A Weekend In Paradise #1

February 24, 2025

 

Posted at 09:39h in Uncategorized by

I was out all Saturday afternoon with our twin granddaughters. At just after 5pm I had a spare minute to check the BBC Sports Page on my phone. Arsenal beaten by West Ham.  A sort well hidden air punch followed.  Of course, it wouldn't mean quite as much if we had a bad afternoon in...

No Case For The Defence

February 20, 2025

 

Posted at 07:44h in Uncategorized by

A point gained at Villa or a point dropped? Glass half empty or half full.  Mo, as usual, scores as does TAA. We go ahead, then have to fight back. Another two goals conceded so that's 18 conceded in 13 games.  Does the defence have a case or not?...

Editorial Issue 310

Welcome to Issue 310 of Red All Over The Land. I know the days of when you could work your life out once the fixture list was published died with the dinosaur but when you’re the editor of a Fanzine the fixture list now can drive you to drink.  Or in my case a short walk...

Tired & Weary

February 17, 2025

 

Posted at 08:48h in Uncategorized by

Okay, we beat Wolves but looked both tired and weary in doing so.  It was possibly the worst we've played all season in the league, certainly since Forest beat us. The goals from Diaz and Mo gave us what some saw as a comfortable two goal lead at halftime, but in some ways it flattered...

One Last Night In The Madhouse

February 13, 2025

 

Posted at 10:05h in Uncategorized by

This was one last night in the madhouse.  All the stuff at the end was crazy and will be remembered more than the game. Michael Oliver knows he had a bad night but in all honesty, we didn't play anywhere near our now expected level. We probably didn't deserve to win and we certainly didn't...

Plymouth Hoe Dear A Cup of Tears

February 9, 2025

 

Posted at 17:11h in Uncategorized by

When I saw our line up I was a bit worried. Turned out I had every right. Well done Plymouth, you deserved it. Wednesday v Everton is now even bigger. The only positive, is we might have a free weekend somewhere along the way....

Back To Wembley

February 7, 2025

 

Posted at 08:13h in Uncategorized by

Spurs came with the advantage of a goal lead but were blown away by the raucous Anfield atmosphere and the brilliance of the Liverpool team. In the end, I think Spurs went home glad it wasn't more than four.  The Dutch Masters [those on and off the pitch] dominated the game, our Magyar looked supreme...

Deadline Day & Nothing Happened

February 4, 2025

As is the norm, Liverpool linked with a few hundred potential  January signings and as ever, nothing happens. The summer signing rumours start today...

Beer, Brugge & Bournemouth

February 4, 2025

 

Posted at 10:18h in Uncategorized by

This is obviously late news. I spent four days in Brugge sampling its delights. Beating Bournemouth was massive especially as Man City failed to turn up at The Emirates. The forthcoming game against Everton is even bigger now....

A Loss But It Didn’t Matter

January 30, 2025

 

Posted at 07:44h in Uncategorized by

Losing by the odd goal in five against PSV in Eindhoven didn't really matter. Arne left almost the entire team back home in Liverpool and used the game to give not just the underused squad players game time but a few of the Academy lads as well.  A Cody Gakpo pen and a Harvey Elliott...
