One Last Night In The Madhouse

February 13, 2025

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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...

A Stroll In The Sun

January 26, 2025

 

It was rare day at Anfield for the Ipswich game, it was sunny. Cold but sunny and a good day for playing football surely. For once we didn't mess around and in effect got the job done by halftime. We played at half pace most of the time and the only annoying bit was the...

A Night Off

January 22, 2025

 

I suppose the good news after beating Lille 2-1 at a soggy Anfield is that we now get a night off when the next round is played. Would have been two but they've stuck Everton in.  I thought it was a bit fragmented due to all the changes before and during but players getting time...

Editorial 309

January 19, 2025

 

Welcome to Issue 309 of Red All Over The Land. The last month or so has veered somewhere between exhilarating and bloody frustrating.  Maybe the game down at Brentford encapsulated the whole mood during the ninety-five minutes the players were on the pitch.  Had the game ended in another points dropped scenario the dark mood that...

Late News The Evolution Of Darwin Is Back On

January 18, 2025

 

Probably like the majority I was beginning to wonder if we'd ever score but the Darwin Nunez did. We can sleep easy for a week. Brentford's home form has been a bit iffy of late but they gave Manchester City a game in midweek and they gave us one today. Tonight we can celebrate Darwin...
