From Darren the Robot's rollercoaster week to the A-League's 'Good, Bad, and Ugly,' no stone is left unturned. The team also breaks down the Glory's recent form, including the men's 3-0 demolition of Central Coast and the women's team finding their winning groove. Plus, they gaze into the crystal ball to predict which Glory stars will be staying or going as contract talks heat up. It's a packed show with plenty of laughs, serious football chat, and perhaps a questionable prediction or two. Are you not entertained?Key Topics Good: Glory Women & Men both securing wins, Darren the robot's redemption arc (complete with kit number), and the general vibe around Perth Glory. Bad: INEOS's handling of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim's sacking, and the ongoing mess at Central Coast Mariners.
