We Shall Overcome

I can't say I'm a big fan of the half paced football we saw at Anfield today against Accrington Stanley. I understand the reasons why and without moving into any upper gear we won 4-0 and I suppose that alone pleased the hordes of schoolkids getting a rare chance to see some of their heroes...

Not Done Yet

January 9, 2025

We didn't deserve to win and we didn't win. First defeat in five months came in the League Cup semi first leg at Tottenham. A place a few weeks ago where we scored six. However, where there's a ref called Stuart Attwell there's controversy. You know what I mean. The second leg will have a...

The Wrong Medicine

Woke up on the day of the game against Manchester United and knew I wouldn't get to the game. Full of the bad stuff that goes around this year & travel plans all over the place due to the weather. I needed a tonic but didn't get one. The result was probably about right so...

This Liverpool Team Scares Me

December 30, 2024

Winning 5-0 away from home against West Ham was impressive.  Beating any side 5-0, home or away is impressive but watching this Liverpool side is a bit different. It's almost frightening.  I don't know what they do to the opposition but they scare me.  Today, yesterday and, I hope, tomorrow Mo Salah is the worlds...

When Leicester scored at the Anny Road end I didn't know until the Leicester fans started cheering. I was on Row 4 of the Kop and visibility wasn't good. As the first half laboured on and we hit the frame of the goal twice I was beginning to wish the fog would descend and we...

Glory, Glory

Glory, glory is what the Tottenham fans have been singing since 1961 but the modern day Spur may say they've not had very much glory since then. I was a bit worried that our game down at what used to be White Hart Lane would be a goal fest because like Spurs we can score...

Getting To Know Spurs

December 20, 2024

 

Posted at 10:05h in Uncategorized by

League Cup semi-final will be against Spurs. Two teams who can score goals but let plenty in at the moment. We have them this weekend so we should be getting to know them very soon. Probably three goalless draws now....

Into The Semi-Finals

Arne had to watch from the stands, half the team could watch with him as a vastly changed Liverpool edged past Southampton at St. Marys to reach the last four of the League Cup. In the Cup the performance is secondary, the result is the important thing and a 2-1 win was good enough for...

Editorial 308

Welcome to 308 of Red All Over The Land. Unfortunately, due to the time of the year I had to send this issue to our printers before the Fulham, Southampton and Tottenham games.  That’s life in Fanzine land but Paul the Printer wanted time off this Christmas, so I reluctantly agreed to his wishes.  I prefer...
