To me this has all the hallmarks of a banana skin game.

1) Cluttered schedule - straight after the Wellington game and before an AFC Cup knockout game on Tuesday

2) Sydney are not travelling that badly - with better form than Wellington - and they do have some dangerous players. I'm expecting a win - I'll take 2-0 but would expect the game to be in the balance until near the end.

Weather will curtail what would have been a huge crowd. At least playing conditions will be excellent for both women and men.

Yes Storm would do a decent job there, and without having to vary the role too much from how Faz plays it.

Even when Steele and Smith are fit, I think Storm might still be my preferred pick, unless Jacko wants to groom either of the others as Faz's successor.

My thoughts also. At the same time I'm going into every game confident. It's not just that we're playing well, but that we have managers who know how to plan for an opposition. Would love to win this by a margin, but could also see a banana skin.

Without those first 4 games this season we are the top team without much argument. You need those losses sometimes though, so pretty bloody happy.

Hoping there's not much in the rain, at least come end of the day, and the crowds show up

I have it on good authority that another article talking him up for the Roos will be published today.

Looking like a perfect night for football just need the wind to die down now

Whispers from people who know about these things (namely not me) that we have a very promising LB in our NPL squad.
Harry Menham is allegedly one to watch

I hate it when they change my titles. I didn't say that at all...

The Socceroos are falling out of the top 8 teams in Asia

There may be eight spots for the Asian Confederation at the next World Cup, but the Socceroos are very far from being shoe-ins.

I'll bring a few books tonight for those interested.

I should be in Bay Road from 6.30ish and then Bay 17 (if not raining).
