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.
In the opening half of Jim Boardman’s chat with Liverpool left-back legend Jim Beglin, Anfield Index’s Jim speaks to Liverpool FC’s Jim about his journey from local schoolboy football in Waterford to becoming Bob Paisley’s last ever signing for the Reds and breaking through into the first team. The Irish international talks fondly about his early days in the sport and that first professional contract, how his move to Anfield came about and how the boot room schooling prepared him not only for his emergence as a regular in the first team but for the ups and downs that were to follow, including a season that ended in tragedy.
Guy hosts this one and is joined by the usual duo Dave & Karl as they do a draft of under 25 players that could be a top team/players for years to come. The podcast idea stemmed from a Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher draft segment from Sky Sports news, but ours has more of a draft format so no duplicate players in each others teams, and has to be an actual functioning team rather than cramming in as many forwards as possible. Who's team did you like the best, what would your team be? Let us know on Twitter or on Discord.
Mike Nevin is joined again by Karl Koppack and Jim Boardman to discuss Graeme Souness’s spell as manager.
We hear the case for both sides. Mitigation, litigation; just need for meditation.
A story of mental and physical health, unhappiness, some joy and doctors with restraining orders.
Was our greatest ever midfielder (sorry, Steve) and unparalleled leader guilty beyond reasonable doubt?
We open the casebook in part 1 of The Souness Years.
Dave and Karl are back for another show, in this episode, they continue the series of creating and discussing XI's from a league in it's best decade. This one they go through La Liga in the 2010's, obviously Ronaldo & Messi would be in the team, so the pair have decided to leave them out to make the teams more interesting.
