Victory in Melbourne 

You may or may not have noticed a lack of activity on this site of late. Part of this is down to the inordinately long off-season that the A-League is currently experiencing, part of it is down to not wanting to wade into the constant debate that is the Harry Kewell on and off again transfer, and part of this is down to pursuing some other football writing projects.

With this in mind I thought I would share two of the other projects I have been working on. First up, is something I started back in January (although had been wanting to do it since last year’s World Cup) called vivalarojamierda, quite possibly the only English-language blog solely dedicated to Chilean football. It’s one of the most mad-cap leagues you will ever come across and if you are after something a little different when it comes to football take some time to have a look.

The second project, which I only started recently and originally began life as a group email to a bunch of work friends, is Your Weekly Football History Lesson, a tumblr blog where I take a look at different football player each week. I have to admit I’m pretty excited by what tumblr has to offer and have had literally hundreds of ideas of football related mini-blogs, so stay tuned for any new developments on that front.

However rest assured this site won’t go untouched, especially with the new A-League season fast approaching and with myself resuming my semi-regular contributions to Australian FourFourTwo that my interest in writing about Melbourne Victory has not waned in the slightest.

You will notice at the bottom of the sidebar underneath the “You can also find me at” category you will notice a new section called “Twitter” which I will be using to make comments remotely whilst I am watching the Melbourne Victory in action or doing anything in relation to the team.

After months in the making the new look Victory In Melbourne site is now up and running. You may have also noticed that the location has also changed. For those people who kindly link to this site it will be necessary to update you link for the new address even though at the moment any links to the old site will redirect you to this new one, but in time the old site will be deleted.

One new feature that is worth checking out is the new photo page which showcases photos of everything to do with Melbourne Victory from people who contribute to the Victory In Melbourne Flickr Group.

Finally, I must thank my lovely girlfriend Caroline who helped me put together this new site and of course let us know what you think of it.
