Hello everyone, welcome to the Red Men TV. It is the buildup show. We are joined by Rob Gutman, the Anfield Rapsone.

Rob, very good to have you in. You've already been sitting down with Chris doing the newsroom podcast this morning. I have, very enjoyable. It's been far too long since we've had you in a more casual setting of the build-off. Is it the show I did with Diddy Hamann? in your front room, your back room, yeah.

That's a long...

We were younger men, we had hopes and dreams then.

Yeah. And fewer grey hairs and bags under the eyes. To be fair, you actually have an age since then. I have dramatically. I've got a good surgeon. Yeah. That's not dwell too much on this. Let's lot of the things that are going to age us tremendously.

That's Liverpool this season, Chris.

This is genuinely the maddest season already in that.

There's no easing in.

There's no like, oh, you know, we'll just build into the season.

It feels like every single game of football is the biggest game of football that we've got

because we've

set ourselves the targets of effectively going unbeaten this year.

And we kind of have to to beat Manchester City to the title.

Everybody will know that you finish above Man City this season.

You win the league.

The fact that they played before us in the last round of the games added a whole heap of

pressure that we'd not considered.

You're sitting there all weekend.

It's dragging so much and you're thinking to yourself, a drawer is not good enough.

And it's going to be the same this weekend.

I'm at the point now where I would happily do this baseball style, right?

And just play 38 games in 38 days, almost.
