My thoughts

Brentford Preamble 16 Oct 2026 - Andoni was asked about the fitness of Gakop, Isak and Szoboszlai but he didn’t seem to be too sure about their chances of facing Brentford so I think that could mean they won’t. He sounded a bit protective when asked about Rio, Trey and Lewis but I would expect all three of them to get on the pitch down in London. Brentford play in a certain way and the manager said he expected a physical battle knowing it will be about set-pieces, especially the long throw. It was our Achilles heel last season, so we’ll find out how we cope this time around. Our problem is that we can’t afford to have players out of the side and Gravenberch will… ...

The Real Thing 15 Oct 2026 - Before the LASK game I said I don’t know where the goals are going to come from. Well, they came from everywhere and Bradley BarCOLA finally showed he could be the real thing with a hattrick. Even so, the happiest man on the pitch might have been Lewis Koumas who also had the ball in the net three times but unfortunately only one counted. Big Ron and Jeremy Frimpong got their names on the scoresheet, so I got the answer to my question. To score six away in Europe gives a good feeling. Conceding three takes a little bit off the gloss but I put that down to the changes even if the changes saw VvD and Joe Gomez coming… ...
Euro Night Preamble 14 Oct 2026 - I have to say that our manager sounded a bit more upbeat than I expected when he talked about the game tonight against LASK. We will still be without Isak, Gakpo and Szoboszlai and Andoni hinted at changes from Sunday. On a normal day we’d be expected to beat the Austrian champions but normal days and the current Liverpool rarely travel together. A club of our stature shouldn’t be in this position but sadly we are where we are. I don’t know where goals are going to come from but let’s hope some of those big money signings can provide an answer of two. ...

The Shame Game 12 Oct 2026 - There’s probably been a few million words already written about yesterday’s game, some of it controversial, some of it predictable but nothing can disguise the fact that we lost and probably lost because of Ryan Gravenberch getting the red card. Without jumping into the conspiracy theories, group players on a yellow card know another foul often means a red. As soon as Ryan Gravenberch did it, I knew what to expect. Those who appoint the match officials should know that sending a referee from the Manchester area to referee a game at Anfield against either United or City is a risk and Chris Kavanagh has form. You get the impression that they are complicit too.When it was 11 v 11… ...
The Only Points That Matter 10 Oct 2026 - After having a few days walking around the most northerly tip of North Wales and avoiding all the Manchester City gossip, I started to think about the game tomorrow. Even in a remote place such as where we were you could sense what the build-up was going to be about, sadly there was only one show in town, that is until Everton got put up for sale. I felt for the managers of the Premier League clubs because they were all going to be asked their opinion about what they’re now branding SHAMGATE. I suppose it had to have a title but in the main the managers said it was nothing to do with them and that’s how I see… ...
Money Corrupts & The Corrupt Have The Money 2 Oct 2026 - In a week that you would have expected football to have been dominated by the international games and results, they’ve hardly had a mention compared to the news that came out of the independent Manchester City inquiry. It gave every hack in the sporting world the chance to give their thoughts not only on the verdicts, but on what should happen next. Equally so, just about every football fan in this country and others from across the universe have had their say which is fair enough. It seems as if everyone who could do so came up with what was probably an AI inspired cartoon sketch or video mocking the oil rich club and raising the odd chuckle or two.… ...
Has The PL Got Any Guts 26 Sep 2026 - After what seemed like an eternity the verdict of Manchester City has been announced. That is, they have been found ‘guilty’ on 114 out of 115 of the charges laid against them. The furore that followed was understandable with the world and its mate all having an opinion and, of course, a thousand suggestions about what to do next followed. Strip the club of their titles, Cups and everything else that has come their way during the period under investigation. Relegate them, hit them hard with fines but it won’t be that easy. The Premier League have already created a precedent with their handling of Chelsea. They knew what was going on at Chelsea but didn’t do anything about it… ...
RAOTL Editorial 24 Sep 2026 - Welcome to Issue 326 of Red All Over The Land. I’m seriously having to think about the future of the Fanzine. Selling at Anfield is getting harder by the season, in fact, by the game. We’re now down to just three sellers at league games, Martin and Andy at Flagpole corner and myself outside the Main Stand. At European games it’s just Martin and myself with a helping hand from Liam when he gets over from Ireland. At the recent League Cup game, it was just me. This has cost the Fanzine sales because we can’t cover all the bases. The majority who now attend games at Anfield have no real idea what a Fanzine is and those who have… ...
