The Sports Bar presenter took to the airwaves in the wake of Liverpool’s stunning 4-0 victory over Bundesliga defending champions Bayer Leverkusen.
He and co-host Jamie O’Hara invited callers onto the show to dissect another fantastic performance from the Reds, who now remain the only team in the Champions League to have won all their games so far.
Pair that with Arne Slot’s excellent record in the Premier League – which they currently top by two points – and Liverpool fans have been living in something of a dreamland so far.
But in response to one fan’s assessment of the game, Cundy admitted that he was feeling more than a little disgruntled by just how well the Merseyside team were getting on.
“It’s starting to annoy me, Liverpool,” he grumbled. “It’s starting to annoy me.
O’Hara was quick to point out that Cundy had been upset by the Reds even before they pulled off another sensational win – for one bizarrely specific reason.
“Mate, they were annoying you as soon as I walked in (the office) and you were moaning about the ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ song!” he said.
Oh, the ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ thing, honestly,” groaned Cundy, clearly upset by the favourite song of the club.
“Just give it the respect it deserves,” argued O’Hara. “It’s a banger. The commentary goes quiet. You’ve just got to listen to it and respect it.”
But Cundy was having none of it, as he explained exactly what it was that offended him about the anthem.
No, I’m sorry,” he began. “Fair enough, Liverpool fans (listening to it), I get it.
“But they subject every other football fan to it. Everyone stays silent. I bet they’re all standing up in the gantry, hands on their heart. It’s not the National Anthem!
“Fair enough, Liverpool fans. I get it. It’s their club, their song.”
O’Hara could not understand the level of his annoyance though.
“Why are they getting to you so much?” he quizzed Cundy.
“Because they don’t do it for any other song,” said Cundy. “But Liverpool annoy me because they’re getting results and you can’t say they’re brilliant, but they keep winning.”
O’Hara related to listeners what had happened earlier that night when he had walked into the office.
“I’m sat in there having a bit of dinner,” he explained. “I’ve got the two games on. I’ve turned it up. It gives you goosebumps. You can’t get away from it. Anfield, Champions League night.
“It’s a great song. Cundy walks in and he’s like, oh, here we go again. That’s it. He hates it. Put it on mute, he’s going!”
All the while, Cundy began making vomiting noises in the background as he continued to cheekily reinforce his serious dislike of the song.
But while Cundy does not appreciate the musical genius of Liverpool’s anthem, there was one song he quickly suggested as one he would happily listen to instead
