    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

You mean West Bolton United Wanderers......... :P

Ha ha, a tonne of my mates and wife are hammers fans and they are all up and about especially after the crap I have given them about stealing all Bolton's old players and manager and then we get relegated I expect a long year of ribbin off them.

Ha ! Wasn't aware of that although obviously knew about Sam Allardyce and his years at Bolton . Your blokes punched well above their weight for quite some time but it's awfully difficult to sustain it when it's not a level playing field . The 'Money' clubs are nearly always going to dominate and now there's about 7 or 8 of them (if you count Spurs and Newcastle) .

I'm more a fan of the EPL rather than being a fanatical Hammers fan . Watch the big games and hope that West Ham can finish mid table or slightly better . Be interesting to see how West Ham fare if they snag the Olympic stadium .

The Championship is terrific to watch as well . Bolton should bounce back well , but there's no guarantees .

Upton park is a amazing ground, I think if they move they will struggle to intimidate sides as much.

They will be looking at the $'s . Might attract a big benefactor as well .

There's 2 league's within the one league and getting into the top echelon requires big bucks . West Ham could only get bigger if they got that stadium . Might upset the hard core fans for a time but the alternative is to often try to avoid relegation or play in the championship .

It's worth a punt . Big upside .

I thought the move was sorted...?

It's not done yet unless I've missed the latest .......possibly a decision by October ?

In the end the Robin van Persie transfer fee was worth nearly $36 million (AUD) . He's getting paid $298,000 per week in an overall deal worth just under $60 million (AUD) . Nice coin !

Javier Hernandez ('Chicharito') could end up at the Gunners (according to the 'Mirror' online...)

Gunners win 2 - 0 at Anfield . Liverpool dominated for a fair portion of the game but couldn't convert . Podolski scored a nice opening goal for Arsenal .

Happy for my Hammers to get Andy Carroll on loan for the season . On the surface of things , it did seem an odd decision by Liverpool to let him go . He helped West Ham win against Fulham although he did strain a hamstring late in the game . Lofty heights for the Hammers - currently 6th !

just wanted to say...good to see the news this week with the Establishment finally admitting they covered up the real story of Hillsborough, and not only that but made up outright lies about Liverpool supporters just so the Police wouldn't be blamed for their incompetence.

We've got a few terrific match-ups . In the early game on Sunday , Liverpool host Manchester United . Later on that day the Gunners venture to Manchester City in another cracker . Also on Sunday , we've got a London derby with Tottenham at home to Queens Park Rangers .

Because of Champion's League and Europa League committments , most of the big guns will play a lot of Sunday games .

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
