820 – Rinse & Repeat
As the title states; rise and repeat. A strong start and flailing finish, a popular birthday boy and a big clash for the W-League team. This is around the bloc.
819 – Cox Seals JP’s First Win
JP took charge of his first match as head coach for a very long time and it proved to be a success with the Wanderers winning 3:1 away to the Central Coast Mariners with new signing Simon Richard Cox scoring on debut. Turner and Nick took the drive up and saw the boys take the […]
818 – A Chat With Chris Phillips (Southend Echo)
Chris Phillips -chief sports reporter for the Southend Echo and ‘I’ve Got Blues For You’ podcast – joins Turner and Nick in a chat about Simon Cox, the situation that led him to Western Sydney, what Simon offers with his football, what he will bring to the pitch and gives us an insight into the […]
817 – The Fall of Babbel(on)
The inevitable came through on Monday morning after a frustrating and performance void of any spark or optimism. Markus Babbel’s run as Wanderers manager is over after a near year and a half and it hasn’t been the best. Turner, Josh and Nick are joined by the man-in-demand Stephen to discuss Babbel’s dismissal, what went […]
816 – German Exports and Irish Imports
Nick is here with a solo pod giving you the rundown of what has happened in the last 24 hours (not even) in the world of Wanderers. Alex Meier seems to be gone and Simon Cox seems to be due in from Swindon Town as we look to make a move on in the league […]
815 – Managerial Debate
For those that have been with us all season know that we’ve been critical of players and manager at times but this one seems to be the real go to for that conversation. A recap of the W-League loss, the Y-League win, the loss in windy Wellington and of course the Babbel in or Babbel […]
814 – New Year, Same Us
Happy new year to everyone (except Robbie Fowler, so says Michael Turner). We have two men’s matches to cover plus the Wanderwomen kicking a** in the W-League with another win. More controversy – more segways – more of us. This is around the bloc 2020.
813 – Derby Thrashing & Babbel Bashing
No, we’re not going to rag on Markus, quite the contrary. However some in the football world in the A-League have been bashing him figuratively over the last few weeks. The Wanderwomen thrash Sydney FC by five (Sydney is red and black after all thus far), and sit close on the ladder to leaders City […]
