Friday night footy leads the way.

Adelaide United at home on a Friday night has become a tradition for football fans, and it's usually a great game/occasion. Good crowd, Flores and Leckie to light the flame and the ageing Heart desperate for a performance. Don't miss it.

Perth Glory v Newcastle Jets. Beauty and the Beast, and yes the Glory are the Beast....will the Glory continue to kick teams off the park..shades of Iain Ferguson in his Rangers days. A big test and I expect the Jets to be over-run physically if not through football.

Melbourne Victory simply must score and win at home to everyone's favourite second team the young upstarts from Queensland, the Fury. Robbie Kruse is back so there is hope but Billy Celeski is out leaving Grant Brebner to do what exactly.

The Roar can't lose to Sydney as Sydney have got not one forward. That's what happens when you sell half your team I guess!

And the Central Coast Mariners Coached by Graham Arnold, this week labelled as "your mate Arnie" by Harry Kewell, or "Best Coach in the A-League," by Peter Turnbull the Mariners Director take on Wet Wellys in NZ...so what chance the World Cup Coach Ricky Herbert....with his Wellington team. Can the Mariners win and top the league?

Don't think so but there defence will be tested.
