Nice new layout, and good results. Not much you can do about the loss to Brisbane Roar though, good luck next month.

good luck in the Asian Champions League mate, unlucky on losing the final last season to

This was a great bounce back from an average start. We conceded just one goal and cemented our spot at second.


HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE’S ZLATAN! Well, the second best Zlatan. Zlatan Muslimovic was plagued by injury and international call ups for the start of the season but he had a debut to remember with a brace over in Wellington. A good way to get my season back on track.


Not a bad start Zlatan. 2 games, 4 goals, 2 POTM. But seriously though, he is phenomenal! Heskey is on the bench now!


Defensively, this was a good outing. But I fear this may have ramifications come the end of the season. As FM puts it, a ‘bore draw’.


Another goalless draw, but this time it was the heroics in goal by Nathan Coe that saved it.
Rushed forward to deflect a long shot, dived low to save a header. I’m hoping to actually score next week!


We returned to our winning ways with 2 quick goals after half time. Captain Ben Kantarovski returned after Australia U21 duty and duly won man of the match.


The Mariners are sweeping everyone in their path, although we have them next so I’m hoping we can knock them off their perch. The Roar are chasing but those 2 are my only concern, we seem to be in a league of our own.


Join me next time for the December review!

Looking good in second place! Keep it going.

Wow, really glad I started reading this, really unlucky in the first season, hopefully you don't stay in the same 2nd place for the current season

Going strong In the league mate! Keep it up

Another average month. 2 good wins, but disappointing results in between.



We have our revenge! The soaring Mariners came to Hunter Stadium and we showed them who was boss with a steely 1-0 victory. Now we just need to keep beating them to have any chance of winning the premiership.


Really disappointed with this one. Not only were we played off the park, Emile Heskey was injured and is now out for 3-4 months. Sooooooo frustrating!


Another very frustrating match showed we can’t hold onto leads very well. We had a goal
controversially chalked off, but I’d rather not live in the past.



A good end to the year with another big win over the lowly Phoenix. Brilliante’s goal was a real scorcher whilst James Brown returned to last seasons form.


The win over the Mariners meant we had a good chance to catch them, but threw it away. We need to start winning a lot more to have any chance of finishing top.


Next time will be the start of 2014, as we play 3rd placed Brisbane Roar on New Years Day. Join me then!

Frustrating results but I'm sure you can find one last push for 1st place in there!

A good month away from home but with one huge scar. But you can read about that below.


This was hands down the most disappointing match so far for me in charge. We were annihilated by a well drilled, star studded Brisbane Roar team and some changes are now needed.


We bounced back with a win across the country in Perth thanks to a late goal by sub Chris Coyne. Brilliante scared me as we went to 10 men with just a minute to go. Luckily we survived, although Brilliante got a 2 week wages fine and a 4 match ban for his second red card.


This was our chance to play well back at home for once and we blew it, picking up just 1 point against midtable Western Sydney.


A good win to keep us on track. My bright faced 16 year old regen Jamie Carbone had an amazing brace and became the youngest ever A-League goalscorer.


A bit disappointed in this one, although they were in incredible form and to be honest, we were lucky to even score. Now Victory, Roar and the Mariners all look formidable.


Central Coast always seem to be just out of reach. In the last 9 games, we need to collect as many points as possible.



I said goodbye to my dear winger-striker Vinicius, as £150K was too good to turn down. I will miss your freakish goals, bud.

February begins with a top of the table clash against the Mariners! Tune in for full coverage

Just read through this now, and I have to say it's very good! :-).

Good month mate! Keep it up!

A another fairly good month- but fairly good wasn’t good enough. The title race is all but over now unfortunately .


In Group E, we were drawn with Chinese superstars Guangzhou , Japanese team Okayama FC and Thai outfit Bangkok Glass .


I was pretty happy with the result, but I keep going on about the ‘ifs’. IF we didn’t concede straightaway, IF we scored again. No more ifs.

Third is still finals, which is good, hopefully you can push on and overtake Roar though!

Zlatan happened! Haha!

Just had a proper read through and love this mate. Keep it up!
