Editorial Issue 279

January 11, 2022

 

Welcome to Issue 279 of Red All Over The Land. The past few weeks haven’t been the best here in Fanzine Land.  Things had just settled down on the NFC front and we’d worked out a reasonable way of coping with it.  Only we then get told fans need to take proof of Covid vaccinations to...

Half & Half Day

January 11, 2022

 

We don't like half & half scarves and there were plenty on view for the Third Round FA Cup game against Shrewsbury.  Not just round the necks of the fans but on the pitch as well. Our line-up was half the first team and half the Academy; that's what the Covid crisis is doing to...

Catching Up

January 11, 2022

 

The Boxing Day game was cancelled because of Covid cases at Leeds United which was annoying especially if you enjoy Boxing Day football. We then lost at Leicester and failed to score for the first time in about nine months. Poor showing but we then got a decent draw down at Chelsea despite having players...

Spot On & Into The Semi Final

December 23, 2021

 

When I saw the starting eleven of the two teams I thought Leicester were wanting a win, almost a full side out. We went with 10 changes from the game on Sunday. When James Vardy scored twice in the first 15 minutes the cold wet night looked even bleaker. The Ox gave us hope but...

Another Blind Man In A VAR Van

December 23, 2021

 

The team we were forced to start with meant getting anything from Tottenham would have been a struggle but we got a point. Jota and Robbo got the goals in the two all draw but the talking point was the referee and the man in the VAR van. Fair enough, Robbo deserved his Red Card...

The Scouser In Our Team

December 17, 2021

 

It was worrying news to discover VvD & Fab would be missing because of Covid stuff and Curtis Jones return to active service was further delayed by it. However, we survived and deservedly beat Newcastle. My concerns intensified when we went one down but Jota and Mo turned it round didn't they? The goal from...

Gerrard Loses At Anfield

December 11, 2021

 

Okay, so it took a Mo Salah penalty but only one team was trying to win this game and it wasn't Aston Villa. Wasting time from the off & being given a helping hand by a referee who shows a level of incompetence that has to be seen to be believed. As someone said, "The...

Editorial Issue 277

December 8, 2021

 

Welcome to Issue 278 of Red All Over The Land. I will never criticise Divock Origi again!  There I’ve said it. It’s been a funny few weeks but what a few weeks.  It could be said that we didn’t play at our best against both Arsenal and Southampton but when we win 4-0 I didn’t hear too...

100% In The Group Of Death

December 8, 2021

 

Nearly up to date again. Great win in the San Siro even with half a team having a rest day.  We came back from one down to win 2-1, but you already knew that and you also know Mo & that man Divock, scored the goals. The Group of Death was no problem was it,...
