English Premier League Gameweek 19

We welcome you to the Christmas Round of the EPL for this year. Boxing Day is often a massive day for English Football fans and this year is no different, with a few derby matches hotting up the EPL this weekend. So without further aideu, lets get into the games! Read more…

A-League Week 20

We enter probably the most disheveled round of the A-League in terms of scheduling, the Christmas round, with teams playing all over the place, and at various times. This week also provides some very interesting clashes, with sides either fighting to keep their season alive, or pushing for a home semi final. So lets get on to the games… Read more…

English Premier League Gameweek 18

Another bumper round in the EPL this week, which kicks off a mad rush of games leading into the New Year.

 

Sunderland vs Bolton

Matt’s Tip – Draw. A big game in the context of European spots, with both teams performing above expectations this year. Sunderland at home will be hard to beat, but Bolton will be confident after a win last start, and should take a point away from the Stadium of Light.

Adrian’s Tip – Sunderland. An interesting match up kicks off Gameweek 18, with these two sides just bellow Spurs on the ladder. That being said, I can just see the home side getting up in this one, but only just.

 

Wigan vs Aston Villa

Matt’s Tip – Aston Villa. Villa got away with a good win at home last week but are stuck at the bottom of a mid-table log jam. They need a win here away from home to push for the top half, and should grab all three points despite the impending return of Wigan goal-scorer Hugo Rodallega.

Adrian’s Tip – Draw. I really can’t split these two- if this was at Villa Park, then it would be a different story, but I’m feeling that Wigan can snatch a draw here and try and edge themselves out of the relegation zone. Read more…

Podcast- Summer Series Episode 5

 

It’s Unreal Madrid week on the show- we talk to Duncan Moore and James McBrien, there’s match highlights of this week’s game, plus a great one-on-one chat with Player/Manager Max Andrew-Kabilafkas, talking futsal, football and moustaches. There’s the Match of the Round for the A-League and EPL, and Oprah somehow makes it back as a Hot Topic. We also call out A Current Affair, over their pinching of our ideas. All of that, plus Part 1 of our Concert Series, as Matt ventured out to one of U2’s Sydney gigs. It’s a feature packed show full of stuff you’ll love- get on it now!

A-League Week 19

And here we are again for another big week in the A-League. After Holger Osieck named the 50-man Asian Cup squad this week, plenty of A-League players will be looking to impress this weekend to secure their spot in the final squad. But on to the games… Read more…

English Premier League Gameweek 17

We kick off our coverage of the EPL with a fantastic round of matches- let’s get stuck in!

Aston Villa v West Bromwich Albion

Matt’s Tip – Draw. Villa have been under performing heavily this year, evidenced by their loss to Liverpool last time out, but at home they should at least scrape a draw against a surprisingly impressive West Brom side.

Adrian’s Tip – Draw. An interesting clash between a side which is pushing for decent spot on a ladder and another which is fighting to stay as far away from the relegation zone as possible. While you’d think WBA would be certains to win this one, I’m feeling the draw.

Everton v Wigan

Matt’s Tip – Everton. Everton are seemingly cruising through this year, yet sit just outside the relegation zone. This should be a big clash at home against fellow relegation stragglers Wigan, and they need to pick up as many points as possible before January when they will lose form midfielder Tim Cahill. Cahill to score and get them home.

Adrian’s Tip – Everton. Very interesting to note Everton’s position on the ladder- I didn’t think they were doing too badly! Having said that, they should win this comfortably, with the form of Cahill at the moment, who would back against them? Read more…

Podcast- Summer Series Episode 4

 

 

This week, Who’s Playing Who? changes forever- quite literally. Listen in to hear the massive switch we’ve taken. Things will never be the same again! Previews of the A-League and EPL are here, but have changed slightly… We talk Tahu, Garth Wood, examine the Ashes, and even Katy Perry gets a run on this great episode!

A-League Week 18

…aaaand welcome to the first of our A-League previews! This week we take a look at Week 18, with our Match of the Round being the 2nd ever Melbourne Derby, as covered in the podcast. These are just our tips… Don’t hate us if we get them wrong!

Adelaide United vs North Queensland Fury

Matt’s Tip – Adelaide. They should be too good at home against a Fury side who struggle away from home, but have been on a good roll of late.

Adrian’s Tip – Adelaide. They might be 7 points behind the Roar, but they’ve got two games in hand. Always good at home, and a strong performance here should put them in good stead for a crack at the #1 spot.

Melbourne Victory vs Melbourne Heart (Podcast Match of the Round)

Matt’s Tip – Victory. The Heart have struggled to score goals in recent weeks, and the mid-week game against Newcastle showed this. An Archie Thompson inspired Victory should get them home in front of a massive derby crowd.

Adrian’s Tip – Victory. A very average performance mid-week from the Heart against a 10-man Newcastle side really doesn’t fill you with much confidence. Couple this with the Victory desperately wanting to get one back on the Heart after they won the first Melbourne Derby, and I’d say your money is safe if you backed the two-time A-League champions.
