Peter Hooton has a very special guest on the latest episode of the superb Allez Les Rouges podcast - Karen Gill, granddaughter of the late, great Bill Shankly, the man who laid the foundations for the modern Liverpool. They are joined by regulars, Ste Monaghan and John Nicolson, for what is a great listen for all Reds. The podcast kicks off by discussing the victory over Arsenal that took Jurgen Klopp's side clear at the top and, more importantly, even at this early stage of the campaign, kept them two points clear of Manchester City. As Peter says, it seems like this season is a continuation of lost, where neither of the top two teams in the country can afford to slip up. But the panel were not just impressed by what happened on the pitch, but off it, too, and in particular the passion, patience and loudness of the Anfield crowd, which placed in the context of when Klopp first arrived at the club, underlines just how he has turned the fanbase from 'doubters into believers'. That much is clear when talk turns to the draw for the Champions League with John insisting it would actually be better for the Reds to take on the likes of Real Madrid in the group stages. There's also a preview of Saturday's Premier League trip to Burnley, and how Sean Dyche's tactics will hold no fear for Virgil van Dijk and Co, before the last part of the show is dedicated to a forthcoming trip to Bill Shankly's home village of Glenbuck in Scotland, Karen's memory of her granddad, and what he would have made of Klopp. Enjoy.

The first Academy Show of the new season is here with host Paul Wheelock being joined by journalist, broadcaster and big Liverpool FC fan Matt Addison, who is a regular at Kirby watching the club's U18 and U23 teams. Before they get stuck into what is a big weekend for the talented young sides, Matt gives us the lowdown on the 17-year-old midfielder who has been pictured training with Jurgen Klopp's this week, Leighton Clarkson. Also on the agenda is Fiorentina's bid for Bobby Duncan, but please note the podcast was recorded before the 18-year-old striker's agent made an astonishing attack on the club and Michael Edwards (read the story HERE). The big incentive for players in the Reds academy is that Klopp is willing to give them a chance - Trent Alexander-Arnold being the ultimate example. However, with academy director Alex Inglethorpe admitting the club's youngsters will have to 'take a world-class player's shirt off him' to get into the senior side, Matt and Paul wonder whether more players may need to take the 'Harry Wilson route'. Talk then turns to the appointment of Curtis Jones as the new captain of the U23s, Harvey Elliott and Rhian Brewster, and the team's start to the season, plus a preview of their visit of Manchester City to Anfield on Saturday (August 31, 6pm KO). And there's also time to look at the free-scoring (as ever) U18s, who kick off a big double-header by welcoming Manchester United to the academy earlier in the day (11am KO). Enjoy.
