What I've dedicated my life to is revenge. A brand new drama based on the best-selling novel. They think they're better than us. Who do you think you are? I'm going to prove to them that they're wrong. She's punishing me. You destroyed my family. I will not rest until I've destroyed yours. A woman of substance on Channel 4 starts tonight at 9. Liverpool were absolutely terrible. It was a complete waste of time, was it? Let's be honest. Yesterday was as bad as any of the nine defeats that Liverpool have had this season. In terms of the tactics and the strategy, it's being made up which we go along now. There are a bit of a laugh and stock at the moment, aren't you? Are you suggesting that the players aren't trying? I think they're down tools for the manager.

This is the Blood Red podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

A very good afternoon and welcome to this Monday edition of the Blood Red podcast, coming to you as ever from the Liverpool Echoes, offices in the heart of the city centre. Well, Liverpool moves up to fifth in the Premier League yesterday, with a

one-one draw against Tottenham Hotspur. And thanks to UEFA's coefficient system, fifth place

could be enough to guarantee Champions League qualification next season.

Liverpool only have eight games left to play with matches against Manchester United's and Chelsea.

So it's all in their own hands.

And if you think I've sugar-coated my introduction, you'd be absolutely correct.

I am joined today by a stellar line-up.

Back in the swing of things is Paul Gost.

Paul, good to see you recovered from your recent illness.

So am you feeling better?

Yeah, well, hell, slightly better.

I wasn't until Sunday afternoon anyway.

But yes, back on the pod, back to talk about the good times.

That's what we can call them.

There's nothing not, are they?

You could have coded it even well well by saying they got a point against the Europa League winners. Do you know what? In my practice running my head, I did actually say that. I've forgotten, but I was to know we were on the same page. Also here, ready to pull out the bits and Bobbs is Ian Doyle.

Good to see you back in the room here and it's been a couple of weeks I think actually.

And it will be more weeks after this as well.

Well, yeah.

Well, we'll cherish you whilst we can.
