For a easier visual explanation of the comp NPL related seeding rules...

det or morphine? TBH I am going through phases of I hate it and I like it. I think it's hard considering how right we got the away kit last season (best kit we ever played in IMO) Ultimately we will hardly play in it anyway, and it is unlikely I will see it live except at Sydney away in April so I have just now decided I don't really care.

You've chosen wisely, us City fans are all wonderful, kind-hearted, well-adjusted positive contributors to the society of Melbourne, and the other mob's supporters are a bunch of incestuous, dog-fucking, no-hoper, ugly, toothless shitcunts. So welcome aboard the City bandwagon! Here's a few things you'll need to know to help you get started on the right foot: 1) Don't let the evil oil overlords of the City Football Group fool you, the colours of this club are red and white, not sky blue. Any expression of positivity towards sky blue on this forum will lead to you being called "brainwashed" or a sheep or a Melchester City supporter. Never, ever say that you think our home kit is nicer than our away kit. Talk only about having no training ground and having our players do their recovery sessions in wheelie bins and finishing second last. This era is what we call "The Glory Days". 2) Our wonderful Dutch manager John van't Schip, who you may recognise from his playing days as a member of Ajax and the Dutch national team, is awful. He is a man who despite his best efforts, cannot be sacked by the club. He was our first ever manager when the club was founded in 2008, and then a couple of years later he decided that he wanted to leave the club to return home for family reasons. "Family reasons" meant moving to Mexico to manage a club over there very poorly. Whilst he was gone he left former player and Australian football legend John Aloisi in charge. Aloisi decided that he didn't want to win a game ever, so he didn't. When he was eventually let go, our lord and savior JVS returned to lead us to glory (this has not yet happened despite having some of the best players in the history of the league). 3) Tim Cahill is the only person you will ever hear about in the news for the next few months. This is because he is the Australian equivalent of Pele. He is worshipped by the masses due to the fact his forhead is a ball magnet. Expect slightly longer than average lines for beer at AAMI Park for his first few games before it slowly returns to short lines as the crowds leave when they realise that we're shite. 4) Bruno Fornaroli is now your god. Worship him. 5) You may only live on a diet consisting of warm flat mid-strength beer from the stadium bar and sausages from the sausage stand. The sausage stand is the Melbourne City fans sacred place. 6) Try to avoid the Club Room section of the forum unless you enjoy discussing libertarian politics, the evils of each religion, and gambling. 7) We hate every other team in the A-League. There are reasons for our hatred of each individual club. ADELAIDE: - They are a pissant team from a pissant city. - They take all of our shit players that we don't want anymore and turn them into league champions somehow. - Stefan Mauk is the worst person alive. Worse than all of ISIS and Hitler combined. BRISBANE: - John Aloisi is their coach. We hate him. (See point 2) CENTRAL COAST: -They're shit. - Like really really shit. - They have a brass band at their home games? - Their kits are actually recycled from a 4/20 Legalise It rally. MELBOURNE VICTORY: - They're our arch rivals for no reason other than the fact they are based in the same city and wear a different shade of blue and white. Our derbies are a great spectacle, but this isn't exactly Celtic vs Rangers. - Besart Berisha and Kevin Muscat are cunts. NEWCASTLE JETS: - No matter how badly they've been playing, they always seem to beat us. PERTH GLORY: - Perth is full of bogans and wankers. - Every time we go to Perth we lose. Every single time. SYDNEY FC: - Our owners hate them because they stopped us from wearing a full sky blue kit. - We hate them because the Football Federation of Australia is incredibly biased towards Sydney and Sydney FC is their favourite club. WELLINGTON PHOENIX: - They're from New Zealand so they fuck sheep. Our relationship with New Zealanders is the same as the rest of Britain's relationship with Wales. - Their supporters are actually really nice so we don't hate them that much. WESTERN SYDNEY WANDERERS: - Imagine every single Green Street Hooligans wannabe ultra you have ever seen and you will be able to imagine the WSW fanbase. - They were established several years after us and have established a much larger fan base and achieved massive success which is kind of a kick in the guts to us. So there you have it! You are now a fully fledged Melbourne City supporter! Prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of mediocrity and disappointment coupled with the occasional joy of Bruno Fornaroli being way too good for this league. Good to have you on board my friend!

Don't get ahead of yourself. It is only speculation that he works in construction.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Need to take it seriously and sign a CB by then if we're any chance of keeping a clean sheet

off to Ballarat we go lads

They used Wellington at AAMI Park as a tester last season to see if it's viable to hold FFA Cup games there. I imagine they would have decided yes.

Flags you wave when the benchwarmers are doing their warm ups.

Precisely! This no segregation between fans nonsense needs to stop. Football is at its best when you get to direct puerile abuse towards a concentrated group of lower class citizens.

Mrs G and are are buying active this season as it's the only place in the stadium where you are protected from having visitors bogan supporters occupying the adjacent seats

Let's face it, some people are never going to be satisfied until the club is called Melbourne Heart and has a home kit of r&w stripes and an away kit with a sash - in which we hardly ever won a match. And there's as much chance of either of those as there is of reversing the efflux of time and me being young again. In the meantime I suggest you get prepared for a succession of future H&A kits that will vary between the barely acceptable and the appalling. Until people stop buying what they don't like.

Anything presented in Slide Form with Clickbait around it in my mind seems real legit.

I've read some bad secret agent article but this one takes the cake as the worst. The grammar is appauling and the "rumour" is about as 1+1 as you can get

With any luck this will go a long way to getting rid of them for the most part

Also speaks to my love of heroin and ketamine

I think my mate is!

Are you the greek construction worker?

We'll need to pull our finger out for this game otherwise we'll lose by 3+goals easy.

well last years quarter final against Wellington was at aami so surely they'll do the same here. Plus with Cahill we could probably get a decent crowd. Should make it free for all members, and that way it gives an incentive for those who haven't signed up yet to get a membership and come to this game. No doubt Wanderers will bring a few fans down as well.

Lets just sign Horses by Darryl Braithwaite anyway because its an absolute track

So fucking dull

couldn't make it to half time for the WSW vs Edgeworth game, sooooooooo boring.

Surely im not the only one that finds the beer shower when we score one of everyday lifes happiest moments?

Empty seats because active is full of flogs.

“We know the Club wants to go places,” he said. “We’re looking to bring in quality signings and I feel this season we’ve done that. Keeping Bruno as well, it’s a massive coup for the Club with his record-breaking season.” - See more at: http://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/article/kilkenny-we-want-to-go-places/mfq1duk8prja1gywnkgc53hl0#sthash.V7QtpjK3.rqILpUmo.dpuf Read more at http://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/article/kilkenny-we-want-to-go-places/mfq1duk8prja1gywnkgc53hl0#5EZRjCjdevHPuArW.99 Kilkenny seems to be confirming further signings

Sort of disappointing to see there are still many seats left in our active bays. The areas of seats behind the bays in "City Blue" are full (almost, sort of), presumably to soak up the atmosphere as opposed to being on the GA side of AAMI. Shame to see the Active zones not having great appeal, then again, who doesn't love a good beer shower followed by the home shirt being stained by a stray tomato sauce soaked chip from the kid behind when we score.

Who will be the Cinderella Story club this year??? The club who get put into the Pot Marked "Specifically Created for A Cinderella Story Pot".

"Colours of the club that would become Melbourne City"

Somebody's gonna get fired for that...

Welcome! I'm a Kiwi who worked half a mile from Ibrox for several years in the early 2000s. Glad you found us. ;-) You just got away with that, bro......

He still had several very good well paid offers to play in China... maybe a bit less than ours but def still lucrative. Nobody who follows Soccer thinks he is some Saint who has come back to "Save Football in Australia" rather they know that in first place Soccer in Australia has been on the rise for years now and that money is the reason he is coming back. The only PPL who might think he is doing a good deed would be those who are not Soccer Fans who are exactly who MHFC and MCFC have needed at their games for years... if they had come a few years back then MHFC would still exist. And like I referred to before with the NT, even if he is coming for Money it is a fact that Tim Cahill is not going to walk out onto a pitch and not give it his all no matter who he is playing for...

@greenseater possibly the funniest and most accurate summary of our club i've ever seen

Good evening sports fans! First of I'm a Scottish lad over here in Australia doing a spot of travelling. I arrived here with my missus last October and spent a decent chunk of the last year picking Avos for you Aussies just so I could enjoy a 2nd year down under. Melbourne is by far the best city over here and might even rival my own home town Edinburgh ;). The worst part about being over here is missing the football back home. Staying up until the wee hours just to watch your team on a questionable WIFI connection with Nokia 3310 quality pictures just isn't the same as being there in person, really. So with another 12 months in the bank and your "soccer" season starting in just over a month that I've decided to pick a team to follow for the year. Guess who? It's a very simple choice really, City obviously used to be The Heart and my team back home happens to be Heart of Midlothian FC. Tie in the fact that your former captain Paddy Kisnorbo used to wear the famous Maroon and there was absolutely "nae chance" I was going to follow the other mob. I'm buzzing for the new season to start and provided I find a job in the coming weeks I'll be getting my season ticket in amongst the "Active Section". Mon the City.

Sigh...we now have the worst home and away kit in the league

-Deleted Image-

Perhaps something simple next time, if it stays

not according to my extensive research: listening to the song a thousand times watched the movie i refer you to these independent and rigorously researched sources in order to clear up your confusion.

We're better off wishing for this cunt's death than his contract termination. The former is infinitely more likely

decided on this for my card

"Tara, get out of there safely please" lol even Garby who spends most of his time in the UK is aware of how big a shithole Sunshine is

Looks like I Will be there for the November match. Moving to Adelaide for work/Mrs kicked me out up until Xmas. I already got shit sorted fir those of you that way inclined wink wink
