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 Friday edition of the Liverpool Echo's Blood Red podcast, brought to you from our offices in the heart of Liverpool City Centre.

Big weekend ahead with the Reds

due to play Manchester City and Anfield on Sunday. I've got to tell you, I've got that Friday

feeling. I wonder if my guests today have as well. I'm joined today by the Anten Deck of Liverpool

FC Discourse. It's Tall Paul Gorse and the evergreen Ian Doyle. Ian, have you got that Friday feeling? I'm just trying to work out which one we'd be between an answer deck. I'll be honest. I think you'll be the joy of it. I thought it's still not which one's which. After all these years. Ant is the taller one. We would have to give that role to... Yeah, to ghosty.

That makes me a bit of a shorty, which I'm not really am, I, to be honest. Well, well, you're in good company with me, so don't worry about that. Hang on how tall are you? 5-8. 5.8. You're an in-betweener. That's a different show. Yeah. Have you got a Friday feeling? that was my question. No, because I've not finished work here.

When I've finished, I will have.

Well, hopefully you've not finished work here.

When I've finished, I will have.

Well, hopefully you've been in this room

with being ghosty will bring up your Friday feeling levels. What about yourself, Gorsdy? You're feeling good on Friday? No, not, no. Not overly. Spend too much time with Doily. you bring him down to his level and be too much audience.

I'd like to point out, I thought that the

echo officers were in Manchester because that's my

that's why I read all the time on social

media. really you've been cranked down to his level and be too much audience. I'd like to point out, I thought that the echo officers were in Manchester, because that's why I read all the time on social media, when I get told where I work, when I'm in Liverpool, and I get told I'm in Manchester, really. Well, you're not. I can confirm that. All the magic happens here in Liverpool, not down the East Lanks. So we can put that one to bed well and truly. Well, you know, a lot of people tune into this program to feel better about themselves, so I'm sure we can get that Friday feeling by the end of the show. It's definitely. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. You choose it to feel better about themselves. I'm not being, you know, I'm not trying to plug crunchies or anything like that. I was just going to say, I'm getting a crunchy of you on. So you might get that reference in a manner of a certain vintage. Of a certain vintage, yeah. I was going to call you the St. Grieves of Liverpool FC discourse, but I would only be appealing to a very minimal demographic. Before my time, yeah. Although, listen to this, right? I was watching the Big Mass Revisited recently. And it was Tottenham against Chelsea from 1975. And halfway through the second half, Tottenham fans start singing you'll never walk alone. Oh, that used to happen all the time. They used to happen all the time. 70s, all the United fans have been doing it. After year.

Yeah, it's only an 80s thing that it became just Liverpool. Really? Yeah. Well, a lot has changed in football at that time. Just a 51 years since that game. There's a good opinion piece for you. Bring you and have a walk alone back at Tomlin. We'll speak to our colleagues at

Football. London and see if they're up for that.

But before we know it, opinion piece for you. Bring you and have a walk alone back at Tottenham. We'll speak to our colleagues at Football. London and see if they're up for that.

Before we know it, Friday will be over and that feeling will have dispersed.

And so you will have a day off before heading to Anfield.

He hasn't.
