Editorial Issue 317 27 Oct 2025 - Before you ask, no I’m not happy and that’s got nothing to do with losing four Premier League games on the trot. This issue was planned to be out in time for the Manchester United game, but the weather intervened as did a plague of half ‘n half scarf wearing tourists. Trying to sell fanzines when it’s raining is a pain in the rear but not as big a pain as trying to convince someone who’s never been to Anfield that they shouldn’t be displaying the colours of any side other than Liverpool let alone the colours of Everton and Manchester United. A lot of these fans are coming at the expense of what I will term real fans who… ...
Brentford 3 Liverpool 2 26 Oct 2025 - Four league defeats in a row isn’t what I was expecting. As ever, no finger pointing but serious questions need to be asked and answered by not just the team, but the coaching staff as well. I need a couple of drinks before I turn in for the extra hour we get in bed but I don’t think I’ve anything strong enough to get that performance out of my system. Advice to Arne, get a tin hat. ...
Eintracht Frankfurt 1 Liverpool 5 23 Oct 2025 - Maybe everything wasn’t broken before this game so maybe everything isn’t fixed after it. The fans and the team needed a lift and by the end of this game the lift had been provided. Changes were finally made, proof in the pudding etc. We still went one down but then we came alive. VvD & Ibou have been a worry at the back this season, but on this night they were providers and along with Hugo who scored without taking his shirt off we were 3-1 up at halftime. Gakpo and SZOBO finally took us into the comfort lounge. Negatives? Injuries, Frimpong and Isak. ...
Liverpool 1 Manchester United 2 21 Oct 2025 - Another disjointed performance and another defeat. Apart from the once again blind eyed referee Michael Oliver and the visitors first goal their can be no excuses. It hurts to have to say it, but Manchester United deserved their first win at our ground since 2016. There are more things wrong at the moment than right. It’s now time for the manager to show a ruthless streak and sort things out. ...
Chelsea 2 Liverpool 1 5 Oct 2025 - I woke up this morning, and the storm was still raging over Merseyside and beyond. Only this wasn’t about Amy this was about Arne. No matter whose manager of Liverpool three straight defeats in a week isn’t acceptable. No finger pointing but some things are obvious. A two week break to get the head sorted. A two week break to get the head sorted. ...
Red All Over The Land Since 1995 Update 2 Oct 2025 - If you can't get to the John Barnes & Peter Beardsley night you will still be able to support the event. Raffle tickets will be on sale shortly. On the night we will also be entertained by this young man. https://youtube.com/shorts/MIr2Q6AIxhs?si=RrJioKeYl77SjyDL ...
Galatasaray 1 Liverpool 0 1 Oct 2025 - As I said in the editorial of Issue 316 of Red All Over The Land. In the modern age of football I don’t know if we’ve ever had it so good on the player front. Any result the mass media, the national press, TV or the keyboard warriors feel falls below expectations will be scrutinised in every detail and knives will be sharpened. It's happening isn't it. Yes, we were poor in Istanbul. Nothing's going to change the result. ...
Palace 2 Liverpool 1 27 Sep 2025 - We've been living on the edge. Now we've fell off. No excuses. ...
Liverpool 2 Southampton 1 24 Sep 2025 - The season is just 6 weeks old and our team have again perfected the art of putting us through the wringer. Glad to have won against Southampton and I thought Leoni was our best player until the injury. Very laboured performance & maybe the daftest sending off ever. ...
Liverpool 3 Atletico Madrid 2 18 Sep 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 the points. Maybe it makes life exciting but some of us are a bit too old, got dodgy tickers to keep going through the grinder. ...
