It’s a pre-season friendly, and you can’t really read too much into these games, but the quality of the opponent I think should fill us with some optimism. It was a very good performance, especially for this stage of pre-season, and taking into account that we played Malaysia’s No. 1 side with 10 men for […]

As I took the Grab to the stadium for this game (didn’t drive because I knew there would definitely be drinks after), I have to be honest – my thoughts weren’t about how exciting this Champions League game was. It wasn’t about how our Sailors could potentially win and achieve a 9-point finish which would

It’s been 3 days since we won the Singapore Cup, but the sense of euphoria is still very much alive. I know we still have a game to go, but I think the fact that we’re already knocked out of the AFC Champions League means that this Singapore Cup final really felt like our last

We’re using this picture for the second time because – well, it was much easier than expected. Tampines have proven very very tough opponents for us in the past few seasons, but this, this was a walk in Bishan Park.

Again, this is gonna be a short one – I just flew into Bangkok a few hours earlier and I really should be sleeping to prepare for a full day of activity tomorrow. But here are some of my quick thoughts! High Stakes I hate to be dramatic, but this is really do-or-die for the

This is gonna be a short one because, we qualified. End of the day, that’s all that matters. Secondly, we have got much bigger fish to fry – as mentioned in the preview, qualification was almost a certainty anyway, so the match against Hougang was about giving players minutes, making sure noone got injured and
The trip to Korea lit a fire under the arses of the members of the Crew. I think seeing first hand how the Mad Green Boys (the Jeonbuk ultras) created a great atmosphere in the Jeonju World Cup Stadium fuelled a desire within us to try our best to make Jalan Besar Stadium a fortress

At the end of the day, the K-League is the K-League. The Singapore Premier League is the Singapore Premier League. I dared to dream the impossible dream and that dream did not materialise. But was flying all the way to Seoul, and then taking a 4h ride to Jeonju to lose 3-0 a waste of

It is not often that we can say a team that picked up 3 yellow card and 2 red cards were not punished adequately, but this is a view that I hope to be able to defend in this post-match thoughts article. While the Sailors picked up an expected win, and have one foot in
