Euro Night Preamble

October 14, 2026

 

Posted at 07:06h in Uncategorized by

I have to say that our manager sounded a bit more upbeat than I expected when he talked about the game tonight against LASK. We will still be without Isak, Gakpo and Szoboszlai and Andoni hinted at changes from Sunday. On a normal day we’d be expected to beat the Austrian champions but normal days...

The Shame Game

October 12, 2026

 

Posted at 07:56h in Uncategorized by

There’s probably been a few million words already written about yesterday’s game, some of it controversial, some of it predictable but nothing can disguise the fact that we lost and probably lost because of Ryan Gravenberch getting the red card. Without jumping into the conspiracy theories, group players on a yellow card know another foul...

The Only Points That Matter

October 10, 2026

 

Posted at 11:55h in Uncategorized by

After having a few days walking around the most northerly tip of North Wales and avoiding all the Manchester City gossip, I started to think about the game tomorrow. Even in a remote place such as where we were you could sense what the build-up was going to be about, sadly there was only one...

Money Corrupts & The Corrupt Have The Money

October 2, 2026

 

Posted at 09:01h in Uncategorized by

In a week that you would have expected football to have been dominated by the international games and results, they’ve hardly had a mention compared to the news that came out of the independent Manchester City inquiry. It gave every hack in the sporting world the chance to give their thoughts not only on the...

Has The PL Got Any Guts

September 26, 2026

 

Posted at 12:13h in Uncategorized by

After what seemed like an eternity the verdict of Manchester City has been announced. That is, they have been found ‘guilty’ on 114 out of 115 of the charges laid against them. The furore that followed was understandable with the world and its mate all having an opinion and, of course, a thousand suggestions about...

RAOTL Editorial

September 24, 2026

 

Posted at 09:50h in Uncategorized by

Welcome to Issue 326 of Red All Over The Land. I’m seriously having to think about the future of the Fanzine. Selling at Anfield is getting harder by the season, in fact, by the game. We’re now down to just three sellers at league games, Martin and Andy at Flagpole corner and myself outside the Main...

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.    ...
