What's with Foxtel refusing to call it AAMI Park and going with Melbourne Rectangular Stadium?

Complete bullshit.

JVS looks like a fucking deer in the headlights

Alarm bells are deafening

After watching last night, has to be Kilkenny for mine.

Think you'll find Austin signed with Victory dude..

Has just been released. Cheers for the service but expected as much tbh.

A-League: Melbourne City to make run for Tim Cahill Ray Gatt. Cashed up Melbourne City are believed to be ready to pull off one of the biggest coups in A-League history by attempting to lure Socceroos legend Tim Cahill as their key marquee for next season. The Australian understands City, who are owned by the Abu Dhabi-based City Football Group, are determined to take the next step to put the club in the forefront of the game by signing Cahill, the man regarded as the country’s greatest soccer player of all time. Some sources have suggested talks have already started. It is understood Cahill is regarded as a priority for City, who have struggled for crowds and a footing in the competitive sporting market in the Melbourne. Having to compete in the shadow of the longer established and highly professional Melbourne Victory has also had a serious ­effect. Cahill, who will captain Australia in a friendly against Greece at Etihad Stadium tonight, is viewed as a possible game-changer for the club. He would not only be a massive marketing force, attracting fans and media attention, but would also considerably lift commercial interest. Money is no object for CFG, who own English Premier League club Manchester City and the MLS outfit New York City. City’s owners would likely have to fork out between $2 million and $3m to secure the Australian star, whose six-month contract at Chinese Super League club Hangzhou Greentown is due to expire. City, however, might still have a fight on their hands to get the 36-year-old, who is in peak fitness and retains his enormous zest to continue playing for club and country. There are reports Cahill, who is the Socceroos’ leading scorer with 47 goals in 90 games, is being chased by a number of Chinese clubs, including one of the richest and biggest in the country, Shanghai SIPG. “Things are heating up now the transfer market is moving again,” his agent Ante Alilovic said last month. “I am very confident Cahill will be staying in China next season, though with which club, we don’t know yet. But there are three clubs interested in Timmy. “We are waiting for the right option to come forward and in the end myself and Tim will make a decision.” Cahill has always said he hadn’t closed the door on playing in the A-League and reiterated those comments in Melbourne yesterday. “I will address this issue after tomorrow night’s game,” Cahill said. “I don’t want to take the focus away from the Socceroos by talking about the A-League. “I am a massive supporter of the competition and I have always said I will never close the door. But overall, I think it’s going to be left down to the big boss man of the league (David Gallop) to decide what he wants to do.”

Thank you for everything Patty, from Leeds to City. You were as solid as a rock. Will be missed. MOT.

Am thinking this is his manager doing the same as he did mid-season when he was rumored to be signing to a team in Uruguay. Just trying to land the best deal possible for his client. Is in career best form, in one of the worlds best cities, family seem happy. Not sure why he'd want to toy with that. CFG should just offer him $3m and shut it up. Ffs the Sheikh would have $3m in his fucking car ash tray.

If CFG with all their resources, let this man go, my support for this club will seriously come into question. I know for a fact I am not alone.

Surely this is it? This cannot go on any further. If he's not gone next season I seriously question CFG's intentions with Melbourne City.

Still buzzing, hair standing on end. Unbelievable night. Nights like that make all the pain worthwhile. Hand Bruno a blank cheque book. Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

That's enough for me, time to move this bloke on.

Has been cited. Would miss the next match you would think. Not ideal.

Collect at venue only???? Massive fuck up from ticketek here.

Asian Champions League sure looks like fun, both teams look absolutely cooked. Victory look even worse than Sydney.

Credit where it's due but as much as Brisbane have been good, Victory have been poor. Midfield & fullbacks all over the shop, plus some terrible, terrible goalkeeping directly leading to the 2nd goal. Will be an interesting 2nd half.

Yeah Sydney's season is quickly falling around them, injuries are building and the ACL is only going to make it worse. Finals looking beyond them.

Not a shabby day on the punt yesterday.. Winning Edge @ Doomben TICK Lady Jetsetter @ Doomben Ran 2nd Full Refund Bow Creek @ Caulfield TICK Extreme Choice @ Caulfield TICK Burnley/Reading/Stoke TICK Over 2.5 Goals @ Chelsea/Southhampton TICK Grendisar @ Lingfield TICK (thanks tesla) West Ham/Leicester/Tottenham - Pending Only lost cash on Victory - always have money on them it's the only way I can stand the cunts winning.
