Game, set and match
What a match! The stage was set. A brilliant sun set over Melbourne Park. Two hours of breathtaking skill. Of brilliant sportsmanship. The energy and pace on show belied the heat. But it was completely one-sided. With some great lobs, some excellent shots and some fantastic movement. It was an aggressive display that punished mistakes. Andy Murray just didn’t see it coming.

The Dog & Duck
The Ancelottery couldn’t work out how Victory managed to register a 3-0 win midweek despite playing so poorly. And then we saw this…And it all made sense. They were playing against a Sunday pub side. There was little joy to be had from beating North Queensland Fury on Wednesday night. In fact it was a bit like kicking a malformed puppy. Allsopp notched again and Mate bagged a brace....

An open letter to Craig Foster...
Dear Craig,
You’re an idiot.
Love,
The Ancelottery.

Smashed!
It was less a Big Blue and more a little cyan. Or miniature teal. Last year’s Sydney-Melbourne derbies actually meant something. This season’s offerings are about as important as the Asian Cup. The only thing at stake this time around was sixth place, which gives you a measure of both teams’ achievements in this campaign.
A depleted Melbourne side, for the most part, battled...

The latest team to take up this offer are Adelaide United. Fresh off the back of five losses in their last seven games, the Reds demolished Ernie Merrick’s men at AAMI Park on Sunday afternoon.

Impostors!
The Ancelottery can’t decide what was worse… having to witness the most inept Victory ‘performance’ in living memory, or having to listen to the pair of Kiwi idiots commentating on Fox Sports.
Petkovic aside, every member of the Melbourne side should feel guilty picking up their wage packet after that showing. We were so bad that we even made Nicky ‘Vidal...

Small town near Woy Woy...
Happy New Year! And a special Happy New Year goes to Matthew Ryan. Thank you Matthew, thank you.
On a stinking hot New Year’s Eve in Gosford, the Mariners managed to somehow fumble defeat from the jaws of victory. Matthew Ryan’s horrible goalkeeping blunder meant that Melbourne returned from a small town near Woy Woy three points to the good.
A strong following of Victory...
