Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back again from Liverpool for another look at all things Liverpool FC. The season’s well underway and it’s already looking like another weird one with a Reds team far from consistent - when games do go ahead. Meanwhile, many in Britain are mourning the loss of a monarch - apart from those who don’t particularly want to, and apart from those who are just pretending to, so they can try to score internet points over England’s best city and its best club’s fans. Time for Jay and Jim to set things straight.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back late from the summer break to discuss all things LFC in Liverpool. Talking of being back late from holidays, the lethargic start in the league from Klopp’s double-winning squad left the Reds way further back than most expected. It was enough to get the neighbours excited about being neighbours in the league table too. Darwin Nunez might be unavailable for a bit after his little indiscretion, but he’ll soon be back and, as Jay and Jim discuss, will be feeling at home at the club and in the city in no time at all. There’s also a little look ahead to this season’s Champions League, and one of the Reds’ shortest ever trips in the competition, to a city with much in common with Liverpool.
In this episode of Scouser Tommies, Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are still trying to make sense of what went on outside the Stade De France before and after the Champions League final, and the pack of lies UEFA and French officials used in a farcical attempt to cover their backs. The police started hostile and moved onto outright brutality, but Liverpool fans refused to be provoked, as difficult as that was when grown men dressed up as Robocop were attacking women, children and the disabled. Plenty for Jay and Jim to discuss, after more corrupt officials messed with the wrong city.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back to discuss the latest in this unforgettable Liverpool season and to look ahead as the Reds get set for Paris. The French Republic will be getting taken over by the Scouse Republic, who’ll be singing some proper anthems - to their team and maybe to their King (Kenny) - and hoping to see a third trophy lift of the season. Rumours of a second dog lift back home in the blue quarter of the city were unconfirmed at the time of writing.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back to discuss the latest goings on in and around Liverpool from a Reds perspective. There’s plenty going on too, the Reds adding Paris to their list of destinations for the season for what will be the third cup final. The cost of going to these finals isn’t getting any cheaper, in England or Europe, thanks to the very football authorities that condemned the ESL idea as pure greed. Is there anything we can do as fans to fix it? As for the football itself, what is it that makes Liverpool different to all the other clubs they are battling for silverware with?
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid return to talk all things Liverpool FC from a local perspective. It’s the eve of the derby and it’s a massive game for both sides, for very different reasons, and the feeling in the city in the run-up to it isn’t quite the same. The Blues aren’t the only big rivals The Reds have been up against recently, with the wins over both Manchester sides - City at Wembley and United at Anfield still fresh in the mind. Rivalries can go too far though, as fans of both those Manchester clubs have shown recently, so is anything going to be done about it or will it just be allowed to grow into something ever more toxic and damaging?
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back to discuss what’s going on with Liverpool in Liverpool. The city is buzzing with one of the largest events in the sporting calendar as well as all the big events in LFC’s packed calendar. Exciting times, although maybe not in every corner of the city, because we might be about to have the last Merseyside derby for quite some time. If the Reds do get the cup parade they are still owed, how’s that going to down?
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid look ahead to Liverpool’s first cup final this season, as Jurgen prepares his side for the trip to Anfield South and the League Cup Final. The old Milk Cup is one of four trophies the Reds still have a decent shout at, including the ‘bread and butter’ of the league title itself. There’s time to recall some memories of past cup final adventures, good and bad, and to talk about that famous Anfield atmosphere, also good and bad.
Jim Boardman is joined by Jay Reid as they discuss Liverpool’s last minute moves in the transfer window and what that might mean for the rest of the squad. They also share some ideas on what else you can do to make the most of a trip to Anfield - other than the bit where you’re actually watching the match of course.
There’s more to play for than league titles and European Cups, as Jim Boardman and Jay Reid discuss on the latest Scouser Tommies. The domestic cups may not have the financial pull and mega sponsors of their wealthier relatives, but nobody sings songs about gathering cheques in May. Nothing much in football raises the hairs on the back of the neck like seeing your club captain lifting a famous trophy, nothing much stops a city like the build up to a Wembley final. These are the memories you never, ever, forget. (Evertonians: you’ll probably need to ask your grandad about this.)
