Eddie Gibbs joins Jim Boardman as we continue our look at the back stories of familiar AI voices from around the world. With family roots on Liverpool's Scottie Road it was perhaps inevitable that Eddie would become a Red, but football wasn't the only sport vying for his attention growing up. With some thoughts on the season so far and some insight into Eddie's move into fan-media, the show is rounded off with Eddie's all-time greatest Liverpool XI. Were there any difficult decisions?
Mike Nevin is joined by Marc McColgan to discuss the culture around football programmes. They look at their favourites in their collections, and discuss the stories behind some too.
Gags and Dave are back and this week they finish off some subscriber questions that were sent in a while ago.
They firstly discuss the state of play as it is in their lives before quickly moving onto discussing whether or not FSG should look at players on free-transfers outside of the age range they usually purchase players in.
After a few segways as is normal on Old Skool they answer the second questions which was to select one Liverpool player from each year of the last 11 years to make a team. A lot of fun doing this one with some debate and tough choices to make!
Make sure you tune into the discussion on Old Skool!
Jim Boardman and Mike Nevin are back and joined this time by Marc McColgan, remembering fish-related chanting, hastily printed pink newspapers and Grandstand’s teleprinter. Also up for discussion is the consolation of a European Cup straight after the devastation of an FA Cup final defeat and a look at Liverpool’s oldest players.
Jim Boardman is back with Mike Nevin, talking this time about football on TV in the early days compared to now, and what might need to change in the future, especially with 3pm Saturday kick-offs. As usual, nothing is off-topic and much like McManaman in his LFC heyday, Mike and Jim make the most of the freedom to wander, passing like Barnes and Molby between YNWA without fans, commentators v goalkeepers and Andy Townsend's Tactics Truck.
Mike Nevin is joined again by Karl Koppack continue the discussion on Graeme Souness’s spell as manager.
The lads continue the discussion from the previous podcast, and get on to the topic of the 92 FA Cup and eventually Souness leaving the club.
Dave & Karl are back for another show, and this time the show stems from a Discord question. Make up a team based on players last transfer fee. They make a full team and bench. What would your team look like? Let us know on Discord or Twitter.
Kay, Guy & Tadiwa are back for a new series as they go through the fixtures that were originally scheduled and predict the results. In this episode they cover the fixtures that were scheduled for March 20th to March 22nd which included Liverpool v Crystal Palace & Spurs v West Ham.
In the concluding part of Jim Boardman’s chat with Reds legend Jim Beglin, the conversation continues with one of the most memorable seasons in Liverpool FC history, the 1985-86 season and the league and cup double in Kenny Dalglish’s first season as player manager. Liverpool FC’s Jim explains to Anfield Index’s Jim how that season unfolded and the determination in the camp to win that silverware, before reflecting on the following season and how it ended early for him in far less happy circumstances. The Irish international explains the difficulties he faced in the years that followed as he fought to regain his fitness, both at Liverpool and at Leeds, before taking a path he never expected to be on and into the world of broadcasting.
