Sydney FC captain Alex Brosque has revealed the inner conflict that comes with being the captain of the Smurfs, having grown up in South West Sydney. The Uruguayan-Australian said he was devastated when most of his own family stopped supporting the Sky Blues and began backing the Western Sydney Wanderers FC. “It is difficult. Sometimes I feel like a Serbian in Zagreb to be honest with you. Even when I try to fly under the radar and grab a chorizo from Greenway Plaza I get abused. When I hear the latinos in the Red and Black Bloc playing the drums while the Cove sings ‘Knick, knack, paddy whack, give a dog a bone…’ I start to question what the **** I’m doing with myself."

Hahaha. At least you've figured out that you ARE seen like a Serbian in Zagreb. Good for you.

Remember what you said prior to the derby? "We go out there, and I’ve told the boys previously in games, we hate every single one of them.”  That's how you approach the derby: like a good sport. Flying under the radar looks different. And then, when you are subbed on at ANZ, you have 40k greeting you with boos.

Yes, what are you doing with yourself?

Hope Brosque rots there would burn up my membership card if he ever set foot in our club 

Can't be derby week, no bullshite from Arnie yet in the media.

You think the fact that it's on FTA for the first time has affected ticket sales? Quite a bit under compared to last year.

I think it's more the cost for the away fans. ESFC want as much from us as possible.

I think maybe the fact that we have a bad record there might also be a factor.

The loss Saturday night won't matter since we're gunner beat them in the FFA and Season grand finals. You would think with FC and Adelaide on the horizon the club would have done something smart like get us a coach. 

Foundation powerchair player Peter Dalrymple passed away yesterday. Hopefully the club (and SFC) organise something on the weekend to pay respect to him and his family at this difficult time 

I'm still SEETHING that they managed to worm their way out of playing their FFA cup game this week.

Four "Wanderers Bronze" seats for the derby cost me $131.50

Five seats for Socceroos vs Honduras (Level 3, above the Socceroos Active area) cost $77.90

From the 'A-League in Simpsons Form' fb page:

With reportedly only 5000 tickets still available for the Derby as of yesterday afternoon, let's hope it is a 7th straight sellout. That would be great given that it is live on Fox Sports and Ten's One.

Will also be interesting to see how the ratings on Ch Ten are, given that they also screen the Bledisloe Cup live on their main channel at the same time.

Irrespective, ours is clearly the biggest and best derby in the country - way ahead of the Melb one.

It would be hard to remember a more important week (trio) of games in our history, with the Derby, the mid-week FFA Cup semi and then classic away trip to Newcastle in an eight day sequence. May well define our season, though each game needs to be focussed on in isolation. If you cannot motivate yourself to perform on these occasions, you should find another sport to play!

Absolutely going, it's a derby for crying out loud, winning on their patch as well...priceless!
