Morning all, happy Friday to you all.
So unless 12-year-olds read this blog, we all know that WWE (or WWF for all those hardcore "attitude" fans) is fake. Fake as Pamela Anderson's 'assets'.
So it was weird to see that some of the Australian media taking the Hulk Hogan/Ric Flair press conference a bit too seriously. Click to continue reading...

Morning all, welcome to another blog.
FP should start with a shout out to The West's Shayne Hope. For those who haven't caught the news this morning, Ireland were robbed of a spot in the World Cup after Thierry Henry used a blatant handball to help bail out France.
Checking out SH's twitter this morning gave FP a bit of a laugh: "Maradona's was the Hand of God - so Thierry Henry's must be the Hand of Frog, right? Click to continue reading...

Afternoon all, welcome to the blog.
Apologies for the lateness of this post, usually FP tries to have something by 8.30ish every morning, but delayed today's post in case any Perth Glory news came about.
Sadly, nothing has arrived as yet.
Just a quick point: FP will be away from Perth for about three weeks, working on another project. Click to continue reading...

Morning all, welcome to the blog.
Well, Mile Sterjovski didn't feature for the Socceroos - which in a way is good news, because it means he's injury free for Perth Glory. Seems like a selfish way of looking at things, but meh.
Meanwhile, congrats to the Kiwis for joining the party in South Africa - we couldn't dream about going there without ya. Click to continue reading...

Morning all, welcome to the blog on this sleepy Saturday.
As we are coming nearer and nearer to the end of the Interlull (which, if anyone was wondering, is a crass combination of international and lull) the news is starting to ramp up.
Of course, as most of you would be aware, coach Dave Mitchell held a presser yesterday as part of Perth Glory's midseason review, which was nothing more than a normal presser. Click to continue reading...

Morning all, welcome to the blog.
By the time you read this, Perth Glory coach Dave Mitchell will hold a testing session for his players and a "midseason" review with the good fellows of Perth's sports media.
What that means, FP doesn't know, but presumably it won't be any different than the usual Glory presser. Click to continue reading...

So we are still midway through the interlull, but there is still a quite a bit of Perth Glory news about town.
But before we get to that, just a bit of an update of what the Glory are up to this week.
First of all, FP just got word that the coach Dave Mitchell will be holding a press conference on Friday as part of his "midseason review". Click to continue reading...

So here we are, the first day of the "Interlull".
It's a time of year when everyone else couldn't care less about club news, let alone Perth Glory news.
Not too sure about the Glory's media commitments this week, but if they're anything like FP, then they will be on a good old fashioned holiday. Click to continue reading...

SO Wellington Phoenix haven't lost at home in 13 games, they have won their last two games there with nine goals scored - so after Perth Glory came away with a draw yesterday, is that a good result?
Of course it is.
It was the sort of match where a couple of moments of brilliance were need to notch a goal on the board. Click to continue reading...

Good morning all, welcome to the blog.
It's gameday, and with the action coming Wellington today, it means we only have to wait a few hours for a 12 o'clock kick-off.
On the other hand, it also means we have to deal with the New Zealand commenators, who would be front-runners for the 'worst football commenators in the world' award - if one were to actually exist. Click to continue reading...

Morning all, and greetings from one of the South West's nicest towns ... Dunsborough.
This and Busselton, used to be FP's old stomping ground when he used to be a foot-in-the-door journo for one of the local papers.
Not much has changed to be honest, which is something that doesn't surprise FP one bit. Click to continue reading...

Morning to the blog, guys and gals.
Just a bit of breaking news, Jamie Coyne will not be going to Wellington after he was ruled out with a thigh injury. What makes this even more interesting, was that no one picked on this at yesterday's presser, the assumption was that there were no new injuries. Click to continue reading...

TOP of the morning to ya, on this fine Thursday morning.
The Internet is a grand thing. Having all that information at your fingertips, ready to go at the click of a button.
For example, a couple clicks here and there, and you can find out the distance between Perth and Wellington is 5257. Click to continue reading...

Morning all, hopefully you were lucky in the Cup. FP wasn't - he drew Daffodil in the sweepstakes, which turned to be about as effective as a daffodil.
While the Glory boys will be training pretty hard for the remainder of the week, there aren't any scheduled media pressers until Thursday, so either FP will scrape the bottom of the barrel or he'll just make up stuff. Click to continue reading...

MORNING all, on this Melbourne Cup Day.
The day where many of you will probably place a bet, attend work functions, get pissed at the pub or all of the above.
While the nation stop for about three minutes to watch a couple horses race from one end of a Flemingtion track to another, Perth Glory are probably still licking their collective wounds after Sunday's game - which even made international media, though probably because El Zorro stuck a shiny sword into the bodice of the Glory.
