We Are The Reds

And why the need for this manufactured "rivalry round"? Looks to be a good move IMO - two bumper rounds to start the season so far and this rivalry round looks to be helping keep the momentum going. FFA have been (fairly) criticised in previous seasons for neglecting the A-League, and when they do ...

United should win. Sydney aren't a bad side on paper but Lavicka seems to be coming under fire for his tactics.

And why the need for this manufactured "rivalry round"?

Playing him up front was just daft. Seriously, Durakovic hasn't shown to be a big improvement on Merrick and signing Kewell doesn't really disguise or maybe even adds to some of the fundamental problems that have been building up at Melbourne Victory. Firstly, their defence isn't great even though M...

Excellent win. Amazing how much Victory have declined too.

Well, Adelaide United did sign Agostino knowing he was injury-prone for years. But this takes it to a whole new level.

Yep you heard me, Jets have sacked Branko Culina and apparently are trying to get Jason's contract voided.

My brief look at the teams: Adelaide United: potential champions. Even without the flair of Flores, much better depth overall. Brisbane Roar: even with the loss of three key players, Ange's system means that this will not be as big a blow and it did happen when SVD left. Central Coast Mariners: can ...

Just so I can do the season review/preview on my blog soon...

A better signing than Kewell. He's still a Premier League level player, and is more likely to be playing.

It's a coup but also a risk. Kewell has been injury-prone for years and it's not as if returning Socceroos have all set the A-League alight.

When I write it up, you're free to read it! Patience is a virtue my friends.

I'm going to write a club-by-club series on the state of each A-League club, assessing their performance on and off the field, probably diverging into things like crowds, youth, finances, etc. Of course it's going to be my observations and opinion on things, but I'll gladly appreciate your feedback ...
