Belated Christmas from me and time for an update. I am feeling quite smug at the moment and i am revelling in it while it lasts. sydney is currently sitting in 4th spot and if they perform like they did on saturday again against Adelaide hopefully we can hang in there.
I am not entirley sure what is going on with my team, one minute we are playing against LA Galaxy and thrashing them, the next we have Perth Glory flogging us...what is going on? not to mention home crowds are at an all time low and we are barley making a crowd of 10,000.
i thought the Galaxy game was suppose to bring more awareness to us...but then again, the media only really flashed Beckham's 1...count them 1 goal and then quicklysaidwescored5goalsandone BUT ZOMG BECKHAM SCORED 1 GOAL! bah i don't know who to blame but it dosen't help when our strikers arn't doing their jobs.
new coach has done wonders but he can't play the game for the team, he is only there as a guide, to give direction. i think i will scream if we keep Zdrilic on next season, the man is useless! i am also quite sad we will be losing milligan who is superb in the back and giving us strength as well as losing the zad who may be...pretty yet somewhat useless however for now he is providing a link between midfield and defence and just giving a bit of movement and space to our game
in closing we still need to pull our heads in, and congratulations to Baby Biddle for scoring his first goal, i think he is the cutest, but please, stop taking hair advice from the zad..the bleach is...no.

I admire the FFA for having the balls to put in a salary cap for the A-league and i understand that they are just trying to do what they think is best for the game but it is hurting our league. It needs to go, and soon.
The FFA are trying to make sure that none of their shiny new toys go into debt and have to fold. Yeah that is fantastic but how can a team exist on less than $2 mil? I mean they can, sure. But it isn't pretty. It is Perth, who look like fish out of water every time they step foot on the pitch. It is Melbourne, who lost their best player because the couldn't afford to pay him what he wanted (and what he deserved really). And it is Queensland, who know it wont be long before somebody, who can offer more than we ever could, comes knocking on their door for Michael Zullo. It isn't good enough.
Now i love football. I love this sport and i love spending all weekend watching all the A-League games but sometimes it is painful. I want to see beautiful football. That is why i fell in love with this sport and that is why i continue watching it. And at the moment i am just not getting what i need. If the clubs were able to pay for better player would the quality of the league improve? Absolutely. You only get what you pay for.
If the salary cap is gotten rid of then what then? Maybe one club will end up winning the league 5 years in a row because they have the most money available? Well if they do then good for them. As a fan i am more concerned about the quality of the players and the league than who comes away with silverware. I do not want to be in pain every time i turn on my tv. I want to see quality. Quality players and a quality league. We will never have the best league in the world and it would be ridiculous to think that we could but we can do better than this.
There are different ways to deal with clubs going bankrupt. Implement a new set of rules FFA, because this just isn't working.
