Flying Kiwis – August 29
The work has begun. Only a few days after being announced as a signing, Woody was making his debut for Burnley. A few days later he was on the board.

This latest Footy Ferns squad was a hugely anticipated one. Probably the most exciting press release the team’s had in a long while (sure beats learning that the captain’s prematurely retired for non-football reasons…).
Three different scorers combining for 16 goals, netted at four different clubs. Thanks to Woody’s recent move to Burnley those numbers are about to blow out big time so let’s celebrate the humble beginnings while we still can...
He might not have been the main focus lately among kiwi footy folks but Winston Reid had himself one rollercoaster of a week, that’s for sure.
Yup, The Woodsman is returning to the big time. It’s a crazy set of circumstances but Leeds United are gonna have to find themselves a new target man because Burnley have put up the cash.
The plan is simple: Two games against the Solomon Islands, one home and one away. Win them on aggregate and advance to the intercontinental playoff with South America.
As far as season openers go, Old Trafford isn’t the best place to get things underway. Winston was fit, Winston was back in action but his Hammers came up against a rampant Jose Mourinho team
Key players, best signings, big questions and the ol' sack-o-meter. The Wildcard casts his dubious eye over the twenty teams trying to cash in on the latest English Premier League season.
It’s been an offseason of change in Leeds. Ah but one thing never changes: Chris Wood ALWAYS scores goals.
The FFA Cup is stupid, we didn’t wanna win it anyway. What’s the point in licensed franchise clubs playing against club amateurs? What’s the point in that when the Nix only ever get away draws at other A-League clubs?
It doesn’t look like a controversial squad. Winston’s back, Woody’s there... but hold it against the lads who went to the Confederations Cup and there are a few peculiar changes that’ve been made.
Okay, something’s definitely going on here. In the space of about six weeks or so we’ve seen Myer Bevan, Michael Boxall, Stefan Marinovic and Bill Tuiloma all sign with Major League Soccer clubs in America...
