Yeah enjoyed it. State of that PSG fan though.

Adam Smith has too much time on his hands, judging by Ban This Filth.

He also looks very much like Bruce Grobbelar looking at the thumbnail for the Sanj Shetty interview. :D

Overview show great, and that one free one on video where they got two footed on everton and united.

"If you cant beat Watford at home you don't deserve to win the league"   :butt

Surely TAW needs to do better than Kev Walsh, I wish they would limit him to an AFQ or Talking Reds,

I agree with both sentiments. He drives me crazy, but I agree with his statement. At this time you can not win this league without beating the likes of Watford at home. Most likely. If we lose out by a point or two the first matches that will be singled out will be matches we failed to win at Anfield.

The 10 minutes 10 topics or w/e it was called was great. Seems a great outlet for Nile's, apparent, boundless energy for which I am very grateful.

if you lose at home to Crystal Palace you dont deserve to win the league either then , so when the presentation ?

Never said anything about deserving. I suppose I should have said very unlikely not to win the league. If we do not beat Watford we will most likely need win away at Man City. There is more than one way to skin a cat after all, but some are easier than others. This forum has a weird thing with absolutism.  :wave

Thought the TAW Live show this week was one of the most enjoyable shows I've listened to in a long time.

The two inserts were brilliant and could have listened to Peter and Thommo for hours, and the sections either side were great too

Top class content.

Yes, really great content this week especially the Gutter, Overview, and Live. Special mention for Ian Ryan hosting Team Talk and hope he keeps that spot for a while; more probing and some respite from the recent outbreak of ‘living our best lives’ yada yada. What a month ahead.

One of the best things about the Anfield wrap is they have a fairly good cross section of contributors, be boring as fuck if they were all the same, Kev Walsh earns his place, would hate to listen to podcasts where everyone was just agreed with each other and got everything right all the time.

One thing Ive noticed, is there seems a reluctance to call out wild shouts when they happen, Rob never got called out when he wanted Klopp gone, they did take the piss out of him on later shows when he wasn't there but not at the time. They must have concluded that arguments/heated debates dont make for good listening. Maybe they're right?

Think Neil has made the point on a few occasions that referring to something on Twitter is all well and good but it isolates any listeners who don’t have social media. But in a general sense, yeah, it’s probably to do with an aversion to high levels of confrontation. Always used to do my head in how Mike Nevin was allowed to spout some of the nonsense he did about Klopp pre-2018, but I can understand it now.

TAW is at its best when it features views that are as diverse as the supporter base. It would lose some of its shine if it was all similar views. Allow mad, common shouts to be debated.

He did it was after the Fulham defeat I think, it was either that or the Leicester game but either way he was clearly a bit drunk and probably feeling as depressed as most of us were at that point.

As ever lots gets made of it (and don’t get me wrong he was rightly taken the piss out of for it) but the reality is when people talk about things they’re passionate about it isn’t always going to be the most sensible comments that get made, the fact that he has a microphone in front of him doesn’t change that.

Nah I know that; it just reminded me of a year ago when people were massively overreacting to it.

I don’t get why anyone has an issue with Walsh either though, he’s sound enough, it would be boring if everyone was the same.

On Rob's advice I went to Kirkby Lonsdale the other week after a drive up to Ribblehead. Beautiful little town, couple of lovely pubs.

But I'd love to know what specifically he loves about it.

Long term subscriber and big fan. Agreed on diverse views. I actually find if anything there’s too much consensus on shows and people don’t disagree with Atkinson for example too much! Or it seems like similar points are parroted across various shows.

When we were struggling there was far less consensus both on TAW and on here because the big questions were far more open. Football wise, were we heading in the right direction? You could see Klopp was improving things but he hadn't built his great team yet, there were real bright patches but still loads to do, that Spurs away game, there were loads of space for arguments and disagreement. Off the pitch we'd just fought Hicks and Gillete, rightly we weren't ready to be fooled again, it was fluid not easy to call, the Sunderland walk out, FSG, loads to get angry about loads of different ideas competing for dominance. Money was talking more and more and we knew we were hanging on by fingernails to the top four. We weren't going to get too many more chances to get it right, that clock had been ticking for a long time, we were balancing on a knife edge, no wonder we were looking for signs that our believes were right and then arguing them to the nth degree.


Contrast that to today, FSG are looking the best of a bad bunch, the Anny roads growing every game, spirit of Shankly have an in to the club, things are looking chilled on the ownership front, whisper it quietly but my season ticket hasn't gone up for a few years, still extortionate but I was genuinely thinking I was being priced out with some of them pre Sunderland raises. Football wise, we are either the best team in the world or at worst the second best, we've got a great team a great manager, so of course there is less disagreement and more of a consensus amongst fans and that's going to be reflected on TAW. Rob Guttman gets pissed and spouts some shite, it's not as if none of us haven't done that, have we, but most rightly just laughed at him knowing he'd drank too many bottles of wine, must have been some night out to start questioning Klopp, three years ago that would of split TAW down the middle.


Last thing I want  on TAW is artificial disagreements to spark interest, if they come up because they're genuine great but a noisy mess no thanks, I like the diverse contributors on TAW, think it's a proper strength, I just think that if you like that then you have to accept that there will be some contributors who you relate to more and some who you're not into as much and that  your favourites will often be different to other listeners, that's the price to pay to get such a wide view. I don't just want to listen to old Scousers like me who've been going the match for years, profile wise I'm probably most like Damien but with total respect to Damien it would bore the arse of me if TAW just had the likes of us on. I want to listen to fans like my young daughter who goes the match with all my mates and holds her own


I don't like seeing the slagging off of individual contributors on here, it's arl arse and not what this thread should be about, there are one or two contributors who I don't particularly rate as much as the others but last thing I'd do is mention them on here because I want to see a wide variety of contributors and wanting that means me accepting I can't agree with them all.

Great post, with a lot of sense in it - thanks. One subtlety I would add is that preferring some contributors over others can be down to the quality of the analysis they bring, not just whether you agree/disagree with them. Diversity in quality is not necessarily the price to pay for diversity of views.

Just listened to the Team talk. Excellent stuff.

Robbo is one of my favourite contributors as he seems most aligned with my own views and takes discussions in the direction I'm most interested in.

All the contributors were great today - slightly low-key as neither manager had much to say and the nerves are clearly kicking.

Also, whilst I'm hear I really appreciate all the thought and hard work that goes in to The Report from Neil.
