Allez Les Rouges: The fallout from the Premier League's 'own goal' - and the player who looks born to wear the Liverpool shirt

It's coming up to two weeks since the Redmen were last in action, but the latest Allez Les Rouges podcast, hosted by Peter Hooton, and featuring regular guests Kieth Culvin, Ste 'Mono' Monaghan and John Nicolson, has a lot to get off its chest. It starts on a positive - and the amazing efforts of Reds supporters and the LFC Foundation in raising £60,000 for Sean Cox, the fan who was left in a critical condition after being attacked outside Anfield before the Champions League semi-final first leg with Roma in April. 'Mono', Kieth and the Spirit of Shankly supporters' group welcomed Sean's brothers, Martin and Peter, to a special ceremony at Liverpool Town Hall on Saturday, and we hear from them on the podcast. It is an inspirational story of supporter solidarity. Sadly, the feelings of fans were not taken into consideration when the Premier League took the universally unpopular decision to hand a £5m golden handshake to outgoing chief executive Richard Scudamore. The lads believe the league, and its member 20 clubs, including Liverpool, have scored a massive 'own goal', and wonder what the fallout will be in the future, especially if there is a rise in ticket prices. They also discuss the impending introduction of VAR to the Premier League before talk turns to two Reds players who have been starring for their respective countries over the international break. Liverpool are back in action this weekend, at Watford, and looking at the fixtures, the panel have the feeling this could be a pivotal weekend in a title race in which the margins for error are smaller than ever.
