Adam Melia has climbed Snowden. I mean, it was always on the cards, wasn't it? Up Snowden and down dale. It's the culmination of all the walking. And perhaps a new beginning.  You want more? We have so much more. Steph Heneghan didn't like a tea out. That wasn't on the cards. But we are where we are. You have to make the best of these things.  They've measured another run incorrectly. What are they playing at? John Gibbons this time finds himself having over extended not underperformed.  And at the centre of it all Neil Atkinson tries to hold it together and somehow get us from song to song. There is more Wham than a 1984 Christmas Party. And we give it away.  Tracklisting:  Riton & Kah-Lo - Ginger  Charlotte Gainsbourg - Les Oxalis (Alan Braxe remix)  The Longcut - Arrows  Half Man Half Biscuit - Every Time A Bell Rings  Peggy Gou - Travelling Without Arriving  SALES - White Jeans  Azealia Banks - Anna Wintour  Nellie McKay - Small Day Tomorrow Learn more about your ad choices.

Every week The Anfield Wrap takes a long look at Liverpool's weekend game and wonders about the approach from The Reds and their opponents. This week though we are looking ahead, imagining we are in the shoes of Jurgen Klopp and Zinedine Zidane and wondering what the pair will be contemplating before this Champions League Final. Klopp has fewer choices; his side plays in his image and he has been loathe to change set up through the season. Zidane has selection headaches but also has selection opportunities. This is a game which looks on paper to demonstrate the Review's consistent maxim that your greatest strengths can be your greatest weaknesses. We discuss that in the context of both sides set ups and focus on Modric and Kroos. Sean Rogers and Paul Cope join Neil Atkinson to be excited about everything in store for us on Saturday night. This show is out as a freebie due to The Anfield Wrap's year long partnership with Redsbet. Today their parent company Fansbet sees the launch of the initiative around Rail Seating they have worked on with Shrewsbury Town. Neil is joined by John Gibbons on discuss this. Fansbet can be found here and Redsbet's Liverpool specials for the final are available here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Anfield Wrap starts to look ahead to the week of Liverpool's eighth European Cup Final filled with excitement, trepidation, joy. All the obvious stuff. We work through all the feelings and get into the facts - how good our opponents are, what this means to Liverpool, what can be expected from the game and how it will be approached. We also speak to the producer of the Mo Salah documentary screening this week on Channel 4. Tony Pastor has years of experience of documenting the brilliance of footballers but he has had to pull this one about Salah together quickly. He lets us know how good it will be on Channel 4 at 10pm on Tuesday. Then we are back at it, back at The Reds and their brilliance. Can they punish any complacency from Real Madrid. Neil Atkinson hosts and is joined by Sanj Shetty, Dan Morgan and belatedly by Stu Wright. The Anfield Wrap is supported by Redsbet this year.
