We lost earlier today, pal. Oops, just reading the thread now.

Pleased as punch with that result, 100% win record for Heart for me so far, keep it up.

I know you are trying to take the piss, and this won't temper that but for the record he said "to manage a big team like Manchester tonight" it's his accent that make it sound like United. Anyway matters not, what is more important is David Moyes apologising to the ManU fans in the press today, I can't figure out why, he's been waiting 21 years for Everton to win at the swamp and finish above ManU in the league, maybe both of his wishes will come true this season, he's half way there!

Excellent result, points far more important than attendance.

Too right, Last 8 of the FA Cup.

I don't get this 'man city' fans 'demand' we change. Man city have bought us for footballing reasons and they want to grow and have a development program etc etc. Not because they want an australian manchester for there fans to go on their holidays !!! Some go, I won't support them !! Why do they think they need to ?? They have a team called Manchester City. We have a team called Melbourne Heart. We can scratch each others backs without having to give each other bj's !! Sounds like a load of shit stirring to me, reckon you are spot on, I've never followed a team in red and white and imagine the majority of Heart fans haven't ever followed one in blue and may never do so. Personally I'm proud to be associated with the City of Melbourne now and to have a A League team to follow. Man City always comes first but as so many Heart fans have a second team I don't see any difference. I'll be pleased with the name change to Melbourne City and will just get used to red and white.

Congrats to Heart and the old Yarra, by my maths you red and white fans are far more numerous, post per footy fan forum wise than I expected. More than UK forums pro rata.

Another away scalp last night. Those that aren't antagonised or fear City should tune in sometime, it is the best football played i have ever seen by any English club in a long, long time. Keep it up City.

Thanks, interesting reading. One thing that jumped out at me was how football has crept up on Australian rules football in the popularity stakes. When I was in Australia it definitely wasn't as popular as it is now but we are talking the best part of 2 decades. I'd be interested to know if Heart fans ever think football will overtake Aussie rules in the popularity stakes and how far behind it still is.

It's City actually.

Have to acknowledge this. As HEARTinator stated it's about Australian root football first and foremost but everybody can learn a thing or two from this lot.

Go on then, blue nose is more a Brum term than City's in my experience, it's actually yours, but we have started using it in certain quarters. Arsenal cup win was so important and I know, I have a blue nose mate, as for Villa, shit on the windows, shit on the doors, shit all over..... Then again Villa fans haven't wronged me so as Birmingham is Englands third City, it's a tie. City fans know what's it like being on their Todd.

Australian football needs Australian roots and talent and that is a guarantee with your new owners. As for history, it's created, granted, but change is guaranteed, every dog and all that. History just depends on how old you are, or when you came around. As for other British clubs getting involved investing in Australian football, I'd welcome it.

Oh Adam Johnson, he played in blue and white Oh Adam Johnson, he makes your full back look shite (thought he'd win that game for you but was mistaken, as were you, go on, admit it? We'll see but looking forward to it. Pablo Zabaletta he is the ....ing man

I'm so much more looking forward to this Wembley final atmosphere than otherwise. Should be a top day, any team can defy the bookies and It's not as if you've not noticed is it?
