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...

Sporting Director Required

September 5, 2026

 

Posted at 12:02h in Uncategorized by

Richard Hughes has departed. I’ll be fair, it’s hard to criticise someone when you don’t know what their job is, or in his case, was. If it’s necessary to have a Sporting Director or a Director of football [fancy names] then get one who’d on the same wavelength as the manager. A football person, someone...

Tractors Turned Over

September 5, 2026

 

Posted at 08:52h in Uncategorized by

Put the worry beads away for now. It wasn’t about Bradley Barcola, it was about Alexander Isak. His two goals inside the first ten minutes, aided and abetted by Cody Gakpo gave us control. Our vulnerability has been when we’ve seemed in control but then threw it all away. Not tonight and with Ronald Araújo...

Ipswich On A Friday Night

September 4, 2026

 

Posted at 16:13h in Uncategorized by

The transfer window had finally been slammed up and a sign, reopening in the New Year covered the serving hatch. I’m sure managers, coaches etc; breathed a sigh of relief. Many real fans did the same because nobody wants to wake up to the sound of the rumour mill grinding on and on. At Liverpool...

Editorial Issue 325

September 1, 2026

 

Posted at 07:59h in Uncategorized by

Welcome to Issue 325 of Red All Over The Land. I’ve got to make a confession because up until a month or so ago all I knew about Amazon was that they delivered parcels but I’ve never placed an order with them although the wife has. If you’d mentioned Jeff Bezos was coming to Liverpool I’d...

Rescue Act But No Victors

August 29, 2026

 

Posted at 17:55h in Uncategorized by

From what I hear one of the minority investors turned up at Anfield to watch the Forest game.  I wonder if he could convince the club that we need to be major investors in a few defenders along with someone who can do a defensive job in midfield.  Just a thought. Forest were the better side by a long...

Spurs At Home In The League Cup

August 27, 2026

 

Posted at 07:57h in Uncategorized by

You can't complain when you get a home draw in the League Cup although I was hoping for Fleetwood. The usual practice would be to field the shadow squad but as things are I don't think we've got one. Anyway, positive time, Wembley, here we come. ...

Andoni Needs A Little Help From His Friends

August 23, 2026

 

Posted at 18:25h in Uncategorized by

We didn’t exactly relight the ring of fire, but we didn’t extinguish it either. It was an emotional day up on the Toon and I for one, will happily take a point. Whether we deserved it is down to others so if you don’t mind, I’ll leave it to the experts, the non-experts and the...

Relight The Ring Of Fire

August 21, 2026

 

Posted at 15:36h in Uncategorized by

The signings the fans wanted and expected/demanded haven’t materialised and the rumoured signings remain just rumours. Andoni Iraola has done his first pre-match press conference as Liverpool supremo, so I watched and listened to every word.  It was somewhat refreshing to hear him say “We’re in a good place” and there was no catalogue of injuries to...
