Fully expecting 4-1 to Victory. It would be 4-0 but Villa will get his usual 1 goal per game to keep CFG happy.

TTIM: All of the Facebook comments saying "It took Victory 10 years to get 20k, we got 10k in 4 months!" Alright listen here you little fucker, roughly 6-8k of those 10k have been around gor 5 years, not just bandwagoning now that we have a cow on our logo, so it's not "just 4 months"! It's 5 years of building a solid fanbase around a shitty team and staying loyal to it so don't trivialise the time and money spent by others over the years to make it look like Melbourne City grew from nothing in a few months.

Funny isn't it how even with everything changing we really are still a tinpot club. We already knew we were bottom of the CFG pecking order but this really isn't good enough.

Awks

"For founding the club that would go on to become Melbourne City" hate that line.

Well it felt good to be back at a Heart game again at least! Redmayne - Thought he actually had a pretty good game today, made some really good saves, but probably could have done more with the goal. Hoffman - Same old Hoffman really. Too much backward passing and got beaten a few times. Didn't think he was too horrible though. Weilaert and Kisnorbo - too much fucking around at the back and really poor long balls. Ramsay - Not his worst game for us, but still not a fullback. Paartalu - Had another really good game, shelters the defence so well, needs to be used in attacking moves more as he is a good passer. Murdocca - A lot of hate on Murdocca on here so far, and while I don't think he deserved man of the match, I thought he played fairly well. Decent option to have as a backup to Koren. Mooy - Absolute boss. Man of the match easily. His passing and tackling is just amazing. Duff - Pure class. Man of the match but for Mooy. Insane workrate, crazy passing, pace for days and ripped into Ramsay for not shutting down his man at one point. What more could you want? Williams - Didn't think he was too bad today. Definitely preffered him starting to Mate. Looked lively and exciting, just lacking a bit of match fitness. Villa - Must be embarrassed by his teammates at times. Created his goal from nothing. Missed a couple of chances but it's David Villa so it's forgiven. His biggest impact today wasn't on the pitch but in the stands. 15k is the Villa effect. Brown - Still quite confused by this signing. Didn't do much when he came on except for shoiting straight at the keeper. Dugandzic - Not even close to the player he once was. Everytime the ball is at his feet it's a turnover. Not good enough. Retre - Wasn't on for long enough to make a huge difference, but good to see him get game time. Off the pitch - Crowd was massive, lets hope they stay when Villa leaves. For their first A League game I thought Melburnians did a great job, got caught up in chanting about Victory for too long after they showed Muscat on the screen though imo. New kits looked mint, first I heard about the matchday programme was on twitter when I got home. JVS isn't the man to take this club forward. Today was a huge letdown, but fuck it was good to be back at AAMI Park!

FUAAAARK SO KEEN FOR SUNDAY! God damn I've missed this pre-game excitement all week! And I will most likely be making my pre-game debut at the Imperial so everybody shout me a beer cheers lads really appreciate it

Archibald looked wrecked by the 75th minute. Couldn't even run at the end.

In! Also question for anyone in the know as I'm not great with liquor laws. As an 18+ year old, am I able to bring my 17 year old brother to the Imp for the pre-game if he does not drink any alcohol?

In all seriousness though, when we were standing in the southern end of AAMI Park watching us play our first ever game as Melbourne Heart back in the day, did anyone ever think that we'd be seeing David Villa coming off the bench for us? Absolutely amazing day in the history of this club.

John Aloisi analysing our team is a joke. He couldn't even analyse our team when he was the fucking manager...

Germano walking around next to Villa on Fox Sports. Obviously translator is his entire role this season.

At least Smeltz isn't playing so he can't score his usual two goals against us.

All our excitement gets pulled down into a pit of negativity and despair pretty much straight away. Feels just like Heart

And then use the tears as lube to masturbate with. At least that's what I'd do.

Less than 24 hours left of the longest and most fucked up offseason in the history of the world. LETS FUCKING DO THIS!

https://twitter.com/MelbourneCity/status/519616410092204032 (I'm on my phone so I can't just post the photo). Notice the Heart logo is photoshopped out of her hat? I just found it interesting that they would do that if they want to reassure people that it is still the same club. (I have no strong opinion either way so I'm not trying to start another pointless argument on here)

for those that actually wanted So Happy Together.....you guys are sure as hell not proud to have it on so much lol Actually we want it turned down slightly so that you can hear the crowd singing it.

Same as every other year, the upper level is only opened if the bottom level sells out.

I like so happy together. Seriously though stop talking about You'll Never Walk Alone. For fucks sake we aren't Liverpool and we aren't Celtic. Most people seem to like SHT and until that changes it should stay. Seriously is there anything that we can keep from last season?

Bought FIFA 15 this morning. Playing as Melbourne City instead of Melbourne Heart is taking some getting used to. But having David Villa up front is pretty fucking awesome. The guy is unstoppable in the A League. Let's hope it's the same in real life! It's still so crazy seeing him in the game in a Melbourne City jersey and remembering that he's actually going to play for us!

Winning the final on penalties! Woooopa!!!

Also quite annoyed that Victory ended up playing teams like Bayswater and Tuggerong and we got Sydney FC...

Simon Hill clearly not a fan of the old piro party is he?

Wouldn't be suprised if JVS tried to convert him to a left back.
