Issue 300 Editorial

February 16, 2024

 

Welcome to Issue 300 of Red All Over The Land. When I started this Fanzine back in 1995, I wasn’t expecting to reach 300 issues.  A few fanzines have achieved the landmark but not too many I would suspect.    One thing I do know is that Red All Over The Land wouldn’t have gotten close if...

Hard Work But A Win

February 11, 2024

 

We made hard work of beating Burnley who gave us a lot of problems. However, we got over the line thanks goals from Jota, Diaz, and Darwin. The 3-1 win sent us back to the top after Everton had unfortunately lost at Manchester City. Another “I was there” moment as the game drew the biggest...

Out Gunned

February 5, 2024

 

So the run came to an end down in North London. Too many players off key and others just not at the game. Second defeat in 34 says something about how we've played and the big test will be getting things back on track.  The 3-1 score line came about with two massive errors so...

Oh What A Night

February 1, 2024

 

The performance against Chelsea and the 4-1 win was, in my opinion, the best I've seen from this team since we won the title. Simply sensational. All the headlines are about Connor Bradley and rightly so. Made a couple of goals and scored one and had Chelsea in his pocket. If only Nunez could stop...

The Long Goodbye Has Started

January 29, 2024

 

Not a truly pulsating Cup-tie like the one in Round 3 but job done.  Obviously, this was the start of Jürgen’s long farewell and one thing for certain there will be games when the temperature down there on the pitch and in the Stands will be a bit hotter that it was against a very...

Does This Train Stop At Wembley

January 25, 2024

 

This was a night when the performance didn't matter, just the result.  The one-all down at Fulham gave us a ticket to ride. Does this train stop at Wembley? Ask Jurgen, he's driving the train!...

Blowing In The Wind

January 22, 2024

 

When we went down to Bournemouth for the League Cup in November the country was being hit by Storm Ciaren.  This time it was Storm Isha doing its worst to blow the country apart.  Thankfully Liverpool had taken Diego Jota and Darwin Nunez as wind blocks, and they did what the manager and travelling fans...

Young Guns Gun Down The Gunners

January 21, 2024

 

I watched the Liverpool Under 18 side beat the Arsenal Under 18's 7-1 in the FA Youth Cup. Brilliant goals and a great performance. Koumas [3]m Danns and Kone-Doherty two each....

Was That A Semi Final?

January 11, 2024

 

If there's an argument to make League Cup semi-finals a straight knock out, this was it. Liverpool looked a bit misshapen and disorganised in the first half and Fulham deservedly led 1-0 at halftime.  Second half was better and the crowd came to life. Darwin Nunez came on and lo and behold Liverpool scored twice....
