    Edgeworth v Jets will be fun. Glory getting stripped of players - Keogh and Lowry gone, Spiranovic likely to leave too.

  • Glory be to the Popa and to his son: A-League & W-League season 2019-20

    The fixture list is finally out for the A-League season, so no better time to get an A-League thread up & running.

    It all kicks off on Friday 11 October as Adelaide Utd host champions Sydney FC, and the following day there's a Melbourne derby as Victory host City. Western Sydney's new ground hosts its first A-League match when Central Coast Mariners come visiting and the newbies, Western Utd, face a tricky game at Wellington Phoenix. Round 1 concludes with Premier winners Perth Glory hosting Robbie Fowler's Brisbane Roar (RFBR™).

    I'll try and do a preview closer to kick off, but last night was the conclusion of the FFA Cup Round of 32. A-League clubs entered at this stage, but we're already waving goodbye to the following heavyweights:
    • Sydney FC, who lost 2-0 at home to Brisbane Roar
    • Melbourne Victory, who lost 3-2 at home to Newcastle Jets
    • Perth Glory, who lost 2-1 at home to Western Sydney Wanderers
    • Wellington Phoenix - the shock of the round, losing on penalties to Brisbane Strikers
    So the draw for the next round is:

    Brisbane Roar v Central Coast Mariners
    Moreland Zebras v Magpies Crusaders
    Adelaide Olympic v Hume City
    Brisbane Strikers v Manly United

    Marconi Stallions v Melbourne City
    Olympic FC v Adelaide United
    Edgeworth v Newcastle Jets
    Sydney United 58 v Western Sydney Wanderers

    Games to be played in a couple of weeks. Just the one all A-League clash but would be fantastic to see a non A-League club lift the trophy.
