Just finished the latest Parker novel, A River Red With Blood by @jconnollybooks.bsky.social. Absolutely brilliant: pacy yet substantial, with a great plot and the incredibly satisfying drawing together of loose threads, some from many years ago. One of those where you’re gutted to finish it.

@quellist1.bsky.social Just finished No Man’s Land & absolutely loved it. I’ve read (& enjoyed) everything of yours but this hit as hard AC first did: gritty, compelling & completely immersive with brilliant world building that seems utterly plausible. Badly want to read more of Duncan’s exploits.

Smithy back in @theguardian.com but with his Red head on. Check it.

Just recorded with @theliverpoolway.bsky.social pod with Dave and Stu (@simianjustice.bsky.social) on the Frimpong signing, the prospect of more in quick order and reflections on everything that's happened the weekend ... both the heartbreaking and the heartwarming. Check your feeds soon.

Pod with Chris, Stu and myself on the Frimpong signing and some reaction to what happened on Monday. theliverpoolway.podbean.com/e/frimpong-s...

Get onto our boy Chris’ take on yesterday in both immediate video and more reflective written versions.

About to record the @theliverpoolway.bsky.social pod with Dave & Chris in a few mins. I know there was a game today but it feels like the football will be very much a side issue after what was, for many, their worst ever experience of Anfield. Might be AM before it drops. @bychrissmith.bsky.social

Pod with me and Chris on today's Trent news theliverpoolway.podbean.com/e/trent-alex...

Just finished recording. As you'd expect from the TLW Seniors, we went off on a few tangents about styles of play and transfers and where Slot might take the team next. Dave will upload it soon-ish. Check it out.

About to record the @theliverpoolway09.bsky.social pod with Dave after the irritating but ultimately meaningless defeat at Stamford Bridge. Hopefully up later this evening if you're into LFC podcast masochism...

If you would like your Champions Winning content laced with Star Wars, murder mysteries, chippies, Puffa jacket usage and Chris' possible OnlyFans then you've come to the right place.

Follow up pod basking in the glow of number 20. Myself, Chris, John B and Stu on this one. theliverpoolway.podbean.com/e/champions-...

Obviously as a mate, you’d expect me to say this, but I really urge you to check out Chris’s writing. In a world of highly analytical football writing, the love for Liverpool in Smithy’s work shines brightly. Get on it and help a good Red turn this into something special.

Welcome to my 'Always Liverpool' newsletter. The first 2 posts are free! My greatest hope is it becomes part of my livelihood, as I dedicate time and love. If you've enjoyed my writing, and what we do @theliverpoolway.bsky.social Podcast, I'd love your support if you find value. Now, about Sunday...

And here's the "why" for starting Always Liverpool. I lost my largest writing gig after 11 years. I'm fucking scared, but invigorated by the opportunity to finally be true to myself. I write from in here ❤️ so I'm taking a shot at the reason I picked up a pen – to write about this football club.

Hey, @theliverpoolway.bsky.social pod listeners. In the next 24 hours or so I’m gonna be launching something which, for me, is hugely exciting – spending much more of my time writing about Liverpool again. I’m hoping you’ll join me. Stay tuned!

Finally finished editing the pod, off to bed now as it's been quite a day hasn't it? Enjoy!! theliverpoolway.podbean.com/e/liverpool-...

Update: Voice note contributions from Brownie and Terry too. Surprisingly, Brownie's is not only coherent, but very moving as well. And T jumps in with a bit of a name drop. Boss, this. Absolute pleasure to be mates with these boys and share in the title winning joy with them.

We're a good hour in, currently: me, Dave, John & Dan with Jules and Chris jumping in. Very enjoyable chat so far about the atmosphere, the celebrations and the goals. No doubt we've got plenty more miles to go. Hopefully it'll be up tonight. Check it.

Recording the @theliverpoolway.bsky.social pod in about half an hour or so where we’ll discuss Liverpool becoming unequivocally England’s greatest and most successful club again. Altogether now: “Champions! Champions! Champions!”

Shorts on for Number Twenty!!! @sachinnakrani.bsky.social?

This you @juleswithnoname.bsky.social?

Once again Dave opened by saying, "This'll be a pretty short one. We should be able to wrap it up in about an hour". Listener - we didn't. West Ham, Slot, contracts (all 3), spoilt bastards & more. Dave will upload it tonight and then he's off for a well-earned early night.

Just about to start recording the @theliverpoolway.bsky.social pod with Dave and John after the "challenging" West Ham game. Hopefully it'll be up tonight. Check it.

Jules absolutely fucking nailing it with his opening bit on here, with boss literary references, too. Henry Selby Jr? Existential ennui? The Reds are fucking shit right now? Only on the @theliverpoolway.bsky.social pod. @juleswithnoname.bsky.social @bychrissmith.bsky.social

Terry stepped up to the plate to join me and make sure we got this out as early as possible. Enjoy! theliverpoolway.podbean.com/e/liverpool-...

America should be broken up. Partitioned between Canada and Mexico. It's a failed state. Clearly unable to govern itself. Anyone who pretends otherwise is in denial.

Leonardo DiCaprio leads Paul Thomas Anderson's latest film, One Battle After Another. Ahead of the full trailer arriving next week, you can watch the teaser here: www.empireonline.com/movies/news/...

Happy birthday to the one and only Spike Lee

This is really good by Barney and not surprisingly has been jumped on by some Newcastle fans as another case of ‘cartel journalism’. They, and everyone else, should perhaps actually read the piece before criticising it given its nuance, sympathy and important broader views.

Really wasn’t in the mood to record this at all, as I know I’d have said things I’d subsequently regret. So fair play to the lads for doing so.

Here's the pod me and Chris recorded last night theliverpoolway.podbean.com/e/liverpool-...

Ha, ha, ha!!!

Pod from today with me, Paul and Jules theliverpoolway.podbean.com/e/liverpool-...

Just finished recording. Plenty covered including the game of two halves, Slot's approach to rotation, the CL 2nd leg and some good news about Stuuuu Montaguuuuu. THWMIF says he'll post it up tonight. Look for it in a bit.

Recording @theliverpoolway.bsky.social pod with Dave & Jules in a bit, after we went 16 points clear in a game of wildly contrasting halves. Look out for it later tonight/in the morning/when the... *Checks notes* ..."hardest working man in football" can be arsed. @juleswithnoname.bsky.social

@sachinnakrani.bsky.social Noice.

Alisson Becker tribute pod from last night with me, Chris and Dan. theliverpoolway.podbean.com/e/psg-0-live...

@theliverpoolway.bsky.social - giving the people what they want on all things LFC for over twenty five years.

Jules and Dave recording the @theliverpoolway.bsky.social pod right now following last night’s impressive win over Newcastle. Look out for it soon. @juleswithnoname.bsky.social

Proud to announce my third book, The Man With Too Much Money. Hoping to release this in the next 2-3 weeks.

Come for Stu’s gritted teeth Mo praise… …and stay for Chris’s John Motson impression.

Pod from last night with me, John G and Paul. theliverpoolway.podbean.com/e/aston-vill...

Just finished recording. Dave will share it in the morning.

About to record the @theliverpoolway.bsky.social pod with Dave and John after the draw with Villa. Lots to be frustrated about, but not a bad point for me by any means. It'll be up later if Dave is able; if not, deffo in the morning.

My Inter Miami 2025 season preview for @theguardian.com. Global challenges, new coach and everyone's another year older. It might be now or never for this team.

Just finished recording the @theliverpoolway.bsky.social pod with Dave after a nervy Anfield saw a less than impressive Liverpool beat Wolves 2-1 to take our lead back to 7 points with 13 to play. Should be in your feed later this evening. Check it.

Pod from last night with me, Chris and Brownie theliverpoolway.podbean.com/e/everton-2-...

Big fan of JB’s confident assertion about Mo’s place in the team… Check it. @bychrissmith.bsky.social
