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.)

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, so Jim Boardman and Jay Reid get together for an almost festive edition of the show as they look forward to wall-to-wall football. It might give coaches and medical staff nightmares, but being part of a hungover Boxing Day crowd is a cherished tradition. With everything more weird than wonderful these days there might not be any crowds - or matches. Hopefully it won't come to it, but will TV money shout louder than competition integrity and player welfare? And what about fans, what do they want? That's a question the powers-that-be rarely ask, but in this case it's Jay and Jim wondering if it's worth playing at all if it's got to be in front of empty seats. Whatever happens, Merry Christmas - and you, Everton!

Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back to discuss the way former Reds usually get a warm Scouse welcome from the Kop whenever they return to Anfield with their new clubs. Not always, of course, but there aren’t many exceptions and when there are, is it deserved? Also, why are fans of other clubs so quick to boo their former players?

In this special edition of Scouser Tommies, Jim Boardman and Jan Gorski-Mescir discuss the career of Liverpool legend Ray Kennedy after his death qt the age of 70. Bill Shankly’s last signing, Ray would go on to be a key part of the Bob Paisley era, instrumental in the Reds making that step up from regular league title winners to regular European title winners. In Paisley’s words, Ray was “one of Liverpool’s greatest players and probably the most underrated”

Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back for another episode of Scouser Tommies and the subject this week is one close to both their hearts: doing the Mancs over at their own place! The two try to get to the bottom of why that rivalry is unlike any other for the Reds and recall some of their favourite encounters from the past. They also have a good old gloat at just how clinical the Reds were in that 5-0 win (when they weren’t just killing time playing keep ball) - something that much of the media forgot to mention in their condemnation of Manchester’s favourite driver!

RECOGNISING LEGENDS The return of Anfield Index's local take on all things Liverpool FC returns with Jim Boardman and Jay Reid discussing the impact of Mo Salah on the Reds' latest title bid and the risks that might come the longer his contract situation remains unresolved. Also, how does Mo rank alongside some of the Anfield greats to have gone before him - and can LFC do more to recognise those legends?
