  1. Personally I thought Nabbout was M.O.M for the tards, showed some nice trickery and was able to dribble past Jose Enrique a few times and he's no slouch.

     

    Connor Pain was good, but he just reminds me of why FIFA 13 online is so broken, so much pace abuse

  2. Can't recall one Heart reference from JA tonight on 7 mate for the Liverpool game. Saw plenty of opportunities where he could have snuck a sneaky Heart reference in...but alas. Bridges mentioned the Jets several times. Opportunity missed I guess

    Noticed this too, if tonight's game attracted any potential new fans then I can almost guarantee the majority of them will go to the Visitors.

     

    Wish we'd do a bit more to try and attract new fans tbh

  3. Pfft fuck these 'friendly' games. All they do is bring out the euro casuals. Worry about doing well in the a-league season and the rewards will come

    It's amazing how many football fans there really are, but the sad truth is that the majority think they're too good to go to A-League games.

     

    95,000 is amazing but yeah, bring on the proper season.

    Thinking I might go to the game in Shep, does anybody think we'll field a strong-ish side?

    I think I saw a tweet from the club or Munn saying that all the new guys should be playing. Talk about HK too, but I'm more expecting him to come on in the 2nd half. Might be surprised though.

     

    Wouldn't mind seeing Wielaert, Murdocca and Ramsay play 90, Kewell will probably play a half.

  5. Why hasn't MacDonald been able to reproduce his Celtic form in the Championship then?

     

    Its because he had Nakamura putting it on a plate for him to finish from 6 yards at Celtic.

     

    MacDonald is a poacher.  Raul is a poacher.  Lineker was a poacher.  

     

    Without a quality play maker they are less than half the players.

     

    We could have kept Tadic if we had an Ono, or an ADP to create chances.

     

    Who is our quality play maker?

    Kewell, probably.

  6. I've always liked Scott McDonald, regardless of his international record I reckon he's our best striker.

     

    Absolutely tore up the SPL a few years ago and he was never really given the truest opportunity to prove himself in the national team (most of his appearances came either as a sub or as a sole striker).

     

    Would be the perfect Australian marquee as Red or Dead said and would score 10-15 a season.

  7. I've been a "country and regional" person my whole life and 95% of the people here couldn't tell you who Lionel Messi, Pele or Maradona are. Let alone Holt or ADP. We really do know jack shit. Sokkah is for pussies and faggots etc.

    Fuck. Even half the people involved in the club I play for have this mentality and play matches like it's AFL, using AFL speak like kicking goals, forward line and the goalie marking the ball. Then chat about the footy afterwards.

    County Victorian football has a long way to go.

    This.

     

    I'm in Wodonga so it's probably about 60% AFL, 30% Soccer, 10% whatever else but yeah, it's rare to find someone who knows a lot about world football in general, let alone the A-League.

    My girlfriend thought that Melbourne Heart and Manchester City (my Premier League team) were both in the same league, I just shook my head.

    Did anyone see Scott Chipperfield's posts on Twitter?

    Slandered the quality of the A-League based on one fucking friendly, all respect lost for him. What a twat, nothing worse than Eurosnobs.

    Fark I use to love him too :( ah well, just like Cahill I've lost all my respect for him

     

    If you don't want to play in the A-League, fair enough. Guys like Chipperfield, Schwarzer and Viduka have probably done enough in their international careers and don't really owe Australia anything.

     

    But what do you seriously gain from being a pompous ass and pissing all over Australia's league and in turn, demeaning Australia's true football fans.

    Unless Ang decides to dog us, he should get a run

    Only there because Ang is scared of him and wants to get a good look, and under Wilo's skin. Same old visitors, always cheating.

     

    Must be why Boogard's playing

    Hoffman gets paid more than him

    The ultimate insult

     

    Why? Hoff has put in the hard yards. Harry still has it all to prove.

     

     

    Played in 2 World Cups, Premier League, arguably one of our best ever players v's can score against underage rep teams

     

    Ahahaha, so true
