The Anfield Wrap

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I searched for preexisting threads, but the two I found were both closed. I've only recently started to listen to it, and I've no idea what all the rest of the nonsense was about in the other threads, but I think it's rather decent. They seem to have their shit together and I enjoy listening to it.

 

The latest one - 'CITYTALK: PRE DERBY NERVES' - actually showed some of the lads have a decent knowledge about the game and a decent perspective. A point they made was about how the fans in the ground were reacting when, after 82 minutes, we were passing the ball about and keeping the ball patiently. About how Sahin was moving the ball around for a good two or three minutes, just working it through the midfield and defence.

 

The bottom line was that people seemed to really dislike it, and not understand why we were doing it. It's not something I've read much of on the forum, so it's good to hear somebody on the radio/podcast talk about it. If you're looking for something to supplement the TLW podcast, check it out.

I have listened to it for a few months now, I enjoy it.

 

Different to TLW podcast (which is equally enjoyable).

 

Neil Atkinson(the host) is worth listening to on his own!

 

Not sure why you don't think it is popular Hank, TAW has won numerous awards and I think recently won the best podcast in the UK for sport. It might be unpopular on here (and like you I don't know why), but I enjoy it and it is very popular elsewhere.

I listen to it every now and then, a few annoying habits from some of them that really grate me but I don't have the hatred some people on here do towards them, probably because I've never met them personally or paid much attention to them when they were on here.

 

Overall it is pretty decent and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

I don't think I mentioned its popularity, mate? Anyway, yeah, I agree. Neil Atkinson seems a'right to me. Only listened to a few, but I like it.

Fair enough.

 

I got it from "The bottom line was that people seemed to really dislike it".

 

But if we agree, we agree!

 

Huzzah!

[Randy Marsh]

Listen to it every week. I like it. It's not perfect and I didn't always agree with what's being said but its a good way to pass the time while playing Fifa or walking the dog. Neil Atkinson is very good as you've pointed out.

[Flying Pig]

I don't like it. The last one I heard was, I think, last Friday and the first 10 minutes was just the lads trying to be funny and failing. Also week by week, they seem to get moe cockier and then increase the amount of inane shite. Not for me.

[gingerhulk]

Andy heatons voice annoys me.

Sorry, rubbish use of a new paragraph is responsible for that. I meant that the crowd didn't like the way we were keeping the ball and passing it about.

[Gym Beglin]

I thnk it's fuckng boss, I download every episode.

 

Sorry.

[zigackly]

It's unpopular because Real Red never revealed the Facebook Momo on the MF.

One thing I believe they do which I'd like to do on ours is all be in the same place to record it. It's hard to get a proper debate on the go via a conference call.

 

That said, Numbers lives in the smoke and that's where his studio is. I like the way he hosts our podcast and wouldn't want to lose what he offers for what I mentioned above.

[Horus]

TAW is a great podcast. However, Rob Gutmann ruins it whenever he's on and needs binning.

Out of interest, what does he offer outside of the technical stuff? Personally, I'd much sooner Dave host it than Numbers. I also like it more when there's a few different people on there. I'd think about expanding it even more if possible.

 

I enjoy the podcast, though. That said, I'd enjoy just about anyone talking about the club.

If I can be so bold to say, I prefer TAW to TLWs podcast based on this sort of thing. It's more free flowing with them all sat face to face rather than with a slight delay on the phones and you cant see if someone is about to speak, I also prefer a group discussion, TLW to me seems to be Numbers asks Dave a question, then he'll ask the other person a question, then he'll offer a very short opinion or joke on the matter and move on.

Spot on! That Numbers is shite he offers nothing! The banter is miles better on TAW and you get to hear five or six peoples opinions rather than one or two's.

[Magic Sponge]

Andy Heaton sounds like he smokes 20 woodbines before each show.

 

I like it. All the lads know their onions.

[VladimirIlyich]

Having seen the look of them on 'being liverpool' it looks like a sci fi convention minus the uniforms.

I think he structures it well and draws out points on particular issues. Without that structure, it'd be a rambling mess. He's also started to through more opinions of his own in recently.

Harsh that. He offers his time and expertise for nothing in return.

[Guest ShoePiss]

Don't change TLW format at all in my opinion. Maybe open it up to more or rotating people but it's great as is. Numbers does a great job, I often find myself sticking up for him on here. He definitely adds to the podcast.

 

Same goes for TAW.

[Lee909]

I like both.

You need a GF portion of the podcast mind with a panel discussing the latest on the board.

[The Economist]

I really enjoy it. Balanced views, good discussion and a bit of banter. The lads all seem to have a good knowledge of football outside of their own club as well. Good listening for the Gym or long journeys too.

[Newport]

Both podcasts are great in their own way (although I miss having Alan on). If you don't like them, who the fuck cares?

[Rafiagra]

Yeah, Numbers is ace and should join in the debate more.

 

As for Anfield Wrap, it's always a good listen
