Miller: FCE isn’t out of the NASL fall-season hunt yet 10 Oct 2013 “If Carolina can go to New York and get a draw, we win our game, then we go down to New York and get a result… there are four games left. There are still points to play for.”
FC Edmonton on the Cosmos visit to Canada: “They are the biggest team in the North American soccer landscape” 29 Aug 2013 Give FC Edmonton credit.

Silverbacks’ Barrera still hasn’t apologized to FCE’s Watson for tooth-jarring challenge 15 Aug 2013 “I don’t think too much about it. Obviously, it was a bad challenge. And he hasn’t apologized to me. Maybe I’ll get an apology on Sunday. Maybe, if I do, then I might lay off of him a bit. If not, we’ll see what happens. Maybe I’ll get Nursie (hard-edged midfielder Chris Nurse) to sort things out.”

FCE will have to confine its search for new strikers to Canada and the U.S. 27 Jun 2013 “We’d like to bring in one or two new faces, possibly players on loan,” said Miller. “We are already have the best defensive record in the league, despite having so many different players back there. The players have been excellent. If we could get the best goal-scoring record, we’d be set.”
Roberts looks to get first FCE senior minutes against the Whitecaps 23 Apr 2013 Roberts vs. the Vancouver Whitecaps front line promises to be one of the more fascinating storylines that will develop out of Wednesday night’s first leg of the Voyageurs' Cup semifinal at Commonwealth.
Feels like 2012 again: FC Edmonton loses to physical Minnesota side 20 Apr 2013 FC Edmonton has a new coach and an almost entirely new starting XI. But Saturday’s 2-0 loss on the Metrodome turf to Minnesota United FC felt a lot like the 2012 season.
