Free or Fee?, that is the question.

Our very first transfer saga. YAY! Hartlepool's 1 year extension now means Joel Porter is under contract for 1 more year. He can no longer leave under a free transfer unless the club release him. The problem is apparently the guy has sold his house and made it clear...

Never say never

With his injury record I don't think it is likely that they will meet these terms but we can only wait and...

Well the new look OleOle.com site has brought me out of my shell to express my news and views about NZ's best (and only) professional football team. Firstly a little about myself.

Wellington Phoenix 2-2 Melbourne Victory - official A-League report. So Melbourne led 2-0 and blew it this afternoon and were ultimately lucky not to lose the game.
