But you'd do some research if you were going on a radio show.

I would anyway.

I get the impression a lot of the guests just pitch up. If they are going to do that, they shouldn't mention details as they don't know them!

Anyway I find is annoying, but I don't want to sound like a critic - as I really enjoy the show.

They should get you on there mate, what with your fountains of knowledge an'all.

This is the first time I've ever listened in.
Thought it was pretty damned good, and I'll be a regular listener from now on I reckon.

Top work guys.

One thing that bugs me about TAW is Neil's role.

Hear me out. He's obviously a good host. But like Marcoti of the Game Podcast, he spends a lot of the time giving his opinion about stuff. Which, when you add all the hosting, the questions, the plugs etc... Means that there's a lot of him talking and it's complete overkill.

Compare it to James Richardson of Football Weekly who very rarely gets involved other than to push conversations along and ask questions (sometimes does Serie A too). You dont get bored of him or feel he's dominating the podcast like you do with Neil and Marcotti.

That's my personel preference anyways, sure others lap Neil up and would love for him to speak more. But there you go.

Each to their own I suppose, as I like Neils input. Also like the optimism of gutmann.... What happened to him?

See, here's the thing, we skipped a week and we had people complaining, this is the first time anyone has complained about us ploughing on.

Also, if something big broke and we weren't in a position having cancelled the session we'd be bollocksed.

Anyway, its a free country, never going to please everyone.

I think you should do a show bollocko, now that'll get'em listening and how about even a live web feed direct to the Crosby and Formby W.I. Get the chicks in on it man.

Found that pretty unbearable to be honest. There's fuck all to talk about really so what you get is a bunch of whingers sitting round picking the bones of what little there is going on. Like an audio version of RAWK on a bad day. Take a break for a few weeks.

I actually really enjoyed the last podcast. It's pretty much always a nice treat to listen to. Keep up the good work.

I think the thing to remember is that these lads record a free podcast in their spare time. I wouldn't get annoyed at them if it an episode or aspect of it isn't exactly to taste.

John, I won't be on much this season. I can't give up Mondays anymore given a few things I now do.

I really enjoy the podcast but recognise that James Richardson is superb at what he does. He was excellent Channel 4's Football Italia and a cut above your average football journo. I'd love to hear him on TAW.

Found it to be great listening as ever.

There may not be much official news to go on but this is probably one of the most important Summers our club has faced in its history - there are major discussions to be had about a number of topics. I've been listening since the first episode and I particularly love the breadth of opinion on there. As ever I find myself more in agreement with Andy than anyone else but I like being able to hear a wide range of views from different supporters - it's part of the charm of supporting the club and often makes me consider things in a different way.

The podcast debating about whether Kenny should go was actually a courageous piece of broadcasting from an LFC "fan" podcast.

The only improvement I could hope for is that TAW group gets more access to the club's inner workings to give us their perspective on it - would love to hear their take on what a training session was like or how our scouting system works or how our match analysis department puts things together. Maybe as TAW gets even bigger and more successful it might have more opportunities to do this.

Absolutely fantastic job from everyone - perhaps the biggest realisation that struck me was how incredibly poor "paid for" sources like papers, TV, radio journalists have been for discussing the club (although of course RAWK has helped with this too!). Given that news about LFC was the only reason i subscribed to most those things in the first place TAW is even saving me money!

Take a bow lads

I'm afraid I really don't have enough time to sit down and memorise the ages of 40 people. I'm not sure other people do either.

You aren't going to get perfection of that level anywhere.

Personally, I'd like to see TAW drop the negativity surrounding Adam and have a frank discussion about whether he could fit into Rogers system.

A few points on Adam, he has been really good on the ball against Roma and good against Toronto. In both games I don't recall him running into the back of someone and giving away a foul (something he took pleasure in doing last season).

Crucially, I believe Adam works his balls off. He wants to be at this club, it is a dream come true. Compare that with Aquilani, I think Adam would do anything to work in this
Liverpool squad whereas I doubt the same can be said for Aquilani given his disposition to Serie A.

Furthermore, I think TAW really does set the tone for the debate on Charlie Adam, and the negativity around him isn't helping his development.

This is not possible, as there are many extremely negative aspects of Charlie Adam's game which would have to be discussed.

Seems like you want a Charlie Adam Love-In. Not going to happen with such a limited player.

Can't see how anyone can criticise TAW.

1. Its fucking quality EVERY WEEK without fail.
2. It's FREE
3. It provides a real fans eye view
4. Its REAL, it's not polished and rehearsed.
5. It's honest
6. It's actually an education! It's really opened my eyes about football in the last 12 months and shown me that I don't know as much as I thought I did.

So I'd just like to say a big well done to all the lads involved. I've listened from day one and haven't missed one yet. It's a highlight of the week and always look forward to it.

If your too busy moaning about it, you clearly don't get it!

If it helps to make Adam a scapegoat at Anfield it sure as hell will. Having a crowd on your back doesn't help a players confidence.

Ok I'll take that.

I rarely slag 1 of our player off on here, but I certainly wouldn't do it at Anfield. The transition hadn't crossed my mind, people should make their own opinions not follow the RAWK trend, there are a lot of bellwhiffs on here.

I'm one who's still not sure Adam should be here next season. Ideally, for me, Allen will come in for him but I have to agree I find the lack of respect for a Liverpool player a bit odd. Especially one who clearly is delighted to be here and never gives less than 100%. Plus the other off-field stuff he does: countless interviews, always gives time to Liverpool fans on twitter, always poses for photos etc.

I think it may have been Andy who said of Poulsen "there's nothing wrong with not being good enough". Fair enough if you think Charlie's terrible but please remember that even Poulsen didn't receive this undercurrent of mockery this time last season. For a podcast (which I really, really like by the way) that continually discusses levels of intelligence in football this is one part of the show that comes across as thoroughly unintelligent.

Keep up the good work.

Erm, we aren't.

In regards to the age thing, the show isn't scripted, think its a little harsh to expect everyone in the room to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of every squad members date of birth.

They aren't journalists.
