It's the start of a new era for MPRed, as Nathan Smith takes the controls, although some things never change. In the news, Simon offers his forthright opinion on Steven Gerrard, Albert Riera and...Bruce Forsyth. The panel hotfoot it from the Manchester United game into the studio to discuss 4th place, and it's importance in the modern game. What might happen to Liverpool if they miss out on the Champion's League, and has Harry Redknapp really been stealing from Spurs? Conor Brennan's familiar brogue crackles over the airwaves from London, as he explains why Michel Platini's plans are as misguided as Jamie Carragher taking aim from 30 yards. Finally, we listen to your feedback, discuss Kenny Dalglish's place in the pantheon of modern greats, and wonder how to get from Utah to Singapore. MPRed - it's free, it's less than 90 minutes, and it's finally got over the Thierry Henry handball.

Dion Fanning is severely unimpressed with John Terry's exit as England captain. We start with a permanent personnel change which will change MP Red. And then onto Liverpool's season in miniature and writ large. Simon being rather unimpressed with more than a few team performances and player performances. Some usual suspects but there are kudos also. Want to hear a funny story about the Anfield scoreboard? Simon was on the Kop. Simon with a withering view of Christian Purslow's meeting with the SOS. The Panel examines the hows and whys and perhaps even the ifs of corruption of in the game in England. They get really ripped into the unsavory side of the game with referring appointments, betting syndicates taking advantage of weak willed administrators and a few rants or two. And we love our rants around here. And Conor enjoys his closings, so don't get in his way. But things were getting a bit ripe in the booth. How come? Dion Fanning with an serious critique of the hypocrisy of English press and the weakness of Fabio Capello as they pertain to the John Terry affair. Hypocrisy to the nth and a Phillip Roth reference. Scouse Paul takes us back to Liverpool's first FA Cup final of the 70s and Matt Busby. The Feedback section goes on with some marvellous footballing insights and memories. Actually, maybe not. What to think about a stroppy Gerrard? And the move for Benitez' job. Real or imagined? Or just special? Just wait til you hear what the Brainstrust thinks. Oh, and we spend a lot of time telling everyone how great we are. MP Red – a service to mankind greater than beer. Oops! Was that our outside voice?

Memories of the 1986 season, double winners. What about the 1986 FA Cup Final? Jan with his take on what happened at Heysel and its aftermath. He has a lot to say about Graeme Souness and he was not always impressed, far from it. Players signed by Souness who were not good enough to play for Liverpool? Listen to the list. Touching and tearful memories of Hillsborough and the aftermath and how it cemented his love of Liverpool the city. A top notch interview with one of Liverpool's greatest servants.

We have Simon's take on the games played since the last episode with some insightful and provocative reasons for the collapse? Benitez? Yes, but not as much as you'd think. A midfielder or two and a defender. A careful analysis of the win over United. And what aboout new transfers? The Panel tries to explain why Liverpool have hit the downward trajectory and a few names are named and Simon takes no prisoners. Carragher? But again not for the reasons you'd think. A good discussion that does go a long way to explaining the failing of Liverpool and no-one is spared. Michael Henderson comes on to discuss his book, 50 People Who Fouled Up Football. An interesting selection and he's made justify why a great Liverpool manager made his list and a dour Scot didn't. Scouse Paul finishes up his travel in the USA with tales of too much beer (never!) and his daughter being his chaperone. Feedback is very good, with beachballs, Voronin, Blue Square League and a theory about gambling influencing injury time goals which unfortunately makes sense. MP Red – this one goes on way to long. A medal for everyone who hears it out to the very end, dulcet tones and all.

How to explain beating Hull 6-1 and losing 2-0 to Fiorentina? And little mercy for George Gillett who is accused of being more than economical with the truth. Are Voronin and Ngog up to be the shadow strikers? The Panel discusses referees and how they get stuff wrong so often? Do the rules need to be changed? What about all that extra time at Old Trafford? An interesting take on the culture surrounding referees and why all is not as it seems with them. And what's this about paving Abramovich's driveway? Dion Fanning casts a rather cold eye on Giovanni Trapattoni's management of the Republic of Ireland side in light of his treatment of Andy Reid? And what happens when Gazzetta della Sport meets Andy Reid's head? Scouse Paul visited the USA in 2004, you know. The beer flowed, the heads hurt and there was a large contingent of Scousers. A finish with a competition for a Paul Tompkins book and the feedback where the plight of Torres and Carragher are considered. No draws? Are they worse than losses? And another Simon rant. We think. MP Red – if you enjoy listening half as much as we do talking, that'll be a fair deal.

Be thankful for Stoke and Burnley. Standard Chartered to the rescue? Justin thinks so, but there are a few loose ends. The Panel looks at the opening to the season for everyone, but what is it you can tell from six games in the middle of September that will make you believe you know how it 'll be in May?

Conspicuous consumption and all that. And a longing for a return to muddy pitches and all games on a Saturday. The feedback is without Conor Murphy, but for a most acceptable reason and there are a few Grahams who are annoyed or pleased with us. We 're never quite sure. And we finish with a look back and explanation of all things Steven Cohen. And with that the campaign is put to bed. MP Red, it 's too inconsistent to annoy you, but you should listen anyway.

A pre-season which doesn't settle too many nerves and asks a few questions, an examination of the loss of Alonso and the gain of Aquilani and Justin gets his teeth into serious analytical mode explaining what it is that Liverpool just might need. Michael Henderson joins for an idiosyncratic look at the season where he threatened to talk about Portsmouth, but didn't and expounded at length about Manchester City. And who's the greatest badge kisser of all? Michael knows. The Panel gets stuck into pre-season mode – about time this season began, no? Who will drop out of the top 4 and why? Who will replace them? Who will be relegated? Will there be another English triumvirate in the Champions' League semis? And will Liverpool win number 20? Oh, the expectation! We finish with the feedback which is not plentiful due to our long sojourn but we did cover New Zealand and Ullapool, and a discussion on the Steven Cohen Boycott campaign.

Waaaay to long. An explanation of where we were. Simon is back in the analyst's chair and he has lost none of his sharpeness. A quick review of the end of the season and a look at the signing of Glen Johnson. And a young French kid, Mavinga. Simon with a clever analysis of the unsettling of Mascherano and Alonso. And a follow up in the Panel with a look at clubs, agents and players who do transfer business via the media. What to do about agents who leak to the press to engineer a move for their clients and 15% for them? Should Real Madrdi have to pay any fine for their two year courtship and unsettling of Ronaldo? How much are journalists to blame? Or is it the 24 hours news cycle and round the clock TV coverage? A withering assessment of the Ronaldo to Real move and slightly less so about some of the listeners and participants. Dion Fanning is very impressed with Benitez' outburst against Ferguson in Melwood last January and believes it's the underpinning of the Michael Owen to United move. And a bit of Seinfeld thrown in for good measure. All the cultural touchstones here! Scouse Paul treats us to a second trip to Madrid in one season. Never been there before, now twice in a season. When you're away for 5 months, the feedback goes a little stale and diminishes to zero. So an update on the LFCNY boycott of Steven Cohen and his lies and hate against the 96 dead and Liverpool fans in general. MP Red – the world survived without us and that's probably not fair.

And a bit of Seinfeld thrown in for good measure. All the cultural touchstones here! Scouse Paul treats us to a second trip to Madrid in one season. Never been there before, now twice in a season. When you're away for 5 months, the feedback goes a little stale and diminishes to zero. So an update on the LFCNY boycott of Steven Cohen and his lies and hate against the 96 dead and Liverpool fans in general.

Well, half of MP Red was recorded when he was a Liverpool player and the other half when he was a Spurs player. So we're really happy about that because we sound as if we have less of a clue than usual. Groundhog Day for all these 1-1 draws and then 2-0 Chelsea and all is right with the Liverpool ship again. Until the next game. In lieu of the Panel discussion, we have an interview with former Liverpool captain, Jimmy Melia. Stories about Shankly, Liddle, Cally, Roger and all the boys. And a league title in '64 after 17 years. Michael Henderson is variously amused and not impressed by the antics of Benitez. He doesn't deny the legitimacy of Liverpool's title aspirations, but…….Scouse Paul comes to us in somber mood with a remembrance of a Liverpudlian who did so much to expedite his travels. And the feedback. The feedback recorded before Keane was transferred. See how good these guys were with their predictions and prognostications. And there's no cricket.

Dave is out, so we have a new analyst, but he's not unknown, not if you have being paying attention that is. So what news in the off-season? Not much really - the Euros have even kept the transfer market quiet, but there is a good bye to John Arne Riise and will Xabi follow him to Italy? Villa tell Liverpool to keep their mitts off Bentley if they want Barry. Confused? Sammy Lee returns, bringing a Scouse heartbeat back to the club. The ownership saga rambles on like a runaway stagecoach and two cowboys fighting for control of the horses. Another investor? Maybe and maybe he will not be DIC. Benayoun fixing his bike for a one-way journey? Pennant out, but Milner in? And that's an improvement? Dion Fanning with a scathing look at the antics of Chelsea, Kenyon, Abramovich and Ronaldo. The Panel looks back at the glory that was Austria and Switzerland. A lot of love for Spain and Turkey and Russia, not so much for Germany, Italy, France and Greece. A changing of the guard? Marcos Senna - the man who won it for Spain. Scouse Paul takes us to London in the early 80s where he spied his 16-year-old brother with a pair of stilettos after a game. In public. Wearing a Liverpool shirt. You have to listen to this one. And then there's the feedback. Conor (the good one) quite taken with a lady vet who took the time to write. There have been stranger obsessions on MP Red, we think. A good discussion on how much it would take to pry Torres from Anfield compared to Ronaldo from Salford. Babel with a rare blood ailment? Conor, the bad one, (and now medical expert) fills us in. Seriously, a lady vet, if you can believe it.

Dave wants Mascherano. He says so 27 times. And how does Henry the VIII get into a Liverpool podcast? The Panel has a look at what's happened so far and what the New Year holds in store. The year of the fired manager. But is the whole season becoming déjà-vu. Nothing new under heaven is the story. One of the big four to win, but which one? What's the biggest disappointment and surprise so far? Kate sits in for an end of year Heroes And Zeroes where she picks the most useless and the best. Clive Toye is very distressed with what is happening to the game and fears for the English game, as opposed to the game in England. Confused?
