It’s the final game of the final round for season 2018/19 and for Wellington tonight the equation is simple; don’t lose by two goals if they don’t want to drop to sixth. For Perth the equation is even simpler, don’t get injured. With the Premiers able to celebrate a final round home game without pressure.… Continue reading The Premiers End Their Season In All Their Glory

It was the last game of the season in the notoriously annoying, expensive and empty ANZ stadium. But ya know what, for one last night, I’d say it was bittersweet, in a way… We have had great memories at this stadium, even though the last 3 seasons have been a thorn in our sides. Remember… Continue reading Western Sydney Wanderers End Three Year Relationship By Going Down

Sydney FC made the trip to the Hunter for their last game of the regular season and the last opportunity for a hit out before their bye week leading into the semi finals. Newcastle Jets however, well they’re on holidays tomorrow.

On a lovely Saturday evening up in the coast, 5,059 spectators were lucky enough to witness Matt Simon at his finest. By looking at the crowd, at least 1,000 of those were Wanderers fans. Matt Simon you ask? Yes Matt Simon! Matty ‘Break Yer Legs’ Simon kept some of that angst he held on to… Continue reading Matt Simon Double Builds Wanderers’ Character

Saturday night football started with the Roar hosting the Jets, in what was supposed to be the start of a nice send off for the retiring Matt McKay. The Roar decided to play the “yoof” (youth) with 6 players under 21 and two teens on the bench it was definitely going to be a night… Continue reading Joey Champness Given A 5 Star Rating For Exceptional Delivery

Let me set the scene: it was a perfect Good Friday evening, a balmy 27 degrees prior to kick-off to start our long weekends, and Cooper’s set to be packed with the GA allocation exhausted.

Perth Glory travel to Sydney after reaching the clubs highest high in 15 years. Sunday night saw Perth Glory defeat the Newcastle Jets 1-0. crowning them A-League Premiers.
