Another weekend ruined as Liverpool contrive once again to throw away a win with a painfully lacklustre and all to familiar display at St James Park. Having never recorded a win against a Rafa Benitez team, the Reds put themselves in pole position to take all three points thanks to a Phil Coutinho howitzer only to surprise absolutely no one by gifting Newcastle the softest of equalisers. Joining Neil Atkinson to pull on all the threads are Gareth Roberts, Mike Nevin and Melissa Reddy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Another guest. They don't stop coming. A few weeks back Ghostpoet joined The Rider over the phone for a lovely chat about Margate, his new album and the tour which accompanies it and we got stuck right in with him. It was a belter; just like Dark Days & Canapes the album in question. Thanks to him for chatting gladly away. Back in what passes for the now Neil Atkinson hosts as Stephanie "Steph" Heneghan, John Gibbons and Adam Melia talk about 30 Rock (why not?), Psych Fests, Kalamazoo and Iceland and just in general offer you a peek behind The Rider's curtain. The songs are the business. The guest was terrific. The show a blinder. We are as ever made up. It's the best thing you can do with an hour and a half. It is The Rider. Tracklisting: Wolf Alice - Heavenward Lorde - Homemade Dynamite (Feat. Khalid, Post Malone & SZA) Janet Jackson - When I Think Of You (Late Nite Tough Guy Rework) Lord Willing - Green Doesn't Look Good On You Ghostpoet - (We're) Dominoes Lizzo - Truth Hurts Gucci Mane feat The Weeknd - Curve Shopping - The Hype Gin Wigmore - Beatnik Trip Learn more about your ad choices.

Everyone is still a bit giddy after Liverpool's fantastic 2-3 win over Leicester full of fight and character and no little quality. The Anfield Wrap's free show gets into all aspects of the game. There is an elongated discussion about Simon Mignolet, how the win feels, the amount of housekeeping it does and if it sets the season up from here. Neil Atkinson is joined by Ben Johnson, Rob Gutmann and Gareth Roberts. It isn't for the faint-hearted but nor was the game. It's fast, funny and explicit but hopefully insightful. It's The Anfield Wrap. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
