So near, yet so far. Liverpool took it all the way to the wire on the final day but it was Manchester City’s remarkable 3-2 comeback over Aston Villa that saw them crowned champions. On this week’s show Luke and James discuss how the final day played out, why we can be proud of our team and what is yet to come as the season concludes with one final, huge game. We also took the time to praise Mo Salah for his Golden Boot win and Alisson’s Golden Glove achievement. This gave us the chance to...

In a somewhat dour week for Liverpool fans, Luke and James pick over the bones of recent results that mean the Premier League title is probably not coming to Anfield :(  In particular, we analysed the win over Aston Villa and the brilliance of Sadio Mane who has quickly become Liverpool’s most potent goal threat in recent weeks. In contrast, we wondered when we will see the best of Mo Salah again after a continued period of un-Salah like performances.  Ahead of a huge fortnight for the Reds...

Allez Les Rouges! The Reds have made more history by making it to a 10th European Cup final and the 3rd in the Jurgen Klopp era!

The guys take a close look into Diaz’s...

A wonderful week for the Reds was concluded with yet another Merseyside Derby win, and there was only one place we could start. Divock Origi. Luke and James talk about the brilliance of the Belgian whose record in the fixture is absolutely outstanding with 6 (SIX) goals against the blues to date. We discuss Origi’s legacy, and whether or not he would even have been on the pitch if we were not coming up against the Bitters. Due to him opening the scoring, we spent some time praising unsung...

Well, while the rest of the world loved the clash between Liverpool and Manchester City, now dubbed the biggest game in world football, it’s fair to say us fans were put through the wringer! Luke and James are back to talk through the 2-2 draw at the Etihad and what it means for the rest of the title race.

The international break is over and Liverpool are back for what is one of the biggest months in recent memory.  Not only that, but the lads have also returned, refreshed and rejuvenated for what is sure to be a nervy run-in.

Another week and another step towards glory for the Reds as progress is made towards Champions League and Premier League victories. Luke and James hit record the night after the Reds’ 1-0 loss to Inter Milan in the Champions League that saw them progress 2-1 on aggregate to the quarter-finals of the competition. While they may have lost the match, the performance wasn’t so bad with Liverpool by far the dominant side over the two legs. With this in mind, the lads discuss the performance, and...

Another win, another three points and Luke and James are here to talk all about it!

It was back to winning ways for the Reds in the Premier League this week, and Luke and James are here to run their eyes over all the action.

It’s all about the Cups this week as Luke and James reflect on the 4-1 win over Shrewsbury in the FA Cup and look ahead to (we hope) tonight’s clash with Arsenal in the League Cup Semi-Final first leg!

On this week’s podcast, Luke and James are here to discuss all the action including the key decisions in that match.

Another week, another 4-0 win for Liverpool! Luke and James are here to chat about the Reds’ great win over Southampton, and how promising it is that Liverpool have been scoring lots of goals of late. Before getting stuck into the match, there was time to glance over the frankly ludicrous decision that saw Mo Salah only achieve 7th place in this year’s Ballon d'Or ceremony. There’s no way we’re having Jorginho better than him… Anyway, back to the on the pitch action and we discussed Diogo...

There’s no doubt about it, it’s been a pretty tough weekend for Liverpool fans as the Reds succumbed to a first defeat since April in London to West Ham. But, despite the 3-2 defeat, there’s still plenty to be positive about despite what Liverpool Twitter may have to say.

After a pretty worrying surrender against Brighton & Hove Albion, the Reds showed their best in a dramatic Champions League win over Atletico Madrid. The Spanish champions had given Liverpool a great match, but could not live with the Reds at Anfield. Despite picking an attacking lineup, the Spanish Champions were unable to cause much of a threat to the Liverpool backline. The win sees Liverpool top their Champions League group with two games to spare. Will the Reds use this time as a...

It's been a week of big wins for Liverpool Football Club. First, a romping win over Watford, with a Mo Salah wonder goal of course included in that. Naby Keita has been at the centre of attention of course. After a tremendous volley, it seems Jurgen Klopp didn't trust the mercurial talent to help hold out Atletico Madrid. Does he deserve a place back in the team? Or should he be put back on the bench? Diego Simeone forgot to shake Jurgen Klopp's hand after the match, but is it really that...
