In the latest episode of Scouser Tommies, Jim Boardman and Jay Reid pick their best-ever LFC XI to have played in a World Cup. The only rule is they had to be a Red when they played a game in FIFA’s magic money tree, so whether they were any good for their countries that summer (or winter) is another matter. Which formation do you go for, who do you leave out, and just how many amazing players don’t even qualify? Before that, there’s a quick look at what’s going on in Liverpool FC’s world right now, with some of the squad playing in a lucrative but meaningless tournament in the Middle East and the rest of the squad playing in another one just down the road.
In the latest episode of Scouser Tommies Jim Boardman and Tony Evans discuss the latest goings-on with Liverpool FC, including some insight and musings on the current owners, what is it that really motivates a footballer to pick one club over another, and some totally impartial analysis of past and present England managers, especially the one who briefly managed the Reds. As always, there’s also stuff to smile at from across the park.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid return for another episode of Scouser Tommies in the middle of the mid-season pre-pre-season. Their efforts to avoid going stir crazy in the midst of the Winter World Cup might be failing as talk turns to getting new signings out of the Argos book, but there is still loads of real Liverpool stuff to talk about. There’s a new club doctor, ex-Reds getting out into the managerial world, thoughts on the importance or otherwise of retaining the domestic cups and as always a splash or two from the free-flowing rivers of comedy from across the park.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back for another look from Liverpool at what’s going on with LFC. The Reds ended the first part of the season with a win against Southampton, but although things are finally turning around as the players head off into this unnatural break, have lessons been learned that might stop any of the rot from coming back? There’s praise for Liverpool from some unexpected quarters, an update of sorts on Club Ownership Saga 2022 and, as is the norm in these parts, more laughs at the larks from the narks across the park.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back to discuss the goings on in and around Liverpool with Liverpool FC. In a week that saw the Reds beat Spurs and Derby to keep their little winning run going, learn who they’ve got next in the Champions League and League Cup, find out who’s getting sent to Qatar for World Cup duty and even get put up for sale, there’s no shortage of stuff for Jay and Jim to talk about. Extra time might be needed to look ahead to the visit of Southampton, and the end of part of this stupidly interrupted season.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back for another episode of Scouser Tommies as the rollercoaster season continues for the Reds. Pyro is making a brief comeback in Liverpool, but it’s because Bommy Night’s looming, not Jurgen booming. Defeat against bottom three Leeds was followed by a win over all-conquering Napoli, so have Liverpool turned into a big game side - and is Spurs away a big enough game to draw a performance out of them?
Jim Boardman is joined for the first time on Scouser Tommies by Anfield Index’s newest columnist Tony Evans. With the recent increase in anti-Hillsborough chanting at home and away games, do the perpetrators realise the impact it has, not just on those they are targeting but potentially on people much closer to home for themselves? Also, just how far back can we trace ‘Scouse Not English’ - the feeling, not the slogan - and what does it really mean?
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back to despair over Liverpool’s defeat at Forest and to delight at the win over Ajax, but left wondering whether it’s going to be Jekyll or Hyde against Leeds and then Napoli. With Liverpool assured of the Champions League knockouts, maybe there’s room to rest some of the depleted squad, but was prioritising that to blame for the horror show by the Trent?
In the latest episode of Scouser Tommies Jim Boardman and Jay Reid look back at events from the last seven days, including a couple of much needed wins, more vile chanting from guests in our house, pathetic attempts to deflect from it all and an ex-Red going to a pub on his day off. There’s also a look ahead to the Reds’ next couple of games, as the relentless schedule continues.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back from the best city in the world to discuss the latest happenings in an eventful if not yet satisfying season for Liverpool. A loss down south was followed by a high-scoring win up north, and whilst Jurgen Klopp had already conceded the league title the win in Glasgow was enough for the Reds to get at least one foot in the Champions League knock-outs. Back to the league next, and what might have been billed as an early title decider - if it wasn’t for LFC’s stuttering start - is a huge test. Are the lads ready for it?
