wow 4-0 Newcastle big statement!

They play exciting attacking football and have a good squad, Perth were absolutely toothless last week.
How you can only create half a chance the entire game, I do no know.

FT 2-0 City

Brisbane are dead set dogshit!

 

[AJ_2000]

0 shots on goal for the first half too.

giggler99 you need to update your fixture list. City play again tonight, and Western United are playing the United States not Sydney FC.

10/P+ no live pause, delayed start or even the right teams

 

[giggler99]

Ouch.. this must sting Glory fans!

 

[gaskin]

Useless campaigners but I expect nothing less.

 

[Greenery]

Sooner we sack Zadkovich the better, whats he doing playing our exciting number 10 at left wing back!
Oh lets shirtfront the opposition at every opportunity, great tactics Rubes!

 

[AJ_2000]

Ouch! The CD had very little idea about the follow up

 

[giggler99]

FT 3-1 Sydney FC get the chocolate against Western United
not a good start to the season for the Champions!

 

[Andonis1997]

Undefeated wooo

Watching the game replay now but sounds like the defence isn't exactly firing on all cylinders at the moment

They rode there luck with the outstanding D last season.

So many clean sheets, but Lacroix is having a bit of a mare so far.

The big man was responsible for so much good play last season, but he's super lucky to have not been sent off for the penalty he gave away today

 

[AJ_2000]

Western United with the funnies...



Pretty harsh sledge coming from the s**t side of town.

Yengi features on p4 of the Herald today in an article about racial abuse. Not sure if he copped it over the weekend or the Herald are just keen to remind us of the evils of soccer..

I think his story is part of a broader discussion from the Murdoch media about online trolls when he received racial abuse a couple of seasons back.
Nothing to indicate he was targeted on the weekend.
