Easily the most shocking news this week was the claim that Harry Kewell might have ‘autoimmune hepatitis’. This might even be a long-standing condition dating back to before he joined Leeds United. Elsewhere we’re disappointed to hear that the David Beckham show won’t be coming to Queensland as promised and the FFA pushes back the start date of the A-League finals. However the FFA did announce they are releasing a special two match pass to Australia's next two home World Cup qualifiers in Sydney.

We also unveil what you voted as the top A-League moment and Aussie football gets another boost as Fox Sports' Asian Champions League ratings go through the roof.
