Last home game of the season for Sydney

Friday, March 12th, 2010

After a near interminable wait between the first and second legs of the major semi final, it’s a nice change to have only six days between matches in the lead-up to the preliminary final. Saturday night represents the last time Sydneysiders will be able to see their team at home this season, with the winner [...]

Second leg heartbreak sets up sudden-death playoff with Phoenix

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

The night had so much promise but ended up yielding only one of the biggest sporting downers I’ve experienced in a long time. It was truly quite cruel in the end - after fighting back to level the tie at 3-3 (2-1 on the night) and forcing extra time, to lose to a poor call [...]

Sydney topple Melbourne to claim first Premiership

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

I would have liked to have published this earlier, but due to the previously mentioned site downtime that was impossible. It certainly was a tremendous night and I’d go as far as to say it’s the most I’ve ever enjoyed myself at a football match. Standing and singing with the Cove as the boys in [...]

Steve Corica to retire at end of season

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Sydney FC captain Steve Corica today announced that this will be his final year as a player, moving smoothly into a coaching role at the club. With the big match against Melbourne this Sunday to decide the Premiership, it adds just a little more spice to an already thrilling end of season.
Personally, I’ve loved watching [...]

Sydney FC 3-1 Wellington Phoenix

Slow news day fellas?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

The poor quality emergency toilet paper masquerading as a newspaper, Sydney’s trashy Daily Telegraph, has managed to hit a new low. According to the article, Sydney FC’s crowd last weekend was inflated by approximately 2000. They’ve actually sat down and attempted to do a head count from video footage of the stadium - are these [...]

Sydney back to top after knocking off the Roar

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Pretty decent win by Sydney today to go back to the top of the ladder (with a little help from Wellington - who somehow knocked off Gold Coast to the tune of 6-0!). Bit of a shocking start with the team struggling to get forward at all but after 20 minutes or so it really [...]

Awesome Sydney demolish Melbourne

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Wow! What a result! Sydney FC really brought their best to Melbourne tonight, three lovely first-half goals (all in the space of 6 or so minutes) blew away the home team. Tremendous effort by the team all round, Bridge and Brosque quite spectacular. First place on the table for another week, now with the added [...]

We are top of league (repeat ad infinitum)

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

With a 1-0 over neighbors Central Coast - and following draws for top spot rivals Gold Coast and Perth - Sydney FC went clear top of the table after round 9. Probably too soon to get excited (although I am) as this Friday night is the first of the traditional grudge matches against Melbourne Victory. [...]
