Shit, piss and double bollocks: another injury

The Goon Blog - an Arsenal blog. 17 November @ 12:53 PM EST

Desperate times call for desperate measures it seems; van Persie is going to have placenta rubbed on his ankle by a Serbian witch doctor in a bid to recover from injury just that little bit quicker if you didn't already know, he is out for 6 weeks with a bollocksed ligament. Maybe its the baby particles in the placenta that invade his ankle and make everything hunky-dory again.

W-League visits Shepparton - why regional games are a great idea

Girls with Game 10 November @ 01:49 AM EST
So in last week's preview I added in a few sentences about just how excellent an idea it was to move a W-League game to Shepparton, citing the 'Canberra effect'. Which is, there isn't much else happening there over summer so why not move women's games to areas where they don't have to compete with men's for attention? Click to continue reading...

Westfield W-League Round 7 news

Girls with Game 09 November @ 07:51 PM EST
So I flagged it months ago on here and it seems like Katie Gill is finally back in the country and set to play for Perth Glory this weekend. Well according to the FFA snapshot they sent out yesterday, which suggests she will be a prime candidate to score the leagues 200th goal when it goes off this weekend. Click to continue reading...

AFC under-16 girls game 1 - Australia bt China 4-0 in Thailand

Girls with Game 05 November @ 03:53 PM EST
So very late last night in China, well 10.30pm Australian time, Australia kicked off its campaign to qualify for the under-17 FIFA Women's World Cup in Trinidad and Tobago. And they kicked it off in some sort of style with an impressive 4-0 win over China.
Newcastle Jets striker Tara Andrews claimed all four goals in the win, scoring in the 18th, 58th, 63rd and then 87th minute. Click to continue reading...

SuperClasico Ground Zero (It Ain't The Home Depot Center)

The Offside Rules 31 October @ 12:50 PM EST
Everybody know someone who cohabitates with someone who supports a different sports team than them. For instance my brother-in-law is a die-hard Giants fan while his son bleeds Jets green; even though they rarely play each other, the trash talking can get definitely get heated (in a good way).

Brisbane 1 v Newcastle 1: It's a place without a postcard, and I'm never going there...

A seat at the A-League 30 October @ 07:54 AM EST
At 86:35 minutes Orangecrush leaned over to me and said 'Do you think the players realise that this is the most important 3 minutes of the club's history and they have to score?' I agreed with his sentiment and said 'And they aren't going to score.'
The low crowd didn't help. This was a dull game. Click to continue reading...

Westfield W-League Round 3 wrap

Girls with Game 18 October @ 08:15 PM EST
So there was a little bit of history repeating itself thanks to a late Canberra United comeback in Perth to draw 2-2 with the Glory, but apart from that it seems the Westfield W-League results fell into a little bit more predictable fashion in Round 3. Are the cream starting to separate from the crop? Click to continue reading...

girlswithgame profile - meet Perth Glory Matilda Collette McCallum

Girls with Game 13 October @ 06:52 PM EST
The 23-year-old just had the wildest ride of her soccer career to help claim the inaugural Women's Professional League title in American with Sky Blues FC, and now she's back in Australia trying to get Perth Glory into its first W-League finals campaign. The Scottish born midfielder has a killer kick from set pieces, hence the corner she took last week against the Newcastle Jets that ended up going in for the matchwinner.

Westfield W-League Round 2 preview

Girls with Game 08 October @ 04:40 AM EST
So lots of goals and lots of upsets in Round 1, will everything be a little bit more settled in Round 2 or will the rollercoaster continue? In a league where points are at a premium, every game counts even more than usual. Here's what I think will happen in Round 2, although after last week, I wouldn't bet on it!

We don't expect you to be entirely or even vaguely familiar with Mr. Adam Griffiths, an Australian midfielder who now plays for the Saudi Arabian club, Al-Shabab.

However unfamiliar you may be though, we are quite sure this next bit of information will be of interest: he has a twin brother.

Jets game, Mitch's post-game words, Burns' 'headbutt' and Fowler

Home - Football Perth Blog - Perth Glory News 26 September @ 10:11 PM EST
IT'S all a bit confusing. On one hand Perth Glory, after two successive away wins, are on top of the ladder - something which has probably never happen in the four years of the A-League. On the other hand the manner which those victories came were unpleasant.
No wonder some Glory fans are happy, while some are still discontented. Click to continue reading...

Losing Their Griff

The Footbal Tragic 26 September @ 03:30 AM EST
For the second successive week, the Newcastle Jets have been beaten by the odd goal in a game which they ostensibly dominated. For this viewer, there were echoes of an Olympic v. Parramatta game I watched in late 2000, with Branko Culina in charge of the former club: Olympic played all the attractive football, with Nick Carle and Greg Owens to the fore, but were undone by two typical striker's goals from the Power's experienced Scotsman Joe Miller.

SO Perth Glory have won two in a row on the road. Wow. The most amazing thing about it wasn't the fact that it was away from ME Bank Stadium, it was the fact that both wins were quite ... lucky to say the least. Click to continue reading...

Glory v Newcastle Jets preview and a little more

Home - Football Perth Blog - Perth Glory News 24 September @ 09:35 PM EST
SO it's game-day. Perth Glory versus Newcastle Jets. Mano e mano. Hyped-up short sentences. Most of the pundits were surprised with Perth's win over Brisbane last week. Could they do it again?
The Glory have spent the week over east, which means they got front-row seats to Apocalypse 2009 (Love it how some people can find the silver lining to this), which has slightly hampered the team's preparations for the game. Click to continue reading...

Little things killing football, travel holiday for Glory, Velaphi and Burns

Home - Football Perth Blog - Perth Glory News 21 September @ 11:17 PM EST
PERTH Glory have a pretty quick turnaround of five days until Friday's match against Newcastle Jets.
But before we get into it, FP just wants to rant about something (don't worry he'll make his point quickly).
Football in this country is not suffering because of the big things. We have pretty decent players, a pretty good supporter base (though they are a bit afraid of the rain) and the competition, especially this year, is extremely tight. Click to continue reading...

Confessions of a Football Fanatic

SoccerLens 04 September @ 06:22 AM EST

Walking into my room on a chilly Sunday morning, I sighed heavily, yet I was happy. I had correctly tipped Burnley to beat United. Who knew. I didn't get it all right; I had a few problems especially my A-League tipping. Mariners and Jets drew, so I only had 2 points from this round. Forgetting about that, I walked over to my desk, before clomping down on to my seat.

Things getting a move on in the nation's capital

Girls with Game 27 August @ 06:21 PM EST
The W-League's only independent club - freely going on its own without an A-League partner and also doing a pretty damn good job at it - announced another player and coach signing yesterday.
As mentioned here as a possible, Emily van Egmond has followed her former Socceroo dad to the ACT and will play for Canberra United this season. Click to continue reading...

IS the weather starting to reflect the feeling among the Perth Glory faithful? It's only two games into the season and the general fan is starting to feel like this has happened all before.
Some of the fans are already sharpening their axes and pitchforks and the fan pressure is slowly building on the Football Hooligan - Dave Mitchell - to get a win. Click to continue reading...

Bill Simmons Is Now Officially One of Us

The Offside Rules 17 August @ 01:36 PM EST
We got one. Finally. It's not Jim Rome but that's never going to happen so why even entertain the thought (and really when you think about it would we every really want him?). ESPN's Bill Simmons is a fantastic writer/sports nut and even though he has written about European and World Cup soccer before, by his own admission has been a soccer hater from time-to-time.

Round 2: Sydney shine?

Sydney had a tough test against a fit, tactically sound Adelaide United. Click to continue reading...
