V Written By Michael Safro (@safrossydney) Sydney FC will need to get off their cloud. Games are coming thick and fast and Sky Blues will have had no time to celebrate Wednesday’s momentous win against Asian champions Guangzhou Evergrande. In the lead up to their all-important clash with Melbourne City this Saturday night, it has […]
Sky Blue fans will speak of this night for years to come. Sydney FC’s 2-1 defeat of Asian champions Guangzhou Evergrande will rank in the club’s Allianz Stadium pantheon alongside Steve Corica’s Grand final winner in 2006, John Aloisi’s 2010 wonderstrike and Sydney’s emotion-charged, ten-man defeat of Melbourne Victory in late 2013. With multi-million dollar […]
Wednesday night marks the return of Champions League football to the SFS. Champions Guangzhou Evergrande bring with them Asia’s most expensive squad and a sold out away end. With the current squad decimated with injuries and shit form, the boys need our support more than ever. Don your colours, bring your friends and family, get […]
If Sydney FC were unlucky to come away from the Sydney Derby with only a point last week, they were most fortunate to gain one against a rampant Melbourne Victory. Saturday night’s hard-earnt draw was made possible by a terrific piece of rearguard action by the Sky Blues at AAMI Park. Sydney FC definitely have […]
V Sydney FC faithful will have woken to the news that the Sky Blues are front runners to snare the much-prized signature of Socceroo winger Tommy Oar. The deal would be a shot in the arm for the beleaguered club and its supporters. The thought of Tommy Oar making a run down the left before […]
This one is down to the coach. A litany of tactical and selection errors hamstrung the Sky Blues, rendering them impotent for a large part of its Asian Champions League opener – a contest that, in hindsight, was winnable against an opponent that was out of season and, for all its midfield superiority, hardly impressed […]
What a great game of football. The 1-1 draw suits the Wanderers more than it does Sydney FC but, at times, one should simply stand back and admire the spectacle. This was one such occasion and the Sydney Derby produced a pulsating game of football. The “F” word – flares – made no appearance at […]
Sydney FC’s player of the round last weekend did not turn out in Sky Blue. Blake Powell, a talented footballer and a terrific bloke to boot, never quite got the opportunity he deserved in his two year senior stint with Sydney FC. He certainly made up for it with his four-goal demolition of the Western […]
With eight A-League matches left to play and seven points separating the now-6th placed Sydney FC from the top of the table, Sky Blue fans should all but dismiss their side’s chances lifting the Premiers’ Plate this season. As things stand, the Sydneysiders have a battle on their hands to simply qualify for the finals […]
By Saturday night, it will be almost a month since the Sky Blues last won a game. The stat is hardly an impressive one, reminiscent of Frank Farina’s inconsistent Sydney FC of 2013/14. Ideally, Sydney needed to be in the Top 3 of the A-League competition as they embark on the most gruelling part of […]
