Red In Dublin
« Previous EntriesEnd of an era
There were some good, great, fair and balanced articles on Rafa in the last few days. Here are ones I liked from Rory Smith, Dion Fanning and James Corrigan. This is a final reminder of the man’s class. I hope we do but I fear we won’t see a man of hi…

Dull Hull
A 0-0 draw away to Hull was a suitably drab way to end to finish what has been a dour and depressing season. We did manage to hit the woodwork through Gerrard and their keeper made a string of good saves. But we didn’t have it all our own way and Pepe…

Europa knockout and Chelsea collapse
What a week it’s been. FIrst we crashed out of Europe on away goals with a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid. We played pretty well for 60-70 mins but ran out of steam and ideas. We did get to see some nice goals for Aquilani and Yossi but when Forlan sc…

To the Maxi
Atletico beat us 1-0 in Madrid on Thursday night to put them firmly in the driving seat of this two legged tie. In truth, it wasn’t a great game or performance from either team. Forlan did well to beat Pepe but it was a scrappy goal that we should ha…

Three and easy
Thanks Hammers. A 3-0 home win was exactly what we needed ahead of a Europa league semi final on Thursday. The Londoners turned up in body but not in mind and didn’t really look up for it. Yossi opened the scoring from a Gerrard free kick on the right. It tucked it into the net [...]

Fulham frustrate
The 0-0 draw with Fulham on Sunday was sadly predictable. As is often the case when Torres is out, we lacked the cutting edge to break down a massed defence, despite all of our possession. Watching the game, it didn’t look like a goal would come. Fairplay to Fulham, they parked the bus and got [...]

Europa joy
What would you prefer, a Europa cup or fourth spot in the league and a Champions League place? I would have said fourth spot at the start of the season but as time goes by, I’m warming to the idea of a Europa cup. The 4-1win over Benfica on Thursday night got the heart racing. [...]
Benfica away and Birmingham home
We went to Portugal last week and came back with an away goal but little else. Danny Agger gave us the opener with this lovely flick. Then Luisao went through Torres from behind in a tackle that should have seen him see red. Babel decided to step in and defend El Nino, which is fair [...]
