Our girls in Sky- Blue have done it again! In what was undoubtedly one of the toughest seasons to date for SFC, with all the injuries, squad changes and other trials and tribulations, our girls were crowned champions again with a 1-0 win over City. The dynasty continues. Our men thrashed the Bulls in their elimination final with a few banging goals that got the crowd well and truly off their seats. Some padawans were in the hosting chair this week with Michelle, Nic and Jamie discussing all things SFC. Listen in to hear an awesome interview with Championship winner and all-round legend Tori Tumeth.
An emphatic win with the men banging in 7 goals against lowly Perth. Our sky-blue women book themselves a grand final against bitter rivals City and are looking to be back to back Champions. A HUGE weekend ahead for the club! Michell and Sean dissect last weekend's worth of games and discuss the elimination and grand final. So, whether you get down to Melbourne or over to Moore Park, cheer loudly and proudly to help both teams get the win!
As the Sydney girls put in a performance even Rooster Cogburn would be proud of, the boys suffered some post derby blues and lost to 9 men in Sydney's South-West. Michelle 'Laila Ali' Morris & Jono 'sniffles' Finger take you through the Sky Blue Week that was
Outrageous. Sensational. Triumphant. A rollercoaster ride of emotions took place last Saturday evening for the third and final derby of the season. The fellas were immense and did us proud. This week's ep sees the return of Jamie 'All Sides of the Harbour' (ASOTH) Dunkin, with Michelle and Sean taking on hosting responsibilities. We dissect the derby and look ahead to the fellas' 2nd to last round and the girls taking on CCM in their first of two games semi-final.
Two red cards, one draw in the west and a tough loss up in Newy. Ooft. It was not a good week for all us sky-blue supporters and lovers. Putting that behind us and looking forward to the third and final derby of the season with 3 games to go in the season. A big game for a variety of reasons. A must win. Michelle, Jono and Sean go around the grounds, reflect on the past week and optimistically look ahead to this weekend's game.
Our women's team, although gallant in defeat, misses out on etching themselves in the history books, while our men deliver a stellar performance with a couple of sumptuous goals against the Mariners. Tune in for insights into our impressive youth team against European academy heavyweights and a very perplexing "Who's that Sydney FC player?"
The Phoenix rose in the men's game, coming from a goal down to nab all three points but our Sky Blue women belted four past in their game with Cortnee scoring a brilliant brace to claim victory and leave the Nix women wallowing in ashes. Looking ahead, our men will be keen to get back to winning ways, and our women are sitting atop the ALW table with finals in sight. Thankfully Michelle has retained her superfan status solving this week's "Whose that SFC player?".
Brilliant. Exciting. United. Relentless. Super Sydney FC. Just some ways to describe a Saturday night that will live long in our memories due to wins from both our Men's and Women's teams over the scourge of the West. We love a 6 point weekend! Capo Fantastic, Winston Getry, also joined us for a wonderful chat about all things Sky-Blue and active support. We're very fortunate to have such an energetic and passionate Capo and one that equally appreciates the active support of The Cove- the best active support of the league.
Don't adjust your dials...don't be alarmed...this week we have a youthful and exotic flavour to the podcast. With Jules busy rising up the coaching ranks, Sean with one-week calf injury and international duties for Jono, Michelle and Nic have undertaken the hosting duties this week in a very admirable fashion. A massive weekend of fixtures ahead as there's double derby delight with our men's and women's teams taking on the scummy westies whilst our NPL fellas tackle St George on the back of their first win last week against Manly.
Near apocalyptic weather wiped out any chance of the women's game finishing in Canberra while four hours away at Allianz, the men's game saw a solid win over Adelaide.  Are we seeing a new dawn, a new centreback pairing, a Gowser/Wilko 2.0 in the making? Jake Girdwood-Reich and Hayden Matthews are looking the goods and playing beyond their young, tender years. Listen in as Nic and Sean take you around the grounds, review the weekend's fixtures and preview this weekend's games. And...Nic impresses at "Who's at SFC player?".
Lowes bought Hawaiian shirts, pool noodles and even an inflatable doll affectionately named Jasmine made their way to Gosford to witness our boys in blue claim victory in a resounding win against the Mariners. But alas, our girls in blue, despite their dominance could find the back of the net against City in a game ending in a 0-0 stalemate. Jimmy van Weeren joined Jono and Sean for an insightful chat about the SFC academy and namely the SFC NPL team as the NSW NPL season begins this weekend. Listen in for an interview with SFC NPC coach, Jimmy van Weeren.
Caspers and Vine combine to lift our sky-blue girls to a resounding win against Perth. Cortnee bagging a brilliant brace and Maddie scoring a sublime goal so effortlessly. However, our men squandered a two-nil lead in Hobart against Western. The OG's Jono and Sean with our own star girl, Michelle, dissect the recent SFC happenings with reviews, previews and looking ahead to wearing our Hawaiian best this Saturday evening in Gosford.
A couple of refereeing howlers marred the two Big Blues leaving the SFC collective with only 2 points when it could have been much more. Despite the two monumental stuff ups, the SFC playing collective outplayed their opposition and can hold their heads high. Jono, Sean and Michelle go around the grounds, review the Aussie Day games and look ahead to the fellas playing Western United in Hobart and the girls playing Perth at Leichhardt. Did you guess this week's "Who's that SFC player?"?
Our sky-blue men kicked off the weekend's fixtures with a resounding 4-0 win over the Jets. Maxy dazzled us with his titty shimmy bagging a double whilst Woody and Lolley got in on the scoring action too. Our sky-blue women however, snatched victory with a piece of 90+ minute magic thanks to youngster Zara Kruger. And it would be remiss of us not to mention the brilliant Maddie Caspers too! Michelle and Sean take you around the grounds, review this and preview that ahead of the Aussie Day Big Blue.
Our sky-blue girls headed to Gosford for the first time in close to two decades, where they walked away with another draw, and our sky-blue men won their third game in a row—a first since 2021. Michelle, Jono and Sean dissect the weekend's games, look ahead to United round and go around the grounds. "Super fan" Michelle is left bamboozled with "Who's this Sydney FC player?" after Sean stumps another two weeks in a row. 
A double header Friday proved fruitful for our men and women in sky-blue bagging 3 points each. Whether it was Grant scoring the opener, Lolley playing like a bat out of hell, the Hawk returning or Jynaya bagging the winner. It was pretty, pretty, pretty good. The OG's Jono, Sean and Jules go around the grounds, review and preview and Jono is stumped with "Who is that SFC player?".
A quieter week than usual in SFC Land this past week. The women had a decent result away to top of the table Perth, though coulda shoulda walked away with the win as they were easily the better team. Our men slumped to another loss, another big blue defeat, with Fornaroli up to his usual tricks in front of goal. Nic, Michelle and Sean dissect last weekend's game and look ahead to this weekend's fixtures against Western and Brisbane- confident of a 6 point weekend.
Michelle and Jono sum up the last couple of weeks in Sydney FC land as we talk Sydney Storms, Uffyball, Ante's genius and super over-used "you can't keep 'em all" chat rears it's ugly head. Michelle also puts Mackenzie Hawksby out to pasture. 
The evening couldn't have started better with one of the best tifo's the Cove has produced. To see it beautifully cascade down the stands from the Paddington end of the ground gave those in the stands goosebumps and only added to the theatre, the drama and atmosphere. Unfortunately, the result didn't reflect the tifo and we lost to our bitter cross town rivals. Our SFC women were gallant in defeat with a late comeback with new addition to the team, Jordan Thompson, getting on the score sheet. Michelle, Jono and Sean take you around the grounds, dissect the weekend's games and look ahead to another Saturday night at Allianz this weekend against Glory.
We're back after a one-week soft tissue injury to recount the start of the Talay era and our girls' time in Uzbekistan. Both teams have shat on their respective Adelaide United opponents in their most recent games, with a combined score of 8-2. We dissect the first of this season's derbies and Michelle struggles but eventually comes good with her "Who's that Sydney FC player?" albeit with a bit of assistance.
