and what it was like to be asked to accompany Liverpool on their pre-season tour of America and Ireland – including the amazing moment Jurgen Klopp walked in on Jamie while he was performing THAT song.Allez Allez Allez has taken on a life of its own and Jamie and Dan, whose BOSS night event was where the song truly came to prominence, explain its origin and
