Hello, it's John Givens hosting this week and I'm joined by Adam Smith, by

Allison McGovern and by Carl Koppak to talk about what's been going on in Liverpool's week and obviously to look back to Madrid and look ahead to Aston Villa.

We've also got a couple of really nice insights for you, Lizzie Dorspung to the director of culture for Liverpool.

Claire McColgan on pilot events and things coming up in the city

as we get back going and hopefully soon welcome lots of you from outside of the city to Merseys.

And then I spoke to Rod Dixon about Home Make the Musical,

which is very exciting and it's got a bit of a tour back story as well,

which is a fun thing to talk about some of you to look forward to

concerned that some people seemed to be kind of dismissing Grey al Madrid really

really easily you know really out of hand kind of they're all now, you know, we'll just leg them everywhere,

and blah blah blah.

And then when the manager said in his press conference,

He knows how to put players behind the ball like Marigno and stuff.
