End of Season Special
March 12, 2012 22:50 - 42 minutes - 19.5 MBA topless Iain Coyle and Steven Yemoh discuss the recent defeats and say farewell to a Champions League spot for another season. Its all about Everton and the Cup QF this week
Milk Cup Winners 2012
February 28, 2012 22:30 - 34 minutes - 15.8 MBIt's the 'Milk Cup Celebration Special' (for younger viewers milk is what Carling used to be called) as we look back on the delights of wonderful weekend at Wembley and Kenny's new silverware. The shirt is still off but Iain Coyle does not appear to as angry as usual. Stephen Yemoh denies arousal. (This podcast is hijacked by Boyd and Ben)
With a Table Leg
February 21, 2012 23:25 - 49 minutes - 22.6 MBThis is the first episode where Iain Coyle starts the podcast with the shirt off. And then he gets angry.

Find the link at http://liverpoolpodcast.com
Iain is Vexed
January 24, 2012 19:30 - 53 minutes - 25.7 MBIt's what they call in theatrical parlance a 'two-hander'. The Two Ia(i)ns are not happy though and need no extra help. It's a moan cum rant from top to tail as Carroll, Adam, Downing and anyone else within their sites get both barrels. Tonight's podcast was a shirt's off recording.
Racism and Wife Beating Special
January 10, 2012 22:00 - 49 minutes - 22.7 MBFollowing the most ludicrous of decisions ever to grace the beautiful game, Iain Coyle and Stephen Yemoh bring in Ian Donnelly to pick the bones of the shakiest legal case of the century and ponder how Sir Alex managed to get a close personal friend on the jury. With the circus in town there's barely enough time to mention the football, but somehow we manage it.
Pasty-Stretcher
December 16, 2011 05:55 - 46 minutes - 21.2 MBIain Coyle and Ian Donnelly look back on the QPR match, laugh heartily at the fortunes of the Manchester twins and forward to Villa and Wigan, where the pasties are so abundant that they say the streets are paved with them. Stephen Yemoh does briefly appear in tonight's podcast. Near the end. If you get that far.
Clint Dempsey's Eyeliner
December 07, 2011 02:15 - 45 minutes - 20.8 MBIain Coyle and Stephen Yemoh discuss all the things that every Liverpool fan needs to know, such as 'does Clint Dempsey wear eyeliner?'. Of course there is talk of Liverpool FC, but how can we overlook the appearance of the first goth striker?
Italian Tank
November 23, 2011 01:30 - 49 minutes - 22.6 MBIt's a 'shirts on' episode this week where Iain Coyle, Stephen Yemoh and Ian Donnelly talk Kenny, Blatter, Collymore, transfers, Peter Cech's mask and of course Sr. Suarez. We also look forward to Man City at home coming up this weekend and Chelsea in the Milk Cup on Tuesday. All this in only 48 minutes.
Wycombe Wanderers eBay Auction Closing
November 02, 2011 23:30 - 43 minutes - 20.1 MBIt's the dream team this week (with the obvious omission of Arnie Ker). Yes, we're making do with the Crafty Rabbi Ashley Blaker and Stephen Blue Yemoh to join Iain Coyle in the first shirts off podcast of the year. There's so much to covered that we don't have time for it here. Our eBay Rating is not reflective of the quality of this podcast.
Hammer And Darts
October 10, 2011 21:30 - 47 minutes - 21.6 MBIain Coyle is joined by the crocked Rob Heaney and award winning Humphrey Kerr to discuss injuries, football violence and Adam's favourite left foot.

September 27, 2011 21:30 - 40 minutes - 18.5 MBIain, Ashley and Stephen Yemoh discuss Suarez's pretend motorbike, a daytrip to Brighton, Kenny's quips, professional diving referees and legendary Liverpudlian Pete Burns. It's a shame Yemoh couldn't stay to hear it all.
Servicing Roy in Beaconsfield
September 20, 2011 21:30 - 39 minutes - 18.2 MBIt's a four mic special and all the shirts stay on. Ashley 'The Crafty Rabbi' Blaker, Stephen 'Blue' Yemoh and award winning Humpfrey 'I'm no Nazi Sympathiser' Ker (pron: Carr) join Iain Coyle for a 38 minute romp through that crazy world of football. And for the first time Humf reveals exclusively his secret meeting with Roy Hodgson in laybay off the A40.
The Return of the Crafty Iman
September 06, 2011 21:00 - 38 minutes - 17.8 MBYes, tonight's podcast is named after Ashley Blaker who actually bothered to turn up. Ian Donnelly made it on time, but he never asked for such an honour. (We wanted to call it 'Andy Carroll, Drunk Again').
The One Where Ashley Didn't Turn Up
August 15, 2011 22:30 - 33 minutes - 15.4 MBThe podcast that once attracted a guest to cross the globe, fails even to get the attention of a once regular co-host to make the 20 minute trip and tonight's show is two hander with Stephen Yemoh playing two positions. Even Humph has stopped answering the phone since he changed his name. On the brighter side, Iain Coyle has lost 7 pounds and Suarez is looking like the bargain of the century. #YNWA
Androids, Racism and Sperm Banks
August 02, 2011 22:30 - 36 minutes - 16.7 MBIt's all back in time for kick off of for the new season as Iain Coyle leaves filthy messages on a Nazi impersonator's voicemail, while Stephen Yemoh and Ashley Blaker wonder if this is what it's come to.

24 May 11 - Someone Flew In From Australia To Do Our Show
May 24, 2011 22:30 - 55 minutes - 25.6 MBThis week a man flies from Sydney on a moment's notice after winning an eBay auction and next thing you know he's on Iain Coyle's sofa and guesting on the podcast. Sean McGerty has made himself a household name (at Chez Coyle at least) for coming halfway across the world to join this shirts off, last of the season podcast. Humphrey Ker does Arnie and Stephen Yemoh is Blue, but nothing will compare to McGerty's feat of faith. YNWA. Sean leaves with a handful of gifts from Reebok, Betfair and B...
10 May 11 - Bet You'd Score a Lot More Trim (in an Arnie voice)
May 10, 2011 22:30 - 46 minutes - 21.4 MBIt's a four mic special as Iain Coyle welcomes the return of The Craft Rabbi, Mr. Crown Paints himself, Ashley 'The Oracle' Blaker (wait, there's more), Humphrey Ker and Ian Donnelly for a triumphant return to form and the starling revelation of where Liverpool would be in the table if the league had started the same day as Kenny did. Listen to it and it'll all become clearer. Check our Facebook at liverpoolpodcast.com too for details of how you can be our guest on the last podcast of the sea...

April 28, 2011 22:15 - 46 minutes - 21.2 MBIt's Preditor vs. Blue vs. St. Trinians II as tonight Iain Coyle welcomes Britain's premier Arnie impersonator, star of TV and film and glassesdirect.com spokesperson for the South East, Humphrey Ker.

29 Mar 11 - Jonjo's Junk
March 29, 2011 22:15 - 47 minutes - 21.9 MBHumphrey 'Suarez' Ker plays a lone striker role but does very little to curb Iain 'King' Coyle's p**** obession on this week's podcast. If only Jonjo Shelvey had not made that shocking self-revelation on Twitter it could have been so different. (Don't forget to get our free iPhone app from bit.ly/liverpoolapp)
15 Mar 11 - What We Need Is More Width
March 15, 2011 22:15 - 45 minutes - 20.7 MBIt's an epic show this week with so much ground covered that we don't have space for it here. Britain's premier stand up comedian and Isle of Mann wiff-waff champion and former primetime dance sensation DJ Spoony will fill you in. Iain Coyle is your host.
28 Feb 11 - Cabbages And Condoms
February 28, 2011 22:45 - 30 minutes - 13.8 MBIs the honeymoon over? What does Rooney have to do to get sent off? Iain Coyle and Blue TV hunk Stephen Yemoh bring in Tim Clark to agree what a tit Chris Coleman is.

31 Jan 11 - Goldfingering

Ian Donnelly and Eurovision hopeful Stephen Yemoh join a naked Iain Coyle to discuss Suarez, the pony-tailed jailbird and the fat lad from Blackpool. What ever happened to that Torres fella?
