It is the Anfield Rap with a special looking ahead to Liverpool women's season as a whole.

Looking at the business that's been done over the course of the summer what needs to

happen next but also getting excited about this first game coming up against

London City, Lionesses, at Prenton Park on Sunday at 2 PM you'd best be

there, we're gonna be there and the we in this instance is near Atkinson obviously hello John Gibbons

Amy Lawrence from Red Men TV and Philip Smallwood here is Philip Smallwood but also doing a lot of good work with

the Supporters Club as well around Liverpool women and we'll get stuck into it and the first

thing to say Philippa is I'm very eager for as many people as possible to come to

the game on Sunday and there's loads of reasons why it's a good standard of football that they'll get to see.

It's also the idea that it's good for families, it's good for people who struggle to get to the game in general.

It is watching a Liverpool team and we should want all Liverpool teams to succeed.

But the main reason for me, Philip, it is all business.

The way in which women's football is only going to go in one direction across the next

five or ten years, and Liverpool Football Club have

somewhat missed the boat they are not in the WSL they need to get promoted that starts on

Sunday it is serious serious business.

Yeah absolutely with everything that's happening in the women's game now the way

that it's taking off. The fact that it's going to be on the BBC, which I think is going to

really enhance, you know, the popularity of the sport basically I think it's a place where

Lofpool need to be and they you know they have to be in there unfortunately you

know at the moment they're not. They didn't manage to get themselves promoted last season.
