Liverpool’s final whistle against Palace didn’t just signal the end of a game. It was a coronation. On The Gags Tandon Show, Jack Mcindoe, Lewis Aspinall and Tadiwa Chanakira captured the post-match mood perfectly — pride, reflection and an eye to what comes next.
“This is the moment that I will always bring up first,” said Lewis. “We have done something that every other club and every other fan and every other pundit said will not be done.” It wasn’t just a win, it was a statement. Against the backdrop of a transitional season, Liverpool dominated.
The match itself against Crystal Palace might not go down as a classic, but its symbolic importance cannot be overstated. “It was all about the celebration,” said Tadiwa. “Finally getting to celebrate one of these in front of our fans.”
The crowd got what they came for — not just a performance, but a moment. The image of Van Dijk lifting the trophy with Alan Hansen was, in Lewis’ words, “a passing of the torch.” From one Liverpool era to the next, the legacy rolls on.
Jack summed it up crisply: “35 years of waiting ended today… I love you Liverpool.”
It wasn’t just emotion that carried Liverpool through the season. Arne Slot’s arrival could have been the risk that derailed everything. Instead, it proved pivotal.
Tadiwa explained it best: “He didn’t tweak a lot… one or two things, but we still saw his identity shine through.” Slot’s impact was subtle but decisive, and as Lewis added, “He rotated Trent and Bradley and gave us a view of what life’s going to be like when number 66 leaves.”
That vision paid dividends. Gakpo, a player often lost in the shuffle, became “top tier at moments,” according to Lewis. “He finished as our second highest goal scorer… scored against Manchester City… great in our cup run.” All with a redefined role under Slot.

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s exit had fans divided, but the podcast reflected on his send-off with surprising clarity. “I was proven so wrong today,” admitted Lewis, who once didn’t want Trent near the squad. “I cried when he stepped up to get his medal.”
Tadiwa added perspective: “We got the whole discourse out with the boos… today it almost seemed like the crowd said this is a day for Liverpool Football Club to celebrate.”
Then there’s Salah. The man who continues to break the mould. “Mo Salah without hyperbole is the greatest right winger in Premier League history,” declared Lewis. “29 Premier League goals and 18 assists… ludicrous.”
Tadiwa agreed, noting how Salah’s studied approach gives him a unique edge: “He’s at the perfect point in his career… the game has slowed down for him.”

This wasn’t just a post match reflection. It was a rallying cry. “There’s no finishing beneath first now,” said Lewis. “We’re coming for number 21, number seven and number 11.” Liverpool have already started flexing in the transfer market, with names like Frimpong and Wirtz exciting fans.
Tadiwa closed with intent: “You see the scenes at Anfield… what young player wouldn’t want to join us?”
