David Thompson sits down alongside Sam Allardyce and Natalie Pike to discuss all things football from his time with Big Sam at Bolton to life growing up with Steven Gerrard & Jamie Carragher at Liverpool.

They start the pod by talking about their time together at Bolton Wanderers, the misconception around Big Sam's style of play and why crosses & big strikers are coming back into the game.

The trio then discuss in depth about Liverpool's current season including will Mo Salah return to Liverpool after AFCON, is Salah Liverpool's greatest ever Premier League signing and why so many players dip in form after signing a big contract.
