Too easy: Melbourne rebound with 4-0 thrashing

4
It was exactly the game the Melbourne Victory needed. A solid win with plenty of goals to keep the club at the top of A-League after seven rounds. Perth Glory were truly lacklustre, all across the pitch. Mitch Langerak was tested just once - and produced a wonderful acrobatic save to keep a clean sheet - [. Click to continue reading...

A-League weekend: Sydney to lose again?

1
Sydney to lose at home, Mariners to do wha Japanese Champs Kashima couldn't..and defeat Adelaide, Melbourne to give Perth a hiding and the Jets to draw with the Wellington mob.

In Canberra news, will Kaz Patafta start this weekend, and what's wrong with Socceroo..make that former Socceroo Nikolai Topor-Stanley. Click to continue reading...

Perth Glory to get the boot?

2
4,500 people at the recent Perth Glory/Wellington Phoenix has sent the FFA into realism mood.

Lift the game Perth or you are OUT!

Can the Perth Glory franchise stay in the league? They have the franchise until 2010 but if the crowds don't improve, to 8 or 9,000 (yes just 8 or 9,000)the Glory could be given the boot. Click to continue reading...

Why Canberra needs this.

4
Adelaide United fans celebrate last nights historic win. But how many people will turn-up for the Semi Final, they're already talking about switching venues to cope with the crowd...

And whilst Australia and particularly Canberra has been slow to grasp the opportunities that Asia can provide to football, to the city and the region; our own A-League side would benefit the city/region like no other sport. Click to continue reading...

'The Find Out': Salads Salads... and those Broncos

0
Had a great laugh as the Roar got fantastic coverage on ABCTV. Apart from the goals, there was a grab of Charlie talking about the Perth fans yelling out 'salads, salads.'

The Broncos have stuffed up the Roar's next home game - well it was the Warriors beating the Storm putting the Storm into Brisbane on Saturday and taking the top off the Roar crowd. Click to continue reading...

Mark Milligan....is he with Arnie?

4
Remember Mark Milligan, Socceroo, Olyroo, former rising Sydney FC star. He still doesn't have a club, but left Australia..for what?

Will he return? He could get a game with Perth Glory, they need him. Indeed his fellow Olyroo Trent McClenahan doesn't have a team either.

What's to become of the talented but seemingly lost Mark Milligan. Click to continue reading...

Australia bans "Hand of God!"

1
The FFA's match review panel has met. I can hear you sniggering, stop it.

Put your hand up to handle a ball or show a "charades like" let's book him Ref Card, and yep you're banned.

Kick the bejaysus out of someone, trip, pull and interfere with skilful players, exactly what the fans come to see. Click to continue reading...

Magnificent Mariners...Mile and McAllister

4
Central Coast Mariners smashed Queensland 4-2 and Sydney FC put four (4-1) past Perth.

The Mariners lost Ahmed Elrich for the season due to injury and Adrian Caceres before the match.

But they needn't have worried.

Mile Jedinak was back and wiped out any threat from Charlie Miller or indeed any Roar player. Click to continue reading...

W-League:Recruitment drive on.

8
With a number of Coaches announced or about to be announced the race is on to sign the players.

It's a national league and with TV exposure Sydney FC or Queensland Roar romping home with huge win margins would help no-one. So a cunning plan has been devised to spread the player quality across the League and the Country. Click to continue reading...

A-League: Goals, Cole, Goals

3
Shannon Cole scored a superb late free-kick to give Sydney FC an away win in Gosford, and Jade North found the net even later for the Jets in Perth.

Goals everywhere in the opening games.

Shannon Cole scored the winner, he almost did the same the week before against Melbourne. Last week his free kick bounced off the post, this week it went in to seal the win against the Mariners. Click to continue reading...

Oh Nikita you could have been a hero

2
Argentina defeated Australia 1-0 in Shanghai but Perth Glory's Nikita Rukavystya could have stole the show....if he'd have finished one of his three chances.

Argentina ran the show, but Aussie Coach Graham Arnold had his defence working overtime to halt the threat of the Olympic Champions. Click to continue reading...

Lucky Melbourne: Pre-Season Cup Wellington 0 v Melbourne 0 (Victory on penalties)

1
Lucky Melbourne. Lucky Lucky Michael Theoklitos. He should be watching the first few games from his lounge room. He still may if the FFA decides to review the DVD of the game.

Melbourne won but it took them 9 kicks in the penalty shootout. Theoklitos saved them. But he may have been sent off in about the 50th. Click to continue reading...

Olyroos Lack Teeth

2
The Olympic team was announced today and I must say I am disappointed. Greame Arnold has left out Djite, Burns, Williams, Vidosic. He has bizarrely used age as a reason for the decision not to take Djite or Burns. These are the same players that have played against the likes of Kevin Muscat and Craig Moore week in week out.

Australia's Perth Glory, a club that is affiliated with Manchester City, began its pre-season tour of Indonesia with a 2-1 victory against Persik Kediri.

Forward James Robinson and trialist Anthony Skorich both scored in the second half against the Indonesian outfit who are two-time Indonesian Super League Champions. Click to continue reading...

Andrew Durante goes to New Zealand!

While the A-League season officially ended for some on the weekend, Wellington Phoenix have been finished for some time.

But don't think they are happy with their records crowd and bottom place in Season 1.

Are we the worst supporters in the land?

Last week I was wandering around some of the other A-League clubs' forums and found a forum post entitled "The Worst Supporters in the Land" on the Perth Glory's forum. To quote directly from there: "Well, we certainly have come full circle. Once upon a time we had the best team in the land with the most vocal [. Click to continue reading...

Rd 15: Glory vs. Victory: 3 - 1

1
With both Adelaide United and the Newcastle Jets winning all three points on Friday night, the Melbourne Victory's Sunday-arvo match against the Perth Glory became all the more critical. A win would keep the Victory within a game of reaching the top 4; anything less would see them recede further away from finals football. Click to continue reading...

Preview: Perth Glory vs. Melbourne Victory

5
Three weeks ago, under the new coaching of David Mitchell, you would have called the Perth Glory a resurgent force. Mitchell replaced the out-of-favour Ron Smith and within days the Glory sealed their first win in a year - a triumphant 4-1 victory away over the Newcastle Jets. But the glory was short-lived.

7 Rounds To Go: A Brief Overview

With the A-League starting its final 7 rounds this week, it's a good time to take a look at how Melbourne's fate is panning out alongside its competitors. I've heard plenty of pessimistic talk from Melbourne fans recently, but a cursory look at how other teams are performing should give Victory supporters plenty of cause [.

Round 9: Victory v Glory. 2-1

2
Melbourne's season finally started to look up last night, after a strong performance against Perth Glory. After last week's abysmal display against Adelaide and the off-field drama's that followed, it couldn't have come at a better time. It was all about the first half for Melbourne. And the man that really shone was Carlos Hernandez. Finally, [...] Click to continue reading...

The Perth Glory will line up against the Melbourne Victory at the Telstra Dome tomorrow night, in a rematch of the Round 2 clash that ended in a rather drab 0 - 0 draw.

The Melbourne Victory takes on the Newcastle Jets tonight. Before the season began, I tipped the Newcastle Jets for a low finish this year. We're four weeks in and the Jets are in 2nd place, with two wins and two draws to their name. But I'm still not convinced that Newcastle have what it takes to [...] Click to continue reading...

The Melbourne Victory's form at the Telstra Dome may not have been its best (the Victory had a better record away than at home last season), but this hasn't done anything to dampen the spirits of what is bound to be a record-breaking 20,000 members. Perth may not be the most glorious (pardon the pun) [...] Click to continue reading...
