Ah yes, may aswell move to a new thread now
![]() As i said in the other one though, i'm fairly pleased with Leicester's, we need a good start because most of them are against what i'd consider bottom half opposition. Quite a tough last month though and Southampton on the last day should be good, could well be things riding on that game aswell. |

Its a bit typical that Liverpool get the side who handed us our biggest defeat of the season, on the first day of the season.
Plus I miss the Arsenal game because of Reading ![]() |

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho may have to re-structure his list of transfer targets if the club have to resolve their row over Frank Arnesen by selling Glen Johnson and Robert Huth to Tottenham.
Both England right-back Johnson and Germany centre-half Huth are now believed to be part of a cash-plus-player compensation package designed to end the feud before Friday's noon deadline. Spurs, incensed by pictures of their suspended sporting director on Roman Abramovich's yacht this week, reacted by issuing a terse statement demanding that Chelsea reach a settlement by the deadline or face being the subject of another Premier League 'tapping-up' investigation. ---- Oh dear, Mantle will not be happy ![]() |

Was 3 seperate posts really necessary there?
And i'd guess it's because you wouldn't be expected to beat Germany and Argentina, and did quite well against both. It already mentions a 3-0 defeat to Uruguay, so the 1-0 loss wouldn't look so bad. Anyway, quite a few links over the weekend: Robert Green or Ian Walker to Pompey, Robinho to Arsenal for £14m and Real Madrid are meant to have offered £20m plus Owen and Solari for Lampard, which has been rejected. |

We wanted to bring John Aloisi back but he made wage demands of £30,000 after he scored the brace against Argentina so we fucked him off and he's going to play in Greece now

John Aloisi is the fucking man...another reason Farina should be given the arse (good link to that site Gooner). That fucking useless idiot hasn't given Aloisi a chance to shine in the seniors for years even though the bloke ALWAYS turned up when asked to. He is a fucking legend and has shown why, yet I bet that useless tosser Farina will still not select him for the qualifiers and get rid of Dads Army (all the old cunts Vidmar, Muscat etc) up the back. And once more we will fail to qualify for the World Cup. At least then I guess he will finally get the arse.
RBF, I think Aloisi's move to Panathinaikos is a good one. Whilst playing in Spain was obviously excellent (one of the best leagues) Osasuna were hardly going to compete in Champions League, UEFA Cup etc. With Panathinaikos he should be playing Champions League football every year (UEFA Cup at the very least) and should be a key player for them. If that useless cunt Farina selects him for the November play-off, he will be playing Champions League football leading up to it, which will be excellent for Australia as he will be playing regularly and (hopefully) killing it. ![]() |

![]() Farina is a bit useless, but he doesn't get near enough credit, really. He's made a few fuck-ups with selections, and he's very reluctant to change our aging defence but fuck, you wouldn't dream of the performances Australia had against Argentina and Germany even 4 years ago. The point I was making was, the team has improved so much since Farina took over (I think from Blanco, about 5 years ago), and he's getting no credit for it. |

Don't know if anyone mentioned it earlier, but Angelos Basinas looks to have signed with Birmingham City.
Also Wengerland, I think it's pretty much confirmed the Prince is going back to his old club to finish off his career. ![]() Gooner, didn't Farina take the gig after Venables and the 2-2 with Iran ( ![]() ![]() |

Maybe the fact Australia hasn't qualified for the world cup in 32 years has something to do with it.
I'm not sure, I seem to remember Blanco taking the Olyroos in 2000, maybe that was just a one tournament thing or something |
