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.

IT'S a cliche to say that a loss is disappointing. EVERY loss is disappointing, from the big thrashings to the winner in the 94th minute.
But what is different is the reasons for the disappointment, well usually.
Yesterday Perth Glory lost 2-1 to Melbourne Victory and it's the third successive lost for the boys in Purple. Click to continue reading...

SO it's matchday. Welcome to the preview blog, boys and gals.
Melbourne have won five of the last six games, though they haven't won in four games at ME Bank Stadium against Perth.
This week, Glory have fallen over themselves to give respect to their opponents, while Victory coach Ernie Merrick admitted that Perth are their bogey team. Click to continue reading...

HOWDY guys.
FP used to hate Saturday's when he was working at one of the major supermarkets (doesn't matter which one, they as bad as each other).
But now Saturday's are a day for a bit of R and R.
This has nothing to do with Glory, but sharing is caring, right?
Anywho, Glory take on Melbourne Victory tomorrow, and with game-day so close there's quite a bit going on. Click to continue reading...

MORNING all. Perth Glory has another training session/presser combo today, with Glory coach Dave Mitchell up on the media chopping block.
There's a little bit of pressure building with two succesive losess and two tough upcoming games against Melbourne Victory and Wellington Phoenix.
Also there's still some fans who aren't completely satisfied with DM's coaching style. Click to continue reading...

MORNING folks.
Yesterday FP had a chance to check out a bit of Perth Glory's training session and attend the presser. Also made a couple of interesting observations while he was there.
Firstly, while club stalwart Jamie Harnwell is a few weeks away from recovering from his injury, he had a bit of a run and looked pretty comfortable. Click to continue reading...

MORNING all, hopefully this blog finds you well on 'hump-day'.
Just a quick note on yesterday's post on the void of Perth Glory news. Apparently, Monday was a rest and recovery day for the players - which is understandable, considering they have been on a two-week road trip of Queensland.
So yesterday there was a bit of news coming out the Glory camp, but the first official media gathering for this week, will be a presser just before training today. Click to continue reading...

MORNING all.
There seems be a bit of a void of Perth Glory stuff today, especially considering there's usually a presser on a Monday morning.
Not even the Perth Glory website has anything for Monday.
Though in truth, FP is not privy to the Glory's media schedule (yet) and maybe there's something planned for today. Click to continue reading...

IT WAS bound to happen sooner or later. North Queensland Fury, with the wily Robbie Fowler, were always going to get a win at home after weeks of impressive fighting football.
But without taking anything away from the Fury, Perth Glory will feel that they let a golden chance for a win away from home went begging. Click to continue reading...

SO Perth Glory are about a day away from taking on Fowler's Fury. With the jam-packed nature of the league, it's a game they really need to win - just to keep them up there.
FP knows it's very premature, but just to prove a point this is what the first week of the finals would look like if the regular season had already ended. Click to continue reading...
