Can you believe that positive press coming out of even league writers? http://www.smh.com.au/sport/del-piero-effect-is-codes-dream-come-true-20121026-28ath.html
Explains why he looked off pace: http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/a-league/news/1126383/Del-Piero-soldiered-on-with-injury
Love an ugly win. Yau's got a very scattershot game, but I'd much rather see him take it to the byline and cough up than Mallia wander in from the left and tread on Kruno and ADP's feet. -------Reid------Abbas Emerton----ADP------Yau ---------Kruno/Mallia for me.
Well that was shit. At 3:2 I was thinking here we go........ And really Trent? GTFOOH. Players to blame not coach
It's weird, Crook has played back threes with the NYL so he probably didn't instruct Grant and McClenahan to push that far up - so why couldn't he get them to pull deeper?

Crook resigns. This club... sometimes... I can see why he's putting his hand up: we're six games in and getting mauled because we can't play out from the back and when we're in the spotlight like never before that is untenable. He was apparently close to resigning last week, so it's not totally out of the blue. Still, it's a pity. I was really hoping he'd do well as I'm ********ing tired of this club lurching from one frying pan to another. I wonder though, did Ale put in a clause or two about player-coaching...

What I want to know is why were the "fans" getting up him. He was trying to implement a new style of play, we'd never had a proper first XI on the park yet, with injuries everywhere. Yes, we haven't had the results we were wanting, but I was going to give him some time. Shrugs...... What's the money on Vidosic snr next to quit?

I think a lot of the shit was coming from bandwagoners who thought they were watching the Best Team In The League and not a side rebuilding itself. Everyone familiar with the last three years knew this wasn't going to be a walk in the park, but sadly we're not the people the club needs to win over.
No, no, no, no & no to any of these names. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...aching-sydney-fc/story-fndb5nmd-1226516122352

Oh god no. If Gary Cole plumps for this guy, I'm gonna be distraught. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...ts-sydney-fc-job/story-fndb5nmd-1226516896656

Farina is the favourite according to SBS. http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/news/1128891/Farina-looms-as-Sydney-FC’s-first-choice But the most interesting titbit was this one:
So they actually think Cole is a Victorian mole? Here's a cheery stat - number of games it took to concede 20 goals: 2012-13 - 7 games 2011-12 - 14 games 2010-11 - 11 games 2009-10 - 25 games 2008-09 - 15 games 2007-08 - 15 games 2006-07 - 22 games 2005-06 - 14 games nice to beat a personal record...
