Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Liverpool resume their Premier League title challenge this afternoon when they travel to Vicarage Road to take on Watford.
Jurgen Klopp’s unbeaten side will be favourites to bring the three points back to Merseyside and kick off a very important week in the best possible fashion.
After all, they are yet to drop a single point to a side currently sitting outside of the top six.
But the guest of our Preview podcast makes it clear that Watford, who are seventh after their best ever start to a Premier League campaign, will be no pushovers.
David Cameron Walker is the football editor at TalkSPORT as well as being a big fan of the Hornets.
And he gives us the inside track on the men to watch out for in Javi Gracia’s side - including the player Reds legend Jan Molby would love to see at Anfield.
You also hear from our own James Pearce, who was at Melwood on Friday afternoon for Klopp's press conference.
Enjoy - and we'll be back this evening with the Post-Game podcast. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

In a Blood Red podcast special, Paul Gorst sits down with WWE wrestler and Liverpool supporter Zack Gibson to talk following the Reds and working for the world's biggest wrestling company.
Liverpool-born Zack explains how his love of the Reds became incorporated into his act on WWE television on NXT, and reveals why he came up with the name of his painful submission finisher, the 'Shankly Gates'.
There's also a lesser-known-move, the 'Phil Babb Suplex', which hilariously pays homage to an infamous incident involving the former Liverpool defender.
Life on the road with NXT is discussed at length as Zack touches on his Maghull-based wrestling school, which aims to create the next generation of Scouse superstars in the squared circle.
Zack also talks working as a top star in NXT UK and what it will be like when he returns 'home' to wrestle on the card at the Liverpool Olympia shows this weekend.
For Liverpool-supporting wrestling fans, it's a must-listen

It's coming up to two weeks since the Redmen were last in action, but the latest Allez Les Rouges podcast, hosted by Peter Hooton, and featuring regular guests Kieth Culvin, Ste 'Mono' Monaghan and John Nicolson, has a lot to get off its chest.
It starts on a positive - and the amazing efforts of Reds supporters and the LFC Foundation in raising £60,000 for Sean Cox, the fan who was left in a critical condition after being attacked outside Anfield before the Champions League semi-final first leg with Roma in April.
'Mono', Kieth and the Spirit of Shankly supporters' group welcomed Sean's brothers, Martin and Peter, to a special ceremony at Liverpool Town Hall on Saturday, and we hear from them on the podcast.
It is an inspirational story of supporter solidarity.
Sadly, the feelings of fans were not taken into consideration when the Premier League took the universally unpopular decision to hand a £5m golden handshake to outgoing chief executive Richard Scudamore.
The lads believe the league, and its member 20 clubs, including Liverpool, have scored a massive 'own goal', and wonder what the fallout will be in the future, especially if there is a rise in ticket prices.
They also discuss the impending introduction of VAR to the Premier League before talk turns to two Reds players who have been starring for their respective countries over the international break.
Liverpool are back in action this weekend, at Watford, and looking at the fixtures, the panel have the feeling this could be a pivotal weekend in a title race in which the margins for error are smaller than ever. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

A true Liverpool great is the special guest of our latest podcast.
John Toshack has been back in the city this week to promote his new book, Toshack's Way: My Journey Through Football.
And the man who won three First Division titles, two UEFA Cups and an FA Cup at Anfield granted an audience to our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce.
The duo talk Toshack's eight years on the Red half of Merseyside during the 1970s, from turning down Bobby Robson to his memorable first meeting with Bill Shankly at Liverpool Lime Street train station, and from how his first of 96 goals for the club made him an instant fan favourite to his legendary strike-partnership with Kevin Keegan.
Toshack makes it clear throughout the podcast just how much of an influence Shankly, Bob Paisley and Joe Fagan had on his own management career, which saw him take Swansea City from the Fourth to the First Division in the space of four seasons and to winning the title with Real Madrid in Spain.
The 69-year-old also reveals just how close he came to becoming Liverpool manager and the pain he felt at missing out on the job he seemed destined for.
Toshack also gives his verdict on Jurgen Klopp and the current Reds cross, and the paramount importance of winning that first trophy. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
