Jim Boardman and Mike Nevin are back, wondering this time if it’s okay to get a little bit excited that the football is about to return. Where would be best for The Reds to clinch Title 19 in the year of Covid 19? Would some club’s players even notice their games were being played behind closed doors? Can Liverpool afford to splash £50m on players in the current climate? And how would a Scouse Nan let you know you’d driven her up the wall?
Jim Boardman is joined this time by Guy Drinkel for special episode looking at Guy’s journey to becoming a Red from a distance and how even the Hodgson era wasn’t going to get in the way. There’s time to discuss the heavily paused season so far and how it might play out now there’s a glimmer of hope of it actually being played. Jim also asks Guy for his All Time LFC XI - will there be any surprises?
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?
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.
Jim Boardman and Mike Nevin return for another virtual walk around the streets of Liverpool, stopping off at Jack Sharps, Home and Bargain and Woolworths - but never quite getting to wherever it was they set off for. Charlie Adam's Blackpool, an Igor Biscan banner and Ryan Babel’s favourite referee get brought into the conversation, along with this week’s tips on stuff to search for on YouTube.
Trev Downey joins Jim Boardman for this show as we continue our look at the back stories of AI contributors from around the world, a chance to compare notes on supporting the Reds from near or far. What - or who - made Trev fall in love with the team in Red, and how easy was that from a distance? We also discuss Trev's route into fan media - and then it's time for him to reveal his all-time greatest Liverpool XI. Will there be any surprises?
Jim Boardman and Mike Nevin are back, trying to find the positives of footy behind closed doors and wondering what happens to George in that case. With a legendary Liverpool city centre recording studio set to be demolished, and memories of the "New Anfield" that never was, they ponder if there's more to a building than the bricks and mortar, especially when it comes to football stadia.
Jim Boardman and Mike Nevin think up ways to have post-match parties at a safe social distance when the footy comes back - and wonder just how empty these behind-closed-doors games might be. Also, do we need to hold back the YNWA now and again?
