    Episode 12 – 2003–04: Houllier’s Final Chapter

    In Episode 12 of You’ll Never Pod Alone, we close the book on the Gérard Houllier era — a season that began with quiet optimism and ended with an emotional farewell.

    After years of discipline, silverware, and steady progress, the 2003–04 campaign proved to be the end of the road for Houllier’s Liverpool. A summer of new arrivals — including Harry Kewell and Steve Finnan — promised attacking football and a push for the title. But what followed was a frustrating, stop-start season filled with missed chances, stale tactics, and familiar flaws.

    Liverpool’s football lacked spark, the cups offered little comfort, and the fans’ patience began to fade. Yet, through all the ups and downs, Steven Gerrard emerged as the true leader of the next generation, and a vital fourth-place finish ensured Liverpool would be back among Europe’s elite.

    Expect:
    ⚽ Month-by-month breakdown of the season’s highs and lows
    📉 Cup heartbreak and inconsistency in the league
    ⭐ Player focus on Gerrard, Owen, and Kewell
    🏁 Reflection on Houllier’s impact and emotional departure
    📺 Early-2000s nostalgia — Hey Ya!, Return of the King, Little Britain

    It wasn’t a season of glory — but it was a season of transition. The old chapter closed, and a new one was about to begin… led by a Spaniard who would take Liverpool to the summit of Europe.

    Because even through change, triumph, and tears… You’ll Never Pod Alone.

    Episode 11 – 2002–03: From Hope to Heartbreak

    In Episode 11 of You’ll Never Pod Alone, we look back at Liverpool’s 2002–03 season — a campaign that started full of promise but spiralled into one of the most frustrating years of Gérard Houllier’s reign.

    After finishing 2nd the year before, optimism was high. New arrivals from the World Cup, including El Hadji Diouf and Salif Diao, were expected to fire the Reds into a title challenge. And at first, it all looked good — Liverpool went top of the table by November.

    Then came the collapse.
    An 11-game winless run wrecked their season, European dreams faded, and the football turned flat. The pressure mounted, but there was at least one bright moment: victory over Manchester United in the League Cup Final, courtesy of goals from Gerrard and Owen.

    Expect:
    ⚽ Month-by-month breakdown of the highs and lows
    🏆 League Cup glory in Cardiff
    😬 The collapse that cost Liverpool a Champions League place
    ⭐ Player spotlights on Gerrard and Owen
    📺 Cultural flashbacks — The Matrix Reloaded, Coldplay’s Clocks, and The Office finale

    Liverpool finished 5th in the league, won the League Cup, and watched a golden opportunity slip away. It was the beginning of the end for Houllier’s Liverpool — a team caught between past glories and future promise.

    Because through every triumph and heartbreak… You’ll Never Pod Alone.

    In Episode 9 of You’ll Never Pod Alone, we relive one of the greatest seasons in Liverpool’s modern history — 2000–01, Gérard Houllier’s masterpiece.

    After years of transition, Liverpool finally found their winning edge. This was the season the Reds lifted three trophies — the FA Cup, League Cup, and UEFA Cup — and secured a top-four finish to return to the Champions League.

    Michael Owen’s late heroics in the FA Cup Final, Gary McAllister’s legendary 44-yard derby free-kick, and the unforgettable 5–4 UEFA Cup Final in Dortmund all made this campaign one for the ages.

    Episode 8 – 1999–2000: Houllier’s Rebuild Begins

    In Episode 8 of You’ll Never Pod Alone, we revisit the 1999–2000 season — Gérard Houllier’s first full campaign in sole charge, and the year he tore up the old Liverpool and began building something new.

    Out went the likes of Paul Ince, David James, and Jason McAteer. In came the new spine: Sami Hyypiä, Stéphane Henchoz, Dietmar Hamann, Vladimír Šmicer, and goalkeeper Sander Westerveld. The changes brought defensive stability and a glimpse of the future, but inconsistency still haunted the Reds.

    Liverpool flirted with Champions League qualification but missed out on the final day, finishing 4th — level on points with Leeds but edged out on goal difference.

    Expect:
    ⚽ Month-by-month breakdown of results and key moments
    ⭐ Spotlights on Hyypiä’s instant impact and Owen’s injury-hit campaign
    📺 Cultural throwbacks — The Matrix, Britney Spears, Fight Club, and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
    📊 Season stats, biggest wins, worst defeats, and those iconic Reebok kits

    No trophies this year — but the rebuild was underway, and Houllier’s Liverpool were laying the foundations for the treble-winning season to come.

    Because through the ups, downs, and rebuilds… You’ll Never Pod Alone.

    Episode 7 – 1998–99: The End of Evans, the Arrival of Houllier

    In Episode 7 of You’ll Never Pod Alone, we revisit the 1998–99 season — a year of change, upheaval, and transition at Anfield.

    Roy Evans began the campaign in charge, but by November, the last of the Boot Room boys had stepped aside, leaving Gérard Houllier to take full control. It was the end of an era and the start of a cultural revolution.

    On the pitch, Michael Owen shone as Liverpool’s new star, fresh from his World Cup heroics, scoring 23 goals despite the team’s struggles. Robbie Fowler battled injury, Steve McManaman sparkled but prepared for his controversial free transfer to Real Madrid, and defensive weaknesses once again cost Liverpool dearly.

    Expect:
    ⚽ Month-by-month highlights of highs, lows, and turning points
    ⭐ Owen’s rise, Fowler’s frustrations, McManaman’s farewell season
    📺 Cultural throwbacks — Britney Spears, Lock, Stock, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
    📊 Season stats, biggest results, and that famous yellow away kit

    Liverpool finished 7th in the Premier League, endured early cup exits, and ended another season without silverware. But 1998–99 was the campaign that cleared the way for Houllier’s rebuild — the first step towards a new era.

    Because through every change and challenge… You’ll Never Pod Alone.

    Paul Ince, Patrik Berger, and McManaman – the engine room of goals, grit, and guile in midfield.

    David James’ mistakes & defensive woes – why “Calamity” James and the back line cost Liverpool another title challenge.

    Cup humiliation & league frustration – FA Cup 3rd round exit to Coventry, and finishing 3rd behind Arsenal & United.

    The changing of the guard – with legends like Rush and Barnes gone, Owen became the new face of the Reds.


    It was a season of dazzling flair, wasted opportunities, and the birth of a new superstar.

    Episode 5 – 1996–97: So Near, Yet So Far

    In Episode 5 of You’ll Never Pod Alone, we look back at the 1996–97 season — a campaign where Roy Evans’ Liverpool thrilled fans with attacking football, pushed for honours on multiple fronts, but ultimately fell short when it mattered most.

    With Robbie Fowler at his lethal best, firing in 31 goals, and Steve McManaman dazzling as the creative heartbeat, the Reds looked like genuine title contenders. They lit up the league with big wins and unforgettable classics, including another legendary 4–3 against Newcastle.

    But inconsistency, defensive frailties, and costly slip-ups derailed the challenge. Liverpool ended the season empty-handed — finishing 4th in the league, exiting both domestic cups early, and falling in the Cup Winners’ Cup semi-final to PSG.

    Expect:
    ⚽ Month-by-month highlights of key wins, defeats & turning points
    ⭐ Spotlights on Fowler, McManaman, and the so-called “Spice Boys” era
    📺 Cultural throwbacks — Britpop, Trainspotting, Independence Day, and Euro ’96 fever
    📊 Season stats, biggest results, and the iconic cream & red kit

    In Episode 4 of You’ll Never Pod Alone, we revisit the 1995–96 season — a campaign of breathtaking football, a thrilling title chase, and a day at Wembley that Liverpool fans will never forget… for all the wrong reasons.

    Roy Evans’ Reds had Robbie Fowler at his lethal best, Steve McManaman dazzling with creativity, and new record signing Stan Collymore adding firepower. The goals flowed, the Kop roared, and Liverpool looked like genuine contenders.

    But defensive frailties and inconsistency cost them, and the season ended in heartbreak — finishing 3rd in the league and losing the FA Cup Final to Manchester United, remembered more for those infamous cream Armani suits than the football itself.

    Expect:
    ⚽ Month-by-month breakdown of wins, defeats & turning points
    ⭐ Spotlight on Fowler’s 36-goal season and the Collymore partnership
    📺 Cultural throwbacks — Britpop, Toy Story, GoldenEye, and The Fast Show
