What does "all" mean in this context?
SUB Newcastle 1-1 Man City (66 mins) It's all Newcastle here and there's another cross which is begging to be put away. Man City goalscorer Josko Gvardiol is on hand with a vital interception.

You need to TELL US that this is a TAPE. It's spoken, football English. If I were not a football game watcher, I might not have understood it. Also, where are you getting these recordings?– LambieCommented Oct 16 at 16:53

Can you please close some of these? I have tried to help you several times and the favor is not returned.– LambieCommented Oct 29 at 16:41

This means that Newcastle players are controlling the ball and game at that particular moment of the game.

@MariosAthanasiou There's something wrong re the question you answered. It's not clear to me whether it's spoken or written. And by the way, A noun or verb phrase heading a sentence has no subject at all. Consider: Wondering about the question, he leaned over his desk and picked up another article.– LambieCommented Oct 18 at 14:38
It means that Newcastle are dominating the game
“All” is, of course hyperbolic, but most of the play on the ball, most of the field position, and most of the attacking moves/shots on goal, are by Newcastle. At least, at the time of the comment - the score is 1-1, so it can’t literally have been all Newcastle all of the time.

Where can I look "all" up in to mean "dominate" in a dictionary?– ShakilaCommented Oct 16 at 21:49

Yes, if you ask that as a new question I can answer it, but I’m not answering in a comment– Dale MCommented Oct 16 at 23:28
