Re: AUFC - W season 2020-2021

the top four sides are breathing a sigh of relief Adelaide are not there, I feel it is a chance gone for us if ever there was a time we were going to win the W league would have been this season. Hard and unfair to point the finger at anyone person, cant expect to play finals when you lose 4 games,...

Re: Dylan Holmes Captain of Adelaide United

Sportsbird, you do not understand the world of football or the business of football. Whether you like it or not AUFC is a business, its an investment of the owners, selling a player is what happens. Dylan's move has the chance to open the door for others, hopefully its very successful for her. Paul...

Re: AUFC-W v WSW

This weeks drawn game was more disappointing than last weeks loss. This was an important must win game to at least have any hope of securing a top four spot. WSW had only won one game and sitting near the bottom of the table. I even selected AU to win this match by two goals. As a result it has push...

AUSC-W Vs Melb Victory

A very disappointing result for AU as it was an important game as so far as retaining second spot on the ladder. The other disappointing aspect was the lack of fighting spirit from certain players who have been down in form. Maria Rojas is one player that needs to concentrate on playing a team game ...

I would like to say it was an entertaining game but sadly a game that AU would rather forget. But looking at the line up prior to the game, I was absolutely flabbergasted and confused. People would say it was because of injuries to two players Laura Johns and Charlotte Grant. That is not an excuse b...

Shock and surprise, players that chase money choose to go to the highest paying clubs. Brian the Postman, I don't quite totally agree with your comments.

Re: Alex Chidiac Signs with Melbourne City

Sportsbird, it’s like comparing Liverpool with Leeds United. Some clubs are big and have lots of money to splash around on facilities, coaches and players. Some are small and don’t have the resources. Ask any player born and raised in Leeds who they’d rather play for and there’s no question. You ca...
