Take It & Run

September 20, 2026

 

Posted at 15:07h in Uncategorized by

As the BBC website said, not pretty. But who cares. Take the win, get on the bus and come home with three points and a clean sheet. Plus, an Isak goal. Been an odd few days with the so-called lower sides turning over the rich and famous.  I’m glad we weren’t one of them. Three...

Andoni Goes Home

September 19, 2026

 

Posted at 09:55h in Uncategorized by

Some years ago, now we were in the Runcorn services after a home game and there was a family of Bournemouth fans in there. One young lad said, “We’re on minus seven now” referring to the points deduction they’d been handed at the start of the season. They were in the fourth tier of the...

The League Cup

September 17, 2026

 

Posted at 10:25h in Uncategorized by

Chelsea at home in the next round and like Spurs, it’s only domestic Cups they’re interested in this season. They’ve got a squad of around 150 so it could be another interesting night.    ...

Lewis The Lion

This felt like a League Cup game with a difference. Like it mattered to the players, to the manager, to the fans. There was an atmosphere. Helped by 6,000 Tottenham fans, there was rain, and we scored three goals that had everyone purring. We conceded one that we shouldn’t have but then Mama made one...

I LIKE THE LEAGUE CUP BUT I’M NOT SURE CLUBS DO

September 15, 2026

 

Posted at 06:19h in Uncategorized by

Tonight we play Tottenham in what looks on paper, as one the ties of the round but nobody expects either side to put out anything close to their best X1. Tottenham might go stronger because the domestic Cups are all they can be competitive in. No European commitments and they won’t be worrying any title...

As Nil-Nils Go…

September 13, 2026

 

Posted at 09:46h in Uncategorized by

As Nil-Nils go, Liverpool v Fulham was one that most at Anfield would have forgotten by the time the players had reached the sanctuary of the dressing room. It might not have even stayed in the memory vaults that long. From our side I dare say tiredness will be thrown into the equation but even...

Andoni Meets The Media

September 11, 2026

 

Posted at 15:30h in Uncategorized by

Andoni told the gathered media that BarCOLA was fit, his problem was cramps. Cody Gakpo could be fit or maybe not. Nice one Andoni, keep them hanging on. At the moment, the press chats seem cool and calm, let’s hope it stays that way. He also seems to like Lewis Koumas. As for me, I...

Red All Over The Land On Sale v Fulham

September 11, 2026

 

Posted at 07:45h in Uncategorized by

Issue 325 of Red All Over The Land will be on sale outside Anfield against Fulham. Martin will be at Flagpole Corner from around 11am and I’ll be floating between the Fan Park at the back of The Albert and outside the Main Stand opposite the Faith Room. We hope to have Andy there with...

Give Him The Money…

September 10, 2026

 

Posted at 07:15h in Uncategorized by

Andoni’s first European game and we won. He couldn’t ask for any more could he. It was a classic European night, but we did okay and deserved to win and in the second half it sounded like Anfield had found a bit of its voice. I think the referee helped. Watching him gave me the...

Euro Nights & Issue 325

September 8, 2026

 

Posted at 09:49h in Uncategorized by

A European night used to be so special, but when we play Atlético Madrid tomorrow it will have too much of a familiar ring to it. I look forward to it and will be wondering what Diego Simone will have up his sleeve. He’s not just a master of the dark arts, he invented most...
