Free Podcast: Rafa Rocks Rotten Reds

Another weekend ruined as Liverpool contrive once again to throw away a win with a painfully lacklustre and all to familiar display at St James Park. Having never recorded a win against a Rafa Benitez team, the Reds put themselves in pole position to take all three points thanks to a Phil Coutinho howitzer only to surprise absolutely no one by gifting Newcastle the softest of equalisers. Joining Neil Atkinson to pull on all the threads are Gareth Roberts, Mike Nevin and Melissa Reddy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Rider: Hungry Horace

Another guest. They don't stop coming. A few weeks back Ghostpoet joined The Rider over the phone for a lovely chat about Margate, his new album and the tour which accompanies it and we got stuck right in with him.

Free Podcast: Liverpool Mauled By Man City

A dreadful result but how bad was the performance? Well a couple of The Anfield Wrap thinks it was really rather abject from Liverpool against Manchester City and that both players and manager should be expecting more and better. Both the defence and the midfield three come under real criticism and the key decision of the game is discussed at length. Was Jon Moss right to send Mane off? Was it a terrible decision? Or just demonstrative of the balancing act referees have to go through? And what about Mo Salah's performance and half time substitution? To pick the bones out of all this and far more from the game for 80 minutes Neil Atkinson is joined by Philippa Smallwood, Mo Stewart and Stu Wright. We don't talk about 5-0 reverses on The Anfield Wrap so this one is unique. It had best stay that way. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Free Podcast: Rampant Liverpool Dismantle Wenger's Sorry Arsenal

A fantastic Liverpool performance against Arsenal has, in the eyes of the mainstream media become a story about Arsenal rather than one about the Mighty Reds. Not on The Anfield Wrap.
