In this week’s episode of Scouser Tommies, Jim Boardman and Jay Reid try to get their heads around a mad 24 hours in Liverpool, after the Reds attempted to break the British transfer record only for a spanner in the works to reportedly try and mess it all up. At the time of recording nobody knew if the spanner would stop interfering and let the deal go through, or if the plastic rivals would be having flags printed to celebrate it as a victory, but it’s victories on the pitch that matter most, and those same ‘rivals’ are the first challenge for Klopp’s side this new season. Has the boss done all he could to get the lads ready, not just for this game but for the long slog ahead? It's also a good time for predictions, but there's no saying the predictions are any good.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back for another episode of Scouser Tommies, wondering if the chequebook is going to get any pre-season action before the best deals are gone and why the club seems to be rummaging down the back of the couch with the exit door worn off its hinges. Any more new faces will have a new captain and vice captain waiting to greet them, and a forward line who look raring to go, if pre-season is anything to go by. Which it often isn’t. Of course, across the park, they only seem to have an exit door, not that one particular person knows how to find it.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back to look at all things LFC from Liverpool, as the summer break is finally over. Well, sort of - the first pre-season game had finally come around, just five minutes after the last competitive game. But as Reds fans prepared for their first sight in Red of the two new boys, most eyes would be on their phones, waiting for the latest on the great midfield sell-off. Meanwhile, with one Premier League club already getting permission to delay their first home game, might Anfield also be on for a late start? It wouldn’t be the first time. As for the season proper, is it okay to get excited about it?
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back with another episode of the show from Liverpool about Liverpool. There’s a new pronunciation to learn as Dominik Szoboszlai joins the club, and a new away kit for him to wear next season. That kit is based on an old one, was it a good one to base it on and what memories does it conjure? With some iconic shirt numbers getting new owners, will they lift us to the same heights as their predecessors? Meanwhile, it’s all moody across the park but plenty of laughs for us as a famous West End producer refuses to leave the pantomime he created.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back for the latest episode of Scouser Tommies. The sun is out, the roads are melting, nobody can sleep and football is on a break. At least the 23/24 fixtures are out, so we know where we’ll be at Christmas and when we play the neighbours, but the list does remind us just how many games the Reds must do better in than last term. There’s been a new signing, as one supposed target heads elsewhere, but how much longer can Liverpool wait to complete the work on replenishing the squad? As always, that lot from across the park are providing plenty of laughs.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back for a look at all things Red from Liverpool. The last game of 22/23 was a 90-minute cameo of the season that went before it, but at least it’s all finally over now. Loads of goodbyes as contracts came to an end and players left for free, so is there any money for Jorg to get players for Jurg? As always, laughs from across the park as celebrations break out for finishing 17th out of 20.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back to discuss the goings-on at Anfield from Liverpool. With the season all over bar a bit more shouting - and a few more tears - it looks like the Reds found form a touch too late, but can they end the season with an unbeaten run that seemed highly unlikely not that long ago? If they do it’ll be no thanks to the wonderful officials of the English game, perfect as they are, bastions of integrity, impartial wherever they come from. Will the end of the season also bring the end of the derby, at least for a while, or will the dog-lifters escape again?
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid return to discuss all things LFC from Liverpool. The Reds’ run of wins goes on, but why did it take until now to happen? Curtis Jones continues to impress and Trent is revelling in his new-found freedom, does that change what’s needed in the summer window? Off the field, as the dust settles on the crazy Eurovision festival, are people finally starting to see what this place and its people are really like? And, as always, the neighbours are giving us plenty of laughs - and not just their YNWA fume.
In this week’s Scouser Tommies Jim Boardman and Jay Reid catch up on the wins against Leeds, Forest and West Ham and look ahead to the visit of Spurs. As one local lad has been getting attention for the freedom he’s been given on the pitch, another one’s quietly cemented himself into the starting line up. The unbeaten run puts a European spot safely into the Reds’ own hands, but is there hope of avoiding the Thursday night version? And of course, there’s always something going on across the park to raise a smile.
Jim Boardman, Jay Reid and Tony Evans are back to talk all things Liverpool from a local perspective and there is a lot to get through this week. Linesmen’s elbows, gambling sponsors, the Grand National, missed transfer targets and a former manager. Apart from that there’s plenty to say about what’s going on right now at Anfield, as well as a chuckle about the neighbours.
