We Are The Reds

Perth match on Sunday?
We'll be in Adelaide.

yes, we'll be playing Perth in Adelaide (Coopers) on Sunday ... ?!

Some random observations ... (1) If we had played at Coopers, we would have won comfortably. The skidding ball unnerved us slightly and our usually pinsharp passing was absent; (2) The (biased) eastern stats press had the Failure as the season favourite (and some, like Robbie Slater, have already aw...

I think "The original rivalry" is good. But pretty much anyone playing victory is a rivalry game because they are so hated by anyone not a fan. AU and MV tried to start #TheOriginal last year and have kept going with it this year which is good. Unfortunately the FFA are more worried about all their...

ok, my bad because Derby City is a rugby team ... but the original meaning for a sporting derby does come from Derby and means two teams from the same town playing each other. My point was that AUFC vs MV is not a derby; it may well be a grudge match, the 'original rivalry', red vs blue, Coke vs. Pe...

Btw, does anyone know why journalists are still calling this match a derby? How is it a derby? If they must call it something, then why not call it "the southern grudge match"? A derby is between two teams in the same city. Maybe this is just another reason why Val the Rubbish Journo shouldn't be a...

10:40 Am kick off Central European Time. Melbourne will be overconfident and that will be their downfall. .... fully agree. If you read the eastern states' press, the Failure have already won the title, after just one round. I don't think that MustKill has any idea what is in store for them at Adel...

3 - 0 to us and Berisha to be sent off.

0 - 3 to us. We were all over the Miaow at Marden SC and could have - should have? - had 4 by halftime. Our depth this year is the best we've ever had and of course we have the best coach in the league. What a contrast with the Miaow, who have gone backwards in the offseason and have a journeyman co...

I really liked the Andrew Cusson preview on Football Central. It was well informed, considered and refreshingly free of either bias or hyperbole. I will make sure that I read plenty more of his articles through the coming season.

This will be a good, strong win for us on Friday night. I'm tipping at least 3 - 0 to us and if the planets align, it could be 5 - 0, which would be our biggest win of the year and our biggest for a couple of seasons. Jero, the Arrow and Cirio are likeliest to score and Chelo and Bruce are the possi...

This will be a comfortable win for us; we'll knock in at least 3. The only question is whether WP can pull a few back. Depending on other results, we could then rise to third on the table after this weekend, which would leave 2nd as a highly achievable target next week. Again, though, it will depend...
