Hello, it's the Weekender Show and I want to start by saying weekend,

you walk the same way. I see you every day, you walk the same way, weekend that.

If you know what that is, tweet me and tell me because this weekend that is sponsored by

90s indie and I'm here very pleased about that. We've got some 90s indie exclusives coming up later on in the show

because me and John Gibbons spoke to the mighty Tim Burgess from the charlatans and I got very excited

and acted like a 16 year old.

We were talking to Tim's Twitter listening parties,

which are absolutely boss.

I've had a go, you should have a go as well.

We've also got Steve Rotherham on there. We're going to be talking to him about a new scheme launching in Liverpool to help out people who need help during the coronavirus crisis. You can help too. There's particular appeals around that, I think, towards football fans and things like that.

So John's got a section with him coming up later in the show. But before all that, in this section,

we're meant to be talking about sort of what's going on right now.

I've had a look and it's boring the ass off me to be perfectly honest with you

I mean there's more leaks from unknown people in the Premier League ahead of a

Premier League meeting tomorrow.

It seems more self-serving stuff that we've talked about before.

I'm going to save that, not least because we've got a talk on Reds in the morning and

we're going to need something to talk about them.

I'm saving that for that and on this instead I thought we'd have do something a bit light and a bit nice and something a bit different

So in this section of the show we are going to be talking about the mighty Raffa Benitez who was 60

years old today so happy birthday Raffa lad and what I wanted to do was switch things
