WOOHOO....round one is upon us...tell ya what, the FFA REALLY got to do something about that long off season...Ya Think ?
Remember when Harry Kewell was announced as coming to the local comp to play for Victory, the press went bloody birko about how far the local comp had come...WELL...the Kewell response was just about quadrupled when the Smurfs announced Italian legend Alessandro Del Piero was coming to the club, wonder which sydney eastern suburb they gave him?...
fair enough, the press went mad, gosh knows his a legend, but the press (especially the non soccer) press have been going nuts...apparently, Sydney has already won the comp and got a firm hold on the toilet seat, all I can say to that is BOLLOCKS....
Now to our ever friendly neighbours up the freeway from Stade De mariner...excuse me, while I mop up the sarcasm....The newcastle jets have run out and done signed themselves Aston Villa and EPL star (or former star whichever) Emile Willaim Ivanhoe Heskey, Jets manager Gary Van Egmond must be crossing everything that Heskey is still capable of banging a few home.
Now, to the newbies of the comp, Western Sydney Wanderers...and I must say that before they have even kicked a ball in anger, the FFA's pet project have got the average punter from the other NSW (and probably the other states too) based teams friggin annoyed already....they have been handed so many EXTRA concessions its no longer mildly amusing ...extra visa spots, short sponsors that no one else has...just stuff that just aint right or fair.....
ANYWAY....they have been on a bit of a signing binge getting the team ready to go, they got a few of our Mariner youth guys. they got former Mariner and Socceroo, Michael Beauchamp as club captain, one of the Elrich brothers and Japanese star Shinji Ono has signed on with the wobblers...OH and did I mention they have come with a ready made pack of thunderous dick heads, the bloody club is 10 minutes old and they got hoon troubles already...GREAT START NUMB NUTS.
Quick thoughts on Melbourne Victory...as we know they signed Ange Postacoglou to coach the team and bugger me if he hasn't gone through the joint like a dose of salts, HOLY HELL...he cleaned the joint right out, having said that he kept bloody Muscat ..yeh I dunno why either..probably mates or something.
NOW to the only team that really matter's.. the team that doesnt have Serie A legends or EPL heroe's or even talent from the rising sun..the one, the only, THE PREMIERS...The Central Coast Mariners
We only got two foreign players in the club, well, Hutcho reps for Malta, but you know what I mean...Vice Captain, Patrick "Zwannje" Zwaanswijk from Holland and the new fellow from Sheffield United in the U.K, Nick "Monty" Montgomery... Monty was at The Blades for 12 years, debuting in 2000 against Norwich City, spent a smidge of time at Millwall before talking to Arnie and deciding to head to Terrigal for some sunshine and footy....
The club has also got former Socceroo and all round top chap , Mile Sterjovski on the team sheet...liked him in the old NSL..cant see that changing any time soon...Mile will give our young boys up front some solid leadership and maybe a couple of goal scoring lessons as well
And as usual the Mariners are gonna spend the year flying under the radar...which suits us just fine and dandy...and while I wish no ill will to Del Pierro, Ono or Heskey..to be brutally honest, I hope their collective season's are the drizzling shits....OH YEAH...and might I mention before I finish, Mariners Football Manager and generally all around top chap Laurie McKinna is the NEW Mayor of Gosford...great news indeed, But we thought he was the mayor of the place anyway.
O.K have a top season..blog's a plenty to come ..
