Oh I agree.

Sensational red x.

ROFLLLLLLLL. Watching Wst Ham v Bolton. This Nicky Hunt guy was trying to clear the ball, and he kicked it off the goalie's head and scored in his own goal. The look on his face was priceless.

Just watched the Liverpool v. Fulham game. Wow did they get their asses handed to them or what? And that Collins John guy, aside from having a backwards name, is a whiney bitch.

Robbie Fowler's kinda nasty.

[toxic rooster]

My boys :love:

[packt up]

Gooner Middlesbrough are fucking shit and they are never going to win anything ever again. Seriously if the Premiership wasn't filled with fucking dire teams this season they would go down. ARGGHHHHH how can you change from one of the best teams to watch ever (at times) to a terrible team with no talent full of old players who are fat and shit and who play infront of 2000 people everygame in a shit city.

[toxic rooster]

It's what I do :cool:

Thanks to being on the other side of the planet, I missed both legs but reports I'm hearing are that Roma shat on us the whole second leg (barring the first 20 minuts or so), and Schwarzer pulling off a string of great saves to keep us alive - great stuff, I'm really sorry to have missed it.

Look at the Premiership - take out Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United and name me a club you can see winning something anytime soon. We probably won't win anything soon, you probably won't win anything soon either, watch me care.

There's fucking dire teams in the Premiership every year, packt up, not just this one. The gap's increasing every year (though this one has been different with Wigan and West Ham in the top 10), the Premiership is almost guaranteed 3 teams who will struggle to make the grade (the promoted ones, if you didn't catch that ;)), being propped up by subpar teams is nothing new. Ask Everton why they're still in the top flight after 2 seasons ago, or West Brom why they're still in the top flight after last year.

Also, being in the stadium and witnessing Schwarzer's shootout heroics putting us in the World Cup for the first time in my lifetime kinda converted me. I've made my call :o

[toxic rooster]

BTW, Fernando Torres reckons you've bid for him

[packt up]

Yeah wtf is with that. Torres at Newcastle would be mad - bet he would flop too like Luque. Don't take my previous post too seriously btw I just like venting at Middlesbrough cos you know local crap :). Plus I really don't think you're any good ;). Having said that I bet you beat us whenever we next play you cos we are equallly inept. Beating Roma btw is a fucking great result.

And away from our dire showing against the scouse bastards...

What a game at Fulham. That's what the Premiership is all about. Two rivals one full of expensive world class players on the verge of the Premiership, the other full of decent players sprinkled with Malbranque and 36 year old Mark Crossley managed by a lovely Welshman.

AND FULHAM WON just brilliant. I love Chris Coleman everytime I see him I want to give him a big hug.

Fuck you Gallas you fucking dirty bastard (also a player I normally rate very highly), Fuck you Chelsea, and especially Fuck you Didier Drogba.

[Cactus Sid]

I love how Jose Mourinho has to find SOMETHING to complain about. I mean, jesus, where is the logic in "It was a handball, so the goal shouldn't have stood.....but it should've stood because the referee didn't actually see it"

It really makes you wonder what goes on in his head.

[toxic rooster]

I also love the irony of him bitching about the Fulham players 'pressuring' the referee.

[Cactus Sid]

Ah yes, that was another one which was pure gold.

But we all know Mourinho thinks that there should be one rule for Chelsea and one for everyone else.

[Ogen]

Well technically the goal should have stood even though it was handball theres no way they could have seen it actually happen. I mean the right thing happened but theres no way he saw it

[Rob]

But we all know Mourinho thinks that there should be one rule for Chelsea and one for everyone else.

You mean there isn't?

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">Surely officials shouldn't give decisions unless they're certain they're right though.

The ref said the lino told him he saw it. But there seems to be a lot of doubt about that.</font>

[packt up]

If he saw it why didn't he flag? Cos he didn't. Therefore it was bad even though the result was good. He guessed and got lucky. Doesn't mean that what he did was right.

Having said that he should have given Fulham a pen so these things all even out kinda.

[packt up]

Wow Birmingham are even more terrible than I thought. They are never going to stay up though going out of the cup means they can "focus on survival" or whatever spin they normally put on it.

Wow even when I wrote this I didn't realise HOW BAD Birmingham are. Not saying Liverpool didn't deserve to rip them to shreds but come on. No Premiership team should ever get beat by another one 7-0 never mind at home. Makes me embarassed and I don't even give a flying shit about Birmingham and want them to go down. Fucking hell so bad.

[Cactus Sid]

To be fair, all of our goals tonight could have been avoided by better teams.

Crouch's first and Cisse's should've been kept out, and I'm sure Taylor's positioning was off for Riise's goal.

The marking was non-existent for Hyypia's goals, and they just left HUGE gaps for the Morientes goal and Crouchie's second. Plus the own goal.

Liverpool played well, and cut them apart, but I think it was more a case of Birmingham being pure shit, than Liverpool being that great. I'm pleased with the result, and with the strikers scoring, there are a lot of positives to take from the game, but Liverpool fans shouldn't forget that we just beat, in my opinion, the worst team in the league. Even Sunderland don't capitulate like that.

[packt up]

I can't really see how you can call Birmingham worse than Sunderland. Sunderland haven't won at home all season and are on course for not only the lowest points total in Premiership history but I think in English footballing history. HOWEVER, recently Birmingham have been playing worse. Just terrible terrible football which would make me feel sick if I ever was unfortunate enough to be a Birmingham fan and paid to see a game.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Sunderland, for all their faults, have not fallen apart like that at all this season, which in a way is credit to McCarthy (in a backhanded sort of way). They're a worse team, but in a way Birmingham should be far more ashamed because they have much better players and have performed much worse.

[Rob]

Birmingham are bad but they have played some decent stuff this season at times. Sunderland are total mince. It's not even a comparison.

[packt up]

Good point about the better players MMM. They have been playing so shit I even forgot that there are some half decent players at Birmingham. The only reason I want Birmingham to stay up is because they want to sign Nicky Butt. If anyone else wants him I'd be amazed. Otherwise they don't deserve to stay up and they almost certainly won't.

[Karlsberg]

Yes we were shite tonight and have been for most of the season and the chances of us staying up are slim at best but we are by no means worse than sunderland, sorry Mackem.

Just out of curiosity packt up why are you so desperate to see us go down.

[packt up]

I wouldn't say desperate :p. I just hate it when big teams are down there really. I actually really like Bruce and think he's an alright bloke but his management this season has been terrible. I dunno what it is in me but if a good team is doing shit I want them to suffer for it. It was the same with Leeds I just wanted them to get there come uppance or whatever. Rooting for the underdog and all that. I don't think you can deny that Birmingham should be doing better than WBA, Portsmouth or even teams like Fulham for example.

[packt up]

Also if there is anymore evidence needed that Warnock is the biggest dickhead in the world.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/s/sheff_utd/4828084.stm

[Karlsberg]

I agree I think we should be doing better than the teams you mentioned but sadly for me we aint and we have no one to blame but ourselves. Some of Bruce's decisions this season have been very bad for example playing 17 year old Marcos Painter at left back and Clapham in midfield when he could have easily paid Clapham at left back and Lazaridis in midfield.

Of the three of us down there I think Pompey will be the ones to get out of it.

[packt up]

Yeah that decision confused me too. Lazaridis has even played at left back quite a few times if I'm not mistaken?? Painter looked very edgy against Gerrard who of course is absolutely world class. I always remembered Clapham as more of a left back and Lazaridis as a midfielder but I know they can play at both positions.

Today I was almost certain you would lose before kick off and then after 55 seconds it was literally all over. I used to think Pompey were destined for the drop but lately its all been going there way and the other teams have seriously hard run-ins. So I think they will stay up too.

[Karlsberg]

Yeah Lazaridis has played at left back a few times but was not all that convincing.

As we are in agreement about the teams that are going down who do you think will replace us, obviously Reading are a certainty.

[packt up]

Yeah Reading. Erm I'm not entirely sure on the others to be honest :$ I feel Sheffield Utd will pull through eventually but for the playoffs I fancy Watford. I really haven't seen much so I'm just going on hunches and the little that I've read.

[Flair Wooo]

Liverpool beat birmingham 7-0 ha :D

[Boondock Saint]

ROFL. Isn't that kind of a high scoring game for soccer? Not to mention a slaughter.

[toxic rooster]

Yeah, as packt up said it should never happen in the Premiership. But it has 3 times in the last year now.

[Boondock Saint]

Damn.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Yeah Reading. Erm I'm not entirely sure on the others to be honest :$ I feel Sheffield Utd will pull through eventually but for the playoffs I fancy Watford. I really haven't seen much so I'm just going on hunches and the little that I've read.

lol MMM ({) Like I said I really know very little about the Championship this season so my opinions are next to useless :). Most I've seen is when I went to see Coventry vs Derby on a whim. 6-1 to Coventry ahaha hilarious. Apart from that I really know NOTHING.

[Cactus Sid]

I wonder how many of you know that Liverpool's record defeat was actually against Birmingham.....

[CSL]

<font color=white>Wasn't it like 8 or 9-1 or something?

Wow we are a whole 3 minutes better than Birmingham. That's reassuring.

[Cactus Sid]

Yeah, but you're not playing that badly right now

[packt up]

Yeah we aren't to be honest. Chelsea look like they are dawdling but still not too bad. Defending for the goal was shocking still however. And lol at Given pushing Babayaro, wish more people would - maybe he'd learn to defend once and a while.

[Rob]

I'll seriously die laughing if Chelsea haven't wrapped the title up before we go to the Bridge.

Lol yeah totally wouldn't mind West Ham winning. Think I'll support them and then failing that COME ON LIVERPOOL. Argh just anyone apart from Chelsea (and Middlesbrough)

I'll be happy to see West Ham win it if we don't

Anything to stop the fucking Chelsea fans

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">I watched the first half an hour of Germany vs USA last night before the Chelsea game. The US ended up getting hammered 4-1 but they seemed to be playing the weirdest formation ever.

When Sky showed the line ups they were playing like

<font color="#ff6600">WHERE IS THE WIDTH?!?!</font>

[Rob]

Real Madrid did that same formation a few times this season.

Makes a change for the US anyway. I still remember them playing 6 across the middle.

[McDoogle]

They were talking about that formation and said the reason why the Americans used it was because they wanted to shove the ball down the middle as much as possible as they thought that was Germany's weakness.

[packt up]

Yeah Real used that quite a lot I remember a few years ago. Had Makelele and Helguera I think holding with Zidane and Figo in front of them and then Ronaldo and Raul. Not a bad team. Didn't do much though.

If I was playing those "players" that kind of money I'd be fucking pissed if they played that poorly. Seems as though the players are employed by him its not a big thing that he expects some sort of level of performance from them. League two sides get beat 7-0 by Premiership teams (rarely) not fellow Premiership sides. Fucking hell that result still pisses me off so much I just want to slap all those Birmingham players.

[packt up]

Pretty out of line to be honest.

[Cactus Sid]

I dunno, I mean, I think he has a fair point, the papers talk bollocks a lot, but they need something to go on, and it seems as though Defoe was touted to clubs, and we probably did the same with Cisse, hence Rafa has come out with this.

Then again....he could be trying to unsettle a player we want to sign in the summer.

[packt up]

I dunno. I just don't like clubs speaking on behalf of others you know. I know lots of clubs do it and Rafa ain't the first I just don't think its right when anybody does it. Another thing is Inter and Van Nistelrooy. With that one i think it's clearer that its there to unsettle. I'd swap Cisse for Defoe any day btw.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Any way mersyside derby tommorrow come on the pool!!!!!

[Rob]

Gerrard sent off already. Commentators are giving it the usual "the ref should have had a word in his ear first" bullshit. Gerrard got booked for his lip and then within 90 seconds through in a dirty challenge. Blatantly deserved to go. Don't even know why it's being questioned. If it was a Everton player, Liverpool fans would say the same.

[packt up]

Lol at the derby so ridiculously dirty and petulant. If one team just played normally they'd win cos the other team would be so ridiculously stupid but as it is they both raise their stupidness. Gerrard definitely deserved to go.

[toxic rooster]

9 yellow cards and 2 red :$

That's a whole team in the book.

It's a shame, I was really looking forward to seeing some football, too :(.

Something should also be done about players pressuring the ref after every decision, too. Kewell bitching at the ref when he sent off Gerrard was ridiculous.

He didn't bait his own fans at all.

But he is still a dick. Funny how we didn't see half the Chelsea team surround the ref about a handball yesterday too.

[Rob]

Never thought in a million years I'd be saying a game between Boro and Bolton was blinding. The ref (again) was a disgrace. How the fuck Pogatetz didn't get a free kick after being elbowed in the face is baffling. Davies not getting a red card was shocking. I'm only suprised Pogatetz never took him in the tunnel and stamped on his throat. Van Der Mayde got sent off for less yesterday.

Can't wait for Allardyce's excuses too. He always has something to moan about. He is just as bitter as Mourinho.

Fucking excellent game, wasn't expecting anything from it, and as you say it was a blinder.

Remember when Pogatetz was almost banned for a year for breaking that guys leg......I was just waiting for him to do it to Davies.....I'd be lying if I said I wasn't egging him on at home.

As for yesterday. Gerrard was a complete tit. You don't go in for a stupid lunge after being booked for kicking the ball away 30 seconds earlier. He was just asking for it, and the ref made the right decision. On the other hand, it gave us the kick up the arse we needed.

What can I say about the game.....we beat Everton 3-1 and Phil Neville scores an own goal.....fantastic.

Oh and Xabi Alonso..... world class.

[Nervous Ferret]

Saw the same Liverpool/Everton game as Boondock, Liverpool was up by 1 and Everton played like a complete douche and looked like they just wanted to go hom towards the end, then some Liverpool guy made a pretty "sick" shot towards the end, and Liverpool won by 2.

Just a thought but how much do average players get paid?

For example, in baseball, A-rod is the highest paid player and he is tyaking in around 25 mill a year, 252 mill over all. An average player gets a few million a year. Other "American" sports have salary caps and stuff, but it is still a few mill for an "average" player

Yeah so how much do these guys get

[Mr. Monday Morning]

The very best players are on roughly £100k/week, so that's what - £5m a year roughly. About $7.5m, say. Below that it varies, players in the top leagues probably average about £20-40k a week, so about $1-2m. They can make more with endorsements etc but only very elite guys make enough off that for it to even enter consideration.

David Beckham probably makes about $15m a year (there were pretty official figures somewhere I think) - that's wages plus a ton of endorsements and he keeps a percentage of all his merchandise sales.

[Nervous Ferret]

Apparently the Scousers like him now. They used to hate his guts

By the way I just watched the WCQ for the 4 billionth time. I dont give a fuck if Schwartzer arses up every single save in his career from now on, the guy will always go down in my memory for 2 things:

1) Getting us to Germany

By the way got my tickets today for the Australia-Greece friendly in May. Sitting in a "neutral" section. In other words away from the designated Australian and Greek section. I can't be fucked hearing rednecks telling the Greeks to "fuck off wogs" and I also can't be fucked hearing the Greeks saying "fuck this country I hate it and wish I could go back to Greece even though I've never been in my whole life and don't realise how much better I am off here in Australia" :roll:

[toxic rooster]

Neutral section? Sounds like bad news.

You just know it's gonna be full of Aussie and Greek fans who couldn't get a ticket in their section trying to start each other.

[yianni]

Nah, cos I have a seat in the front row of the second level (mad seat trust me) and at the end of the row too. So I can ignore the fights behind me (if there are any) and just watch the game with the mad view I have.

I actually hope there are fights and both the rednecks and Marios kick the shit out of each other. Fucking waste of space both sets of cunts.

[Cactus Sid]

On the Kewell/Liverpool thing

A lot of Liverpool fans will never forgive him for being such a pussy in the biggest match the club had been in for 20 years, to go with the fact that up until this season he had been utter shite week in week out. Being paid 50 grand a week to ponce around doing nothing, losing the ball, showing no passion and then basically not wanting to play in the biggest club game in the world is gonna make the fans hate him.....hell I hate him

On the other hand, the lad is trying his best to turn the fans around. Couple of cracking goals, playing the left winger we signed him for, and seemingly putting in a 110% each week. If he keeps it up, the fans will love him the way we did when we signed him.

[Rob]

I also can't be fucked hearing the Greeks saying "fuck this country I hate it and wish I could go back to Greece even though I've never been in my whole life and don't realise how much better I am off here in Australia" :roll:

That sounds like every single arab and pretty much most black people from Africa I've met in London.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Might be the most popular thing Chelsea fans ever did. Assuming it happens.

[Flair Wooo]

Well done to arsenal tonight 2-0 against juve nice

[Danny Electric]

I hope Drogba dives in the world cup after already picking up a yellow card and then gets sent off in a really important Ivory Coast match which leads them to getting knocked out.
Then I hope the whole nation hates him.

He's a waste of space.

[McDoogle]

And then I hope they burn him because I can't stand him.

[Boondock Saint]

Watched Charlton v Middlesbrough today. Not much happened. This game was sposed to decide who faces West Ham right? So since they tied, they gots to play again or do they just go by who has more wins currently?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Yeah there is a replay, the cup competitions run independantly of the league. The replay will go to penalties if there is no clear winner at the end of normal time.

[Boondock Saint]

I see. Cool.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

I trust you are following the fortunes of your new team? :mad:

<Font color="#ff6600">I hope that one day he's walking through the park and some kids are like "hey Drogba, have a kick about with us" and he just ignores them cos he's a cunt, but then his agent who happens to be with him goes "go on Didier, it'll be good for your image." So he starts having a kick about with these kids in this park. And the park is built on the site of a former factory. Anyway, then Drogba being the gigantic cunt that he is starts diving in this kick about with kids. But he ends up diving and falling on a piece of lead which is sticking out of the ground that is left from the factory. And he gets heavy metal poisoning and dies as a result. And no one goes to his funeral apart from his dickhead uncle who blames football fans for Drogba's death. Then the church falls down killing him and everyone is happy.</font>

[Danny Electric]

Yeah he's uncle is a knob too.
Fair play to the Chelsea fans who booed him.

[Boondock Saint]

I trust you are following the fortunes of your new team? :mad:

Blackburn all the way. They haven't had a televised match over here in a couple weeks though, sadly. :(

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Your team is Reading. READING :mad:

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">Congrats on promotion Boondock. Dunno if we'll be playing you next season. Your fans were a bit shit last time we played you, they'll probably be more up for it now you're good.</font>

[Boondock Saint]

Your team is Reading. READING :mad:

lol they haven't played once, at least on TV here, since I've started watching. How can I support a team I can't even see play.

DAVE BENTLEY

[Mr. Monday Morning]

They have just won promotion to the Premiership, they will be there next season.

JUMP ON THAT WAGON :mad:

[Nervous Ferret]

I have not seen a single Port Vale game here, but I'll keep looking :(

[Mr. Monday Morning]

I doubt you will, they are down in League 1 :$

You may wish to adopt a higher-ranked team as a 'second' team if you will, much like Boondock appears to have adopted Blackburn :mad:

[Nervous Ferret]

Against contrary belief, I guess league 1 isn't very good. :(


What is a team that is gunna be hot not right now, but in like 2 years.

[Nervous Ferret]

Gimme the 2008 Detroit Lions team

Lmao :rofl: sarcasm at it's best

[Nervous Ferret]

Thanks for pointing that out, Flair's saggy bitchtits. Otherwise I would have "supported" Aston Villa.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

You'll probably be all right with a team like West Ham in that case.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

You'll probably be all right with a team like West Ham in that case. Wrong way, West Ham are hot now, but won't be in two years.

Which is why I completely unbiasedly recommended Leicester. :shifty:

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Real glad I'm not a Middlesbrough supporter who used to support Arsenal

[toxic rooster]

I made my call.

:o.

[Ogen]

No you get no opinion you team jumping - insert insult begiing with a J here for maxium illiteration effect - but still you CANT DO THAT YOU BASTARD your no better than Yanks

[Nervous Ferret]

WAIT, I really don't like Liverpool. Just the name makes them seem like huge jerks. WHO is there "arch rival", and I will support them.

[Cactus Sid]

Nowt wrong with Liverpool

These days we have 3 main rivals, none of which you should support.

You've got our biggest rivals, being Manchester United, long running northern thing between the two biggest clubs in the north of England and the 2 most successful clubs in the history of English football. They've pretty much had their day now, but new United fans get mocked for being a glory supporter.

Then you've got the local rivals, Everton, they also play in the city of Liverpool.... the less said about them the better. Overrated side who play crap football, not worth supporting.

Then there is Chelsea, lot of hatred between the 2 sets of fans. Chelsea manager is jealous of the Liverpool manager and so on. Chelsea are the best team in the country right now, so supporting them makes you a glory supporter, and will therefore be shunned.

Pick someone else dammit.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">Support Tottenham. They're doing well. Plus they have Robbie Keane.</font>

[Flair Wooo]

Come on he's not bad! If he was playing for someone like arsenal pool or utd he would suit there style of play more me thinks.

[LK]

lol could Chelsea bottle it?

[LK]

PS Nerf if you want to support a proper team, the Famous Aberdeen is the way to go.

[Flair Wooo]

I hate chelski but i hate man you even more so hopefull not...unless utd fuck up as well and we win the league :D

Liverpool game finnished 2-0 :D

[Rob]

Ugh.

Come on then Harvey what's your Paypal account, or whatever. You win.

Mate, I still think United have a chance of winning the title just because of the maths so there's no way I'm taking your money on Wolves until it's impossible for them to make the play offs.

[packt up]

First off fucking hell Arsenal were good against Juve and lol at them kicking the shit out of boring Villa. Thierry Henry is just fucking scary good and lol at Van Persie's skill making Sorensen look like a dick.

Second SCOTT PARKER you legend get better soon. Fucking hero playing week in week out, best player on the pitch for us WHILE HE HAS GLANDULAR FUCKING FEVER. Fuck England we'll just hog him for ourselves.

And finally WOOOO have it Spurs you bastards particularly Jenas. N Zogbia is going to be fucking class.

[Flair Wooo]

^^ Are you drunk? ha

[Nervous Ferret]

Who does Karl Frederick Ljundberg play for these days. I will support his team through and through, because of that neat song Wee G taught me.

Liverpool :D

Arsenal so forget that! I'm telling you Aberdeen is the way to go.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Don't do it Nerf, Scottish football is the biggest <s>joc</s> joke ever.

[LK]

True it once was, but the stranglehold of the old firm is slowly dissappearing, while English football has produced some of the worst games I've seen in my time of viewing the game.

[Nervous Ferret]

Does Wee Gooner still like Arsenal

[Nervous Ferret]

Tottenham is a goer. Robbie Keane ftw

[packt up]

I like Spurs actually. SHAME WE PWN3D THEM.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">Gooner doesn't like Arsenal anymore, for some reason he switched allegiences to a really terrible team that everyone hates. But thats his perogative. He probably likes getting tied up and whipped by fat women to get his kicks sexually too.

Spurs are good. They're doing well this season. Plus everyone loves Robbie Keane.</font>

Being in the stadium to see Mark Schwarzer take us to a world cup for the first time in my lifetime, well it kind of converted me.

Won't ever, ever, ever happen again. Unless Arsene Wenger can organise Heidi Klum to come to my house, and dance the macarena while doing a naked backwards crabwalk with a pair of maracas in each hand and balancing a ming vase on a wire rod stuck between her 2 little toes, I'm sticking with the Boro for good.

:o.

[yianni]

Gooner you stupid disloyal cunt, my opinion of Schwartzer and Kewell changed that night as well but it doesn't mean I'm going to start supporting the clubs they play for. I would possibly develop a soft spot for those clbs but most definately wouldn't switch clubs. Farcical!

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">support Alaves cos of John Aloisi.</font>

You already had a club with some connection to you (ie being of Greek extraction, following South Melbourne)

I was only ever glory supporting Arsenal, I still have somewhat of a soft spot for them. I made a choice to follow Middlesbrough that night (as being Aussie, I have some connection to them), and they're my team, for good. Even if they were to get relegated, all the Aussies leave, or a combination of the 2 :o

[Rob Ban Fan]

Bollocks.

Yes I began following South Melbourne cos of the Greek connection, but even if Marco Bresciano (mad cunt) was playing for I dunno Sydney FC in the A-League and scored the winner in the World Cup final against Brazil, still wouldn't make me leave South Melbourne and follow the Sydney cunts

At least you admit you were glory supporting the Arse. But I have no doubt if Vidukes, Jones and Schwartzer fuck off from Borough and/or they get relegated you'll fuck off to Blackburn cos Neil and Emerton are there or some shit.

Also lol at the Boro game being on ITV4. That's priority coverage right there.

Gattuso is a fucking beast. Where ever you see the ball he isn't far away no matter where the ball is.
