Bruce to sign on for another 2 seasons!

Im quite happy with this signing. Although bruce isnt a prolific goal scorer for us he provides a lot to the team. Something that was evident on Sunday when he was taken off.

Happy with this

Happy with all our signings/extensions in the last month

Cassio
Jeronimo
Fereira
Bruce

Hard to argue with any of that

Carrusca and Dario already contracted for next season and I'm guessing/hoping Malik is

Great signs for us moving forwards and it really IS staring to feel like Adelaide United again

Yep we need the stability in our side especially if we don't quite make it this year (though I hope we do)!

Who in our best 14 is still coming out of contract? Malik? Is that it?

Malik re-signed earlier this year

Excellent (tents fingers)

That is practically our entire midfield and attack which is starting to fire at least signed for another season or in some cases more

Me likey

So the 14 that were in the squad last weekend:
Eugene - Yes
Cassio - Yes
Fyfe - No
Boogs - Yes
Watson - No
Malik - Yes
Carrusca - Yes
Vidosic - Yes
Kostopolous - No
Bruce - Yes
Ferreira - Yes

Jeronimo - Yes
Ramsay - No
Barbiero - No
Izzo - Yes

Looking pretty good. A few of those don't seem too concerning in terms of them defecting. Having success and having such key players to what we're doing re-signing will hopefully help get the others across the line.

Something that shocked me, Fozz actually talked a tiny bit about our tactics :o

Wow first time for everything though. Still much more animated when talking about the heart and Central coast

What's McKains injury status like...rather him then Mr Penalty or Red Card Boogard...

You know the tune so feel free to sing along ...

All I want for Christmas are a pair of centre backs, a pair of centre backs, a pair of centre backs ...:-({|=


Just sayin'

This is what it means to be an adelaide united supporter sadly, extreme highs extreme lows

Well, at least this won't have a huge impact on our already average crowds.

:-({|=

Damm straight

In the first few minutes I guessed United were going to lose.
Second to the ball virtually every pass a lazy give aways, and what was with Hugene? - He looked injured, and with him not doing his usual heroics our defence showed how poor it really is. Shit Boogard never got close enough to earn a red, give away a penalty or score an own goal
We need a decent RB now! But even though we've needed one for one for a few seasons now, NOTHING has been done!

One thing for sure CCM will NEVER lose by that much, and Ange wants a RB for his mob too, so it'll be a bidding war, if we go into the market - which I've got a feeling we won't do.

Oh well glad there are other things in my life besides football.

Despite the result it was a great experience to watch the game at Parramatta and I thoroughly recommend this as an away game you must do in NSW.

Stayed at the Novatel which was only 8 minutes from the stadium.

Despite the result I will look to return again to this venue.

Good analysis here of the game against WSW.

There's also a good report on the Adelaide V Melbourne game.

has been my experience for almost 10 years now....I just wish the highs included a Championship:D

So we played better could of won good to see a crowd back lets hope they don't have the mentality of we come they loose stuff that. Should beat Sydney pretty easy 2-0 big crowd about 14 thousand again bring on the came COYR

Great game against sydney, sydney look shocking amateur it is a shame

on another note came online today and saw a Anthony golec has accepted your friend request on Facebook lol just 5 months after i sent it seems like an ok guy. Anyone else have him added or any other players ?

Our game against SFC was so enjoyable I am tempted to watch it again rather than do anything else tonight.

May have got home last night and watched the game. Such a great game. I hope we can maintain these 10k+ crowds and get that average back last night was fantastic.

Not having ADP there was a good thing IMO, that crowd was the people willing to see AUFC play despite ADP not playing. That bears well for the rest of the season I think - of course playing so many games away over January isn't going to help matters.

I was horrified to realise we have 1 home game through january.... if we get through that still in the top two, I will be quite confident for the remainder.

however if it goes down to the last game for ladder positions/premiership, perth away scares me...

Be happy people the second half of 2012 was a good year for the club lets hope it gets even better in 2013.

Yes it was a good game because we treated it like a training run, instead of going for the Jugular.

Sydney was at its weakest all year with so many injured it was largely a youth team, and Sydney NYL are second bottom.
Bit disappointed we didn't score 4-5 more goals,
Victory, CCM or WSW would of and they're the teams we have to be better than.

We did hit the woodwork 4 times though.

Yeah, I credit their keeper for this, as his save off Kostopolous must have instilled a " a few more centimetres outside the keepers reach " mentality.
I'm sure McBreen would of just hit it harder.

Being glib here as our strikers only had a split second to react and they were just unlucky. I'm sure that in Bulldog''s eyes they had an eternity to choose and should have used their laces to give it some violence.:d
