Show notes

The next part of our look at Liverpool's historic rivalries sees Neil Atkinson sit down with Mike Nevin, Rob Gutmann and the Liverpool Echo's David Prentice to look back at the period of worsening cross-Stanley Park relations from 1989 to 2002.

It encapsulates Dalglish's last game, Everton's near relegation, Joe Royle's Dogs Of War. Liverpool's poor runs in Derbies at Goodison, abuse to the players off the pitch and players flying in at each other on it.

It also includes a look ahead to the weekend's game.

Everything a look at football's greatest local rivalry needs...

Honours Even At The Etihad Mar 20, 2017

Show notes

Breathless, chaotic and ultimately, a point gained rather than two lost.

Neil Atkinson is joined by Melissa Reddy, Adam Smith and Mike Nevin to try and make some sense of the tear up between Liverpool and Manchester City.

The Reds once again proved they can go toe-to-toe with the best and have set themselves up with more than a fighting chance for the top four run-in.

Jamie Carragher joins Neil Atkinson to talk about Xabi Alonso's Liverpool career. The pair go through Alonso's career at Liverpool and beyond but also talk about other aspects of the game, such as Emre Can against Burnley and what happens when central defenders lose their spring.
