Liverpool (15-03-2026)

Liverpool 1 - 1 Spurs (Premier League), Sunday 15 March 2026

This was always going to be a bit of a comedown from my half marathon extertions earlier in the day, but this was compounded by a poor Liverpool performance. They had enough to put away Spurs in the first half but lacked a cutting edge.

The away side grew more confident and the only surprise was that it took them until the last minute to score. A ponderous and directionless second half for Liverpool. Their season may be coming to an abrupt anti-climax already after such an efficient league title last year. This was actually our first Liverpool game of the season, but by this showing we have not missed much. The highlight today was picking up the latest Red All Over The Land to browse through at a later date.

Colliers Wood (05-03-2026)

Colliers Wood U18 6 - 1 AFC Wisla Krakow (Combined Counties U18), Thursday 5 March 2026

A low-key start to my 2026 matches saw a dominant performance by Colliers Wood. The ground was on the outskirts of Wimbledon, nr Raynes Park. The highlight of the evening was one of the best portions of fish and chips I've ever had - a reason to visit this corner of the capital again.

This league and its equivalents are good bets for those hard to find Thursday evening matches so I'm glad I found this one (only £5 entry too!). Much more favourable than the Spurs-Palace match the other side of London, which would have set me back c£120.
