The Rider has all the chaos you get used to this week. And still no

Elsewhere Neil Atkinson, John Gibbons and Stephanie Heneghan work through the week's issues, much of which are terrifying and distract with some good songs. Some great songs in fact.

Here they are:

Missy - I'm Better

The songs are all bangers this week. All killer. No filler. Except the wham. Which gets talked up.

As does aborted stargazing, Chinese Supermarkets, The Doomsday Clock (now out of date).

Neil Atkinson hosts with John Gibbons and Stephanie Heneghan all do the business.

GARETH Roberts, John Gibbons, ESPN’s Liverpool FC reporter Glenn Price and Rob Gutmann have an unscripted chat about the Reds’ number 15.

Was the striker’s performance against Southampton in the League Cup semi final another signal that his time at Anfield could be coming to an end or should we be more patient with the goalscorer?

Has Sturridge’s game changed or is he too conscious of trying to impress Jürgen Klopp?

And with Sturridge now 27, and among Liverpool’s top earners, can either party afford for him to be a squad player?

What can be said about Liverpool's defeat to Swansea? It's as much therapy session as podcast with Rob Gutmann, Paul Cope and Chris Maguire. Three men in search of meaning, in search of encouragement, in search of finding a way to put a smile on host Neil Atkinson's face.

It is another which isn't safe for work. It may not be safe if you are operating heavy machinery. It isn't safe for anyone but we have to start somewhere.

There is a look ahead to Southampton also included.

It's The Anfield Wrap. It's meant to hurt.

No Adam Melia again. He's Swanning off around the globe. Gets slaughtered in his absence obviously. He and you would be disappointed otherwise.

So there are nine tunes and nine helpings of wham. What tunes. What wham. It shows no sign of abating. Atkinson, Gibbons, Heneghan. The Stock, Aitken and Waterman of wham.

Come aboard.

Travelling to Old Trafford and missing half their first choice back four to face a Manchester United enjoying a run of NINE consecutive wins and in the best form since the Champagne Socialist shuffled upstairs.....and yet, and yet, a draw still felt like a defeat.

Joining Neil Atkinson to talk through the most intense clash between the sides in recent memory was Gareth Roberts, John Gibbons and Ben Johnson for an hour that begins with sober reflection and ends in outright defiance and the best rallying call this side of 2017.
