Liverpool 3 Atletico Madrid 2

September 18, 2025

 

The first few minutes weren’t too bad. The final few minutes weren’t too bad. Anyone know what happened in between? I don’t know and not sure even Arne knows. Two up before some of the crowd had worked out where they were sitting but we still needed something from VvD to rescue...

Burnley 0 Liverpool 1

September 14, 2025

 

When the wind is blowing and rain is falling there aren’t too many places less inviting than Burnley. We had 27 shots and thankfully the last one went in. Felt sorry for Alisson Becker who could have watched from the stands rather than have to stand around on the pitch. Arne didn’t seem to...

Editorial 316

September 11, 2025

 

Welcome to Issue 316 of Red All Over The Land. After the Diogo Tribute issue, followed by the catch-up Issue, I'm hoping that normal service has now resumed.  The transfer window does feature in this issue.  Just about everyone had something to say. The first three games of the season reaped nine points, I’m not quite sure...

Liverpool 1 Arsenal 0

September 1, 2025

 

Monday was war in the air, yesterday a bit more cultured. I was worried about the defence but it seemed almost a masterclass. Like the Arsenal keeper I didn't see the Szobo free kick, from where I was sat in the Main Stand Upper near the Anny Road end it was just a blur. I...

Cups Of Cheers

August 29, 2025

 

Southampton at home in the League Cup should let us see some of the talent we have bubbling under. Look forward to that. The European League [AKA Champions League] looks tough on the face of it. Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, PSV Eindhoven and Qarabag at Anfield and away dates with Inter, Eintracht Frankfurt, Marseille and Galatasaray. I hope we give TAA the welcome he deserves....

Editorial 315

August 26, 2025

 

Welcome to Issue 315 of Red All Over The Land. We follow swiftly on from Issue 314, the Diogo Jota Tribute Issue and do a bit of catching up before Issue 316 comes out in time for the derby.  By then we’ll know the players we have with us until at least January.  Due to time...

Newcastle 2 Liverpool 3

August 26, 2025

 

Like against Bournemouth we seemed on course for a comfortable win but then things went adrift and we needed a late, late goal deep into added time to get the three points. This time the player they’d all be talking about on the way home, in houses and bars all over the land would be...

Liverpool 4 Bournemouth 2

August 16, 2025

 

Summing up last night I would say a real mixed bag. Defence looked dodgy but, in the end, we won but we need to sort out the obvious. Credit to Bournemouth and their fans. If the racist allegations are correct, I hope the club & the police deal with it. Not wanted at any time...

Late News #2

August 8, 2025

 

So, two games for the price of one. After the shadow squads had met it down to the serious business for the more senior line-ups. A bit more competitive and a 3-2 win for the reds. Salah scored, missed a penalty and Tony Gakpo got a strange hattrick. Scoring two for us and one...

Late News #1 Liverpool 4 Bilboa 1

August 8, 2025

 

The first game of the double header against Athletic Club Bilboa saw the Liverpool shadow squad beating the Bilboa shadow squad 4-1. Storm Floris had been raging over parts of the northwest but after five minutes the Spaniards had run into Storm Rio – or Ngumoha to give it its full name. The player all...
