It’s a been a tough season for sky-blue fans but there’s a lot to look forward to for 22/23. A massive episode this week and we mean massive: 12 players depart, Corica re-signs, new contracts and rumours galore! We dissect and discuss it all! We also catch up on how our NPL boys are doing, representative honours and our end of season report card. Michael Zullo, a club legend and fan favourite, joins us for a fascinating and insightful interview.
Season: 2021-22
Almost there…
The ACL is in our rearview mirror (thank goodness!) as we look ahead to the Big Blue and a very intriguing off season…the rumour mill is already providing kindling to what may or may not happen in the coming months leading into next season. Jules and Sean discuss our ACL wash-up and dissect this pulsating rumour mill and twitter gossip about the team. We wax lyrical about our young SFC NPL boys spanking Sydney United for SIX with Jaiden Kurcharski putting on a masterclass. Hope to see you all at the Big Blue- our last home game of the season and our final farewell to Kogarah.
Pho sure wasn’t a good ACL start
A below par start for our sky-blue men in Vietnam with the start of our ACL campaign. Massive 6 points up for grabs with back to back games against Yokohama F.Marinos and simply we’re all eager to inflict more pain on Muscat. The young NPL fellas suffer their first defeat of the season too but put up a good fight nonetheless. Jules, Jono and Sean pod in the flesh at our old stomping grounds of the Bella Vista Hotel. How’s the sound quality!?
Highest highs to the lowest of lows
A very dejected Sky Blue Stories this week. On one hand, in the space of a week our A-League men go from losing 0-4 to winning 5-0 to losing 3-2 at the death in calamitous fashion. On the other hand, our young and triumphant Sky-Blue fellas win their top of the table clash sending them to the top of the NSW NPL table. Jono and Sean dissect our upcoming Asian Champions League campaign in Vietnam and have a lengthy discussion about all things SFC thanks to all of the questions that were sent in.
100 episodes! And derby delight!
100 not out. We’ve hit the milestone of a century of episodes and what better way to celebrate it than with a tremendous derby win over the scum. The NPL sky-blue fellas go from strength to strength or should I say from Wood to Wood with a win keeping them undefeated this season. Of course, all the usual around the grounds, reviews and previews. Thank you to all who have supported us along the way. It’s greatly appreciated! XO
Suffering a case of the (sky) blues
Heartbroken. Devastated. Inconsolable. Just some of the words to sum up how we’re feeling from Sunday’s women’s grand final loss. Football is a cruel beast. Nonetheless, it was still a successful season with a lot to be proud of and smile back on. The men tasted defeat against a very depleted Jets team but the young sky-blue fellas remain undefeated! A tonne of around the grounds with Remy headed overseas, national team call-ups and our remaining men’s fixtures including all the usual previews and reviews.
Magic Milos we Narsingh for!
A brilliant win over Western United makes us go back-to-back. We love three points and a clean sheet, not to mention Amini and Luciano bag their first goals for the club. We wax lyrical about Talbot’s recent form too. A big grand-final preview for our sky-blue girls ahead of Sunday’s blockbuster, big blue game against Victory. All the usual previews, review and around the grounds. If you can, please donate to Ninko’s support of families in Ukraine https://ukraine.unicef.org.au/milos.
Patrick Yazbek!
A victorious Sky-blue week all round with the men winning in Perth, the young NPL boys going two from two with a win over Marconi and we’ve just got our breaths back from the pulsating semi-final win over City by our sky-blue women! The midfield maestro, Patrick Yazbek, joined us for a terrific chat about his brilliant form and season so far as well as us discussing all the around the grounds, reviews and previews.
A dire derby but Premier’s Plate Pandemonium!
Apologies for the alliteration. A very disappointing derby loss at the hands of our cross-town rivals, however our sky-blue girls…they came, they saw, they conquered! Congratulations all involved (players, coaches, staff) for our girls winning the A-League Women’s Premier’s Plate. We are so incredibly proud of you. Jono’s calf is playing up again so Jules and Sean tackle all things SFC: the Sydney Cup, Corica, and all the reviews and previews.
Mid Season Report Card
Our sky-blue girls have one hand on the premier’s plate but our men suffer defeat at the hands of Western United and City. The boys give their best teacher impersonation, with our A-League sky-blue mens A to F mid season report card grading. And come to think of it we should have done it for the girls too…but let’s face it, they’d all get A++ anyways. Plus, all the usual around the grounds, review and previews to sit back and enjoy.
