Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

For our latest podcast we’ve picked up the phone to former Liverpool midfielder David Thompson, who tells Paul Wheelock about coming through the club’s youth ranks alongside the likes of Jamie Carragher and Michael Owen, and the pride he felt at going on to make more than 50 appearances for the first team. Thompson also talks the arrival of Gerard Houllier at Anfield and explains his decision and emotions at leaving the club in the summer of 2000. He went on to play his best football under Graeme Souness at Blackburn Rovers until a serious knee eventually led to him retiring early. Thompson speaks honestly about that, as well as giving his thoughts on the situation today's Premier League players currently find themselves in, asked to train and play while the country is still in the midst of the coronavirus crisis, and also his verdict of Jurgen Klopp, Jordan Henderson and the Reds side that is destined to become champions once football returns.The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.

Liverpool fans used to call Wembley 'Anfield South' given the amount of journeys their side used to make to the national stadium in the 70s and 80s. But for a number of Reds supporters, they hold just as fond memories of the trips that teams managed by Gerard Houllier and Rafa Benitez made to the Millennium Stadium at the turn of the 21st century while Wembley was being redeveloped. Two games stand-out in particular and given they celebrate their anniversaries this week, what better time to take a trip down Memory Lane for a double-header edition of our Liverpool Classics podcast. As not only do Guy Clarke and Dan Kay reminisce about the Michael Owen-inspired 2-1 victory over Arsenal in the 2001 FA Cup final, they also cast their mind back to the 2006 showpiece success over West Ham United in which Steven Gerrard produced a performance so good, and so talismanic, that the game will forever be remembered as 'the Gerrard final'.

The government has given the Premier League the green light to restart in June – and Liverpool could yet lift the title at Anfield. A 50-page roadmap was unveiled by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday that could permit ‘cultural and sporting events to take place behind closed doors for broadcast, while avoiding the risk of large-scale social contact,’ after June 1. The Premier League are planning to play the remaining 92 games behind closed doors at neutral venues that do not include Liverpool’s iconic home, Anfield. But reports have suggested more than half of the 20 top-flight clubs expressed opposition to the neutral grounds plan and have asked Premier League executives to petition the government to be permitted to play the rest of the capaign on the usual home and away basis. That would give Liverpool, who are just two wins away from securing the title, the chance to play their remaining four home matches at Anfield. Join host Guy Clarke, Paul Gorst, Ian Doyle and Matt Addison to discuss all that and more in the Blood Red podcast.
