Ha, I thought the same listening to it, talk about putting the mockers on

[craiglfc7]

Yep it's the Glenbuck - defo call in and say hello.

The email today from Neil about Profit & Sustainability is a brilliant read. And the Miguel Delaney article he referenced was just as good.

Late to comment but it's only right I do. Superb.

We're not in a title race, we are the title race.

Neil is the business. While I enjoy Gutmans transfers (Congrats on becoming grandfather!), Mo, Gibbo, Paul Cope and everyone else on these shows, Neil really is the business. I've subscribed sine they started and i love being in on the journey with these lads.
Cheers TAW - love what you guys do.

[Ratboy3G]

cheers! heading to anfield for the first time in a couple weeks, would love to catch em

Enjoy your first visit 🚩🚩🚩

I've been a listener to TAW for as long as they have been going, and its the only Liverpool or indeed football podcast I listen to - its simply the best out there and their Friday show which covers more than just Liverpool deserves to be on 5-Live as much as anything the BBC does.

But I do feel like I need to mention that this weeks podcast opens with almost exactly 7 minutes of ads. Now I know they have to pay the bills, and I have never begrudged any podcast their ad time, but this to me is egregious. Its not like I'm going to stop listening or anything, but I think 2-3 mins of ads to open a podcast is more than enough.

[Kenny's Jacket]

I dont agree with everything they do, but adverts are harmless, and I think they have stated they try to pick ethical sponsors.

[Zlen]

My favourite part about TAW adverts is the amazing juxtaposition of...

..Greenking pubs - avoid streaming, enjoy footy...
...NordVPN, if you want hassle free streaming...

I've started skipping a few minutes as soon as the Greene King stuff kicks in, much like I do with any ads on YT etc. I understand why they have to have them but I just want to get straight to the footie chat!

I noticed that but two separate shows with different ads aren’t they? And I think they only have them on the free shows? All other podcasts have them, just a necessary ‘evil’ (obviously not that bad!) to help everything go out as we want.

They do some adverts on paid podcasts as well.
I don't really mind honestly, as long as TAW folks get to run their business and produce content it's fine.
Also they aren't advartising any horrible companies and they do it within reason and tastefully, often offering discounts and so on.

So all fine by me.

Yeah, only on the free shows, and on the paid feed the ads are only direct parternship agreements we have like Greene King etc, you don’t get the dynamic ads that are put in the ‘free’ feed

Cheers Andy.

And weirdly, you’ve just been posted on my work football WhatsApp by a Bristol City fan for that Eric Dier accent appreciation tweet.

[mattyyt]

Just read Neil’s email with tears in my eyes, that man always finds the words. Think I’ll need a dark room and a pint to listen to any of the upcoming content.

It’s days like this where you really appreciate having something like TAW and all the people involved with it.

[bradders1011]

Yeah Neil's email has removed some of the numbness and brought out the emotion, welled up at the end.

The reaction special was pretty raw not got round to reading the email myself yet.

[Kashinoda]

5 podcasts and a 80 minute YouTube live.

Simply phenomenal output in an emotionally draining day, it's helped me no end.

[ljycb]

Neil has done an episode of “Tales From The Press Box” with Neil Jones (link here: https://youtu.be/Qa_EzHko9GM?si=ETWhzLAw0-1dcAIL). It is an unsurprisingly brilliant listen and has really cheered me up this morning.

[kavah]

The Friday night. Bloody hell that was good. I needed it. Joyful, celebratory, magic, Funny. Nice one all

One of the best things about the Anfield Wrap is the way - broadly speaking - they don’t pursue online narrative de jour. It’s very rarely an extension of the Twitter-space where conspiracy and outrage dominate while good sense takes a backseat. TAW is often an oasis of sound opinions and reason - even when you may be at odds with a particular perspective. Although it’s fan media so it’s allowed to be emotional and reactive when stuff kicks off. In this respect, it’s got the Klopp reaction absolutely nailed. No daft theories or catastrophe. Just people reacting sensibly and normally. Has certainly offered me good counsel over the past day.

[MDougal]

Fantastic content (wish it wasn’t needed obviously) over the last day or so.

A question about the app….is anyone having any issues using the app. I noticed the day before the Klopp news so it doesn’t seem related to more traffic etc.
When I’m using the app it’s taking a long time to click into the different shows etc and then the same to be able to press play etc?
Like a strange amount of time to do anything?

Didn’t he apologise/explain that? Also, not sure saying something like that actually defines your entire personality.

He apologised, I didnt buy it.

I've stopped getting most notifications for audio shows apart from the odd one.

[red_Mark1980]

On the reaction to Klopp, I'm in a slightly odd situation (and I'll add now that this isn't me posting for sympathy or in any sort of holier than anyone way).

My mum's funeral was on Monday, and the immediate days after were very hard.

So initially hearing the news on Friday I was "oh please, not this week"

However after a relatively short time I'd realised that it's (for me at least) come at not the worst time

I'm devastated he's leaving, but ultimately he couldn't stay forever and coming in the month mum passed away has brought some perspective. This isn't me having a go at anyone who's feeling absolutely awful, but it's weird hearing people describing like he's dead.

He's a man (a great man) who has decided he's had enough of his job. It won't be the same without him, but the club remains.

[Zlen]

My condolences man.
Hope you find some peace and comfort in your family.
