joining me today is not our full-time Liverpool reporter James Pierce

both home and away he's actually at home with me instead yes With me instead, our LFC editor Andrew Kelly and Neil Jones

echo scribe. Hello boys. Hello, how you doing? I'm okay.

I'm considering.

Yeah, Andy, I think the answers to the question for you is freezing probably still.
