A dreadful first-half performance saw the Reds behind to Will Smallbone's opener before a Darwin Nunez equaliser and Mohamed Salah penalty within a minute of each other shortly after the break turned the game on its head, with Salah netting another spot kick late on. The result means Arne Slot's side are now 15 points clear of second-placed Arsenal with nine games to play as they look ahead to the Champions League second leg tie with PSG.  Get Exclusive NordVPN deal at: nordvpn.com/bloodred - Try it risk-free with Nord's 30-day money-back guarantee! #LFC #LiverpoolFC #LiverpoolFootballClub Get exclusive Liverpool FC podcasts and video content everyday right here.  Subscribe to the Blood Red Liverpool FC YouTube Channel and watch daily live shows HERE: https://bit.ly/3OkL9iT Listen and subscribe to the Blood Red Podcast for all your latest Liverpool FC content via Apple and Spotify: APPLE: https://bit.ly/3HfBvKq SPOTIFY: https://bit.ly/3SdsjeH Join our Blood Red podcast group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1656599847979758/ Visit the Liverpool ECHO website: https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LivEchoLFC Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LiverpoolEchoLFC Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bloodred_lfc Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bloodred_lfc Subscribe to us on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/bloodredliverpoolfc Download our Liverpool FC app for free: Apple - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/lfc-echo/id1255495425 Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mirror.liverpoolfc Learn more about your ad choices.

Bærekraftseventyr går live fra vårt mobile podcaststudio med et postkort fra Baskerland. I forbindelse med New Business Models Conference 2024, samt det UEFA- og Handelens Miljøfond-finansierte forskningsprosjektet vårt på sirkulære fotballstadioner, endte vi i San Sebastian og Bilbao. Vi starter med et nikk til vår kjære vinbar Vinbaren Vin og Pintxos i Kaigaten i Bergen, ettersom denne turen ble rene ekskursjonen i nettopp vin og pintxos! Før konferansen kom i gang, besøkte vi både Athletic Bilbaos stadion San Mames for en kjapp befaring, før vi fikk audiens hos Real Sociedad på Reale Arena i San Sebastian. Vi snakker oss inn i fotballen i et forretningsmodellperspektiv og forteller om opplevelsene fra Reale Arana. Før folk får fotballallergi og kaster episoden på båten, forsvarer Sveinung fotballcaset som representativt for mange andre forretnings- og virksomhetsmodeller. Vi forteller om møtet med vår kontakt Ainara Muga, som er bærekraftssjef i stiftelsen til Real Sociedad, og de mange bærekraftsinitiativene hun ledet i klubben og på stadion. Det blir sosial bærekraft og baskisk identitet, ringvirkningene til klubben på andre idrettslag i regionen og valgene de tar for å understøtte disse. Vi snakker om Sareak-prosjektet (og glemmer hva Sareak betød), som innebærer oppsirkulering av ødelagte fiskenett til fotballmålnett, utført av konene til fiskere i bransjen. Vi lærer om en overraskende avfallsfraksjon, trolig særegen for denne regionen, som oppsirkuleres til bruk av lokale bønder. Vi snakker om garn og nøter, lar oss forvirre av terminologien i håndarbeid, og mimrer tilbake til besøket hos Egersund Net i Austevoll. Vi lar oss overraske over den relativt lave vektleggingen av avfallshåndteringsutfordringen på stadion, snakker om fotball på stranden, oppsamling av regnvann til bruk til vanning av baner, Lars Jacob trekker paralleller til vår gode venn David i Barcelona, og vi mimrer tilbake til da vi underviste på ESADE Business School i Barcelona for noen år siden. Det leder oss inn i en compare-and-contrast av Baskerland og Katalonia, selv om vi ikke har kompetanse til å gjøre det. John Aldridge gjør en overraskende cameo i forbindelse med at vi snakker om EM-helten Nico Williams, som har bakgrunn fra Ghana, men likevel vurderes som basker i klubbens øyne. Vi snakker om det kompliserte ved kulturelt homogene regler, kommer plutselig inn på sparker i Gudbrandsdalen, og Sveinung trekker opp igjen evergreen-spørsmålet "hva er en fotballklubb?" Det blir eier- og governanceprat, vi snakker om de fire SDGene i Real Sociedads, trekker paralleller til klubber som Arsenal, Barcelona og andre, og selvsagt blir det vesentlighetsprat nå igjen. Det blir tygging av pip shells og sigarettrøyking, oppsirkulerte møbler av plastflasketopper, og igjen de sosiale dimensjonene av slike sirkulære prosjekter. Vi kommer inn på filosofien til stiftelsens impact-arbeid, får innsikt i klubbens ultras (eller fravær av sådanne), snakker om pyro og bluss, og gleder oss til å reise tilbake til San Sebastian i sesongen, så vi kan gå på kamp. Sveinung gjør seg morsom på bekostning av Vålerengen, vi tenker tilbake til den gangen Mainz-supporterne gikk til angrep på Sveinung på Olympiastadion i Berlin, og vi reviderer vår tidligere omtale av Baskerland som Spanias Skottland, og bestemmer oss i stedet for at San Sebastian på mange måter er Spanias Bergen. I mengden av inntrykk kommer vi innom energi i form av solenergi, appen Ciclogreen som insentiverer supportere til å reise grønt, før vi avslutningsvis i balansens navn, forsøker å dempe kjærlighetsrusen vår til San Sebastian og Real Sociedad ved å diskutere skyggesider de kanskje vektlegger i for liten grad. Vi avslutter med en svipptur til Japan, før vi må skynde oss tilbake på konferanse - og viktigere, tilbake til vin og pintxos-barene, men på vei ut av samtalen gjør vi en Mikel Arteta-oppdagelse som endte med at Sveinung spilte tennis i San Sebastian med Ainara fra Real Sociedad.

There are few people better placed to talk us through the art of goalscoring than the man who did so on 476 occasions during his career. John Aldridge lived the dream; going from Kop fanatic to wearing the famous red shirt with his hero's number on his back and becoming a Liverpool icon in his own right. In the second episode of season 2, Aldo talks us through how the transfer of a lifetime came about the morning of a big cup game, the confidence and nerves he had walking into a dressing room packed with Reds legends but how, ultimately, his knack of goalscoring came naturally. We also discover the quirk of fate that took him from suffering Wembley heartache in 1988, to feeling utter jubilation 12 months later, which of the hundreds of goals he scored is the one he'd pick to experience all over again and how he won over the hearts of Real Sociedad fans after leaving Anfield.

Message from John Aldridge on January 1, 2023

When Montauk fisherman John Aldridge was thrown off the back of his lobster boat, the Anna Mary, he found himself alone in the middle of the ocean, watching his ship speed off into the distance. With his partner, Anthony Sosinski, sleeping below deck, it would be hours before Aldridge was even discovered missing. The U.S. Coast Guard and Montauk fishing community then mobilized a large-scale search-and-rescue mission off the coast of Long Island, but the needle-in-a-haystack operation missed Aldridge, again and again, while he fought for his life. Following the release of their book, A Speck in the Sea, that recounts this harrowing tale, Aldridge and Sosinski join Alec to share their story of perseverance, friendship, and the mindset it takes to survive the most challenging circumstances. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's back! Yes, that's right, the start of a new series of FANS is here, and what a start it is as Sachin is joined by the brilliant BBC commentator Steve Wilson for a chat about Tranmere Rovers. Steve is in typically articulate and engaging form as he discusses the club he was born to support having grown up in the shadow of Prenton Park – Tranmere's ground and, as Steve makes clear, one that is NOT in Liverpool. His first trip there was in January 1975 and there are memories of the sights, sounds and smells of the occasion – a Third Division game against Grimsby that, as was typical of following Tranmere at the time, took place on a Friday night. Steve was hooked and about to embark on a journey of extreme highs and lows. There have been financial difficulties and multiple relegations to contend with as a ‘Trannie' fan during the past 40 years or so but also the glorious, never-to-be-forgotten reigns of Johnny King and John Aldridge. Steve speaks with great warmth about the success both men brought to Tranmere as well as with great humour about his personal interactions with each of them. His story about interviewing Aldridge for Football Focus is especially wonderful. Speaking of ‘the Aldridge Years', Steve also reflects on the three iconic matches Tranmere played under their former player-manager in the early noughties, and in particular the 4-3 victory over Southampton in February 2001. Steve was at Prenton Park that night commentating for BBC Five Live and speaks with fascinating insight and honesty about the experience. Finally, there is a chat about modern-day Tranmere and how the club appears to be in good hands thanks to the presence of two former players in Mark Palios and Micky Mellon. And speaking of former players, Steve also talks through his all-time Tranmere XI, which includes a place for one of his BBC colleagues. And no, it's not Dan Walker. So download, listen and love. And after you have, please Rate and Review. It would mean a lot. Cheers!

In Aldo's opinion Hunt was the best striker Liverpool ever has had. «We all wanted to be Roger Hunt in the streets. We loved him. And we got to know him, we were in awe of the man.» It has been a hugely emotional week after the passing of Hunt. He was a God. In this week's podcast two of Liverpool's fine strikers honour Sir Roger.

Episode 62  Then importance of positive influences.   Alan Mahon moved to Birkenhead as a teenager, turning down offers from Chelsea and Middlesborough amongst others. Heavily influenced by his Father, Alan wanted to move somewhere where his first team opportunities would be plentiful. At the time, Tranmere were a high flying Division 1 (championship) side, and had players in their ranks such as Pat Nevin, John Aldridge, and Liam O'Brien. During his five years with Tranmere, Alan played over 100 times, and was a crucial part of the 1999/2000 team that reacher a Worthington Cup Final, and Fa Cup 1/4 final.  Mahon moved to Lisbon, playing in the champions league, before returning to England and appearing for Blackburn, Wigan, Burnley, Ipswich, Cardiff and Blackpool, before returning to Prenton Park in 2009. What felt like a fairytale return to the club, quickly turned sour as the clubs performances on the pitch under manager John Barnes saw the club floundering at the bottom of the table.  By 2011, Alan Mahon had hung up his boots, and terminated his contract with Tranmere 12 months early. The loss of his father, combined with the difficulty he was having competing physically, Alan decided he didn't want to be blocking the path for young players like Aaron Cresswell if he had nothing to contribute. Alan spent some years out of the game before returning as a coach at Manchester City women's team, stepping is as interim manager last year before resuming his current role as assistant to former Tranmere man Gareth Taylor.  If you enjoy this episode, or any of our other episodes, please pop over to apple podcasts, and give us a rating and a review.  https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/man-marking/id1506661828 You can find us on Twitter @marking_man and don't forget to use the hashtag #WheresTheTalkingLads  If you have been affected by any of the themes discussed in today's episode, we have listed some organisations below who are there if you need to talk: Samaritans  Call 116 132 for free https://www.samaritans.org/ Papyrus UK Call 0800 068 41 41 Papyrus Website CALM ZONE 0800 58 58 58 https://www.thecalmzone.net/help/helpline/ MIND 0300 123 3393 https://www.mind.org.uk/ The Kaleidoscope Plus Group 0800 059 0123 https://www.kaleidoscopeplus.org.uk/

Drum Engraving goes back to the 1920's when drums such as the Slingerland and Ludwig Black Beauty's would become legendary thanks to the intricate engraving on the metal shells.

Í Sparkvarpi vikunnar var Baskahéraðið á Spáni tekið fyrir. Þar eru fjögur lið sem keppa í La Liga, efstu deildinni á Spáni. Það eru Deportivo Alaves, Athletic Bilbao, Real Sociedad og Eibar. Auk þess er Osasuna, sem er innan Stóra-Baskahéraðsins einnig í efstu deild. Athletic Bilbao hafa verið þekktir fyrir „cantera-stefnuna“ sína sem er nokkurs konar óskrifuð regla innan félagsins. Stefnan var tekin upp árið 1912 og síðan þá hefur liðið fylgt því eftir. Hún er fólgin í því að einungis baskneskir leikmenn eða leikmenn sem alast þar upp mega spila fyrir félagið. Real Sociedad, næst sigursælasta liðið í Baskahéraði var áður fyrr einnig með samlíka stefnu en hætti henni svo 1989 þegar liðið keypti John Aldridge frá Liverpool. Innan liðsins leið mönnum eins og þeir sætu eftir í samkeppni við stórlið eins og Barcelona og Real Madrid og lagði hana því þá niður. Ævintýri Eibars er ótrúleg, liðið er á sínu öðru ári í La Liga en kom upp í deildina í fyrra eftir að hafa farið beint upp í aðra deild árinu áður. Bærinn Eibar telur 27 þúsund manns og er fámennari en Kópavogur. Strákarnir fóru yfir það merkilegasta við þessi lið ásamt því að tala um stolt fólksins í Baskahéraði. Þá rifjuðu þeir upp merkilegan leik milli Real Sociedad og Athetlic Bilbao (árið 1976) en það var fyrir allt annað en fótboltann sem var spilaður þann dag. Rígur þessara nágrannaliða hefur fengið stimpilinn sem vinalegasti grannaslagur í boltanum en þó eru líka heitar tilfinningarnar beggja stuðningsmanna í garð hins liðsins.

John Aldridge, a 45-year old lobster fisherman from Long Island, flew off the back of his boat when a plastic handle supporting a box hook snapped with the power of his pull. He grabbed at the side of the boat, missing it by inches before landing in the water at 3:30 am, alone and stunned, as the boat sped away with his partner sleeping in his cabin. They were 40 miles off the coast of Montauk, Long Island. First, yelling, then panic, then silence before he allowed himself to think he was going to die.
