So the mighty Reds are actually staking their claim this year, so many times over the last 4-5 years i've thought "maybe we'll actually challenge for the premiership" and now we're looking the goods. Winning 2-3 over Man City when they've got the deepest pockets in the sport at their home AND after being 2-0 down is an awesome result and i really think the player have the belief, the key will be whether they can maintain this over the whole season and the games against the like of Chelski, Arsenal, and Man U must yeild points.

Torres you are a star!

    Good to see another Bolton fan on here.

    Good win over the Hammers last night. Good to see us play some decent football. Matty Taylors strike was a cracker.

    Up the Wanderers, ey Condemned.

    Taylors goal was awesome!

    I have had fun giving it to my mates over the green howler :lol:

    I fell asleep for 15 minutes and they had slammed on 3 goals, could not believe it.

    Half time for Bolton Vs Blackburn 0-0, Bolton have been the better team but we have not capitalized, pissing down rain so the game is a bit sloppy and people are falling down all over the shop.

    Come on you whites!

    Ironic a Melbourne supporter laughing at someone else for being last, but yes, I go for Spurs.

    Anyone see their 95th minute penalty attempt? Off one upright, rolled across the goalline hit the other upright, then bounced out, another Stoke guy had a shot at goal, drilled it into the crossbar

    2 points from 8 games...better be careful Spurs or you'll be playing at places like Southampton, Norwich or Preston...at least there will be a few local derbies against Crystal Palace, Charlton and QPR

    Martin Jol must be wearing a very wry smile

    Heard a joke the other day...What's the difference between Tottenham and a triangle???

    The triangle has 3 points

    Go Gunners!...3-1 V Everton

    I still fail to see how we have a good team.

    We lost three A grade strikers, and replaced them with rubbish. Losing in the process a few average-good midfielders, who whilst were not world class, always seemed to know how to scrap through games and understood the EPL gameplay.

    I can't really see it changing before January, interestingly we're two wins away from being clear of the drop zone and it would all be forgotten. But again, i can't see it happening. Think we have Arsenal next, woohoo.

    Not sure abotu Ramos, the squad isn't really his fault, though i miss the days of Jol when our team produced so many good English kids, and about 3-4 England Internationals

    Yea True, but it's not as if your a bottom team, you actually do still have some quality their.

    Oh and i bet Jol has a nice big smirk on his face, considering how he is doing at Hamburg aswell

    Ah well we'll just have to wait and see

    Well half our points this season came after being a goal down at the Bridge, HALF! So i guess you never know

    1-1 at half time in the NUFC v Man City.

    Rob styles is back to his best decision making, sending Beye off and giving a penalty to city for a cleary fantastic tackle that got the ball and missed the player.

    How this hack gets a game as a ref is beyond me.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
