Thanks for the tip ...  cheers bro !

Yeah, a bit of a step up in quality over tonight's game! 

It's a bit of a pity it's not the Brazil of old with Socrates & Zico et al

 

The opposition wasn't much but we played alright.  The win puts the Aussies back in the picture at least 

Top 2 in the group is still attainable but we'll need to get at least 2 of 4 wins against the Saudi's & Japan (and that's a big ask) 

3rd or 4th in the group advances the team to the next qualifying round.  Top 2 straight to the WC

World Cup qualifier v Japan.

Japan 0 - Socceroos 1 (own goal, lol), 65 minutes gone.

Now 1 -1 . (Another own goal !!)

Gee wiz. Always an interesting time to sack a manager.

Well 'ten Hag' getting sacked seems to have been a long time coming

Almost every week there has some sort of story that he was on thin ice

Man Utd reminds me of the VRC (Racing Victoria) ... not knowing what to about the free spending and successful noisy neighbour (Man City & NSW Racing) 

Mind you, Man City could have some big issues soon enough what with the investigation re their true & accurate financial situation

And for what it's worth, the head of NSW Racing (Peter V'landys) is a true visionary with bucket loads of money at his disposal

 

Ruben Amorim officially named as Man Utd manager.

Liverpool was right into him until he decided to meet with West Ham and we moved on. I personally would have liked to give him a shot but it was something completely different to what Klopp had engrained in the club.

For United though, it could be anything, he's a young coach who plays with 3 at the back and with true wing-backs.

Will it work? No idea. But it will be different and it will be exciting to watch if the right players are involved.

Spurs beat Man CIty 4-nil at Man City!! 

Opens the door for Liverpool to now skip ahead in the race for the title

But the result was a shock both ways - A huge away win for Spurs and a shocking loss for City

We've actually got a decent record against them in the Pep era, stretching back to Poch days and including a few good away wins.

Losing to Ipswich at home and then thumping City away is the most Spursy thing ever.

Ha!  (The Spursy thing)

So, Liverpool have skipped away to an 8 point lead but it's not quite theirs to lose just yet

One can see Man City rallying if and when they get back on track

Liverpool are at home to Man City next Monday morning (3.00am) 

Arsenal & Chelsea are lurking as well but either team would need to go on a reasonably long winning streak to challenge

It's going well for the moment, Slot has kept a lot of the Klopp philosophy and the high presses are still there with everyone stepping up and doing their bit. I love the way he uses Endo and brings him on late with a lead for some solidarity.

However the squad is pretty thin and the real test will be when we start picking up a few injuries. I do see some points being dropped in that scenario unless there is a dream run. The contract talk of Salah, Alexander-Arnold and VVD will start to intensify as we go into December so how much of a distraction that turns out to be will factor in as well.

Will see where things sit at the new year. The game against City this week will tell a lot!


3.00am tomorrow morning (Monday)

Liverpool vs Man City 

Season definer, win lose or draw.  A draw suits Liverpool way more than Man City

In fact, City have to win the match as they can't assume that Liverpool will be dropping points in a hurry

One for the old schoolers this morning as Newcastle and Liverpool finished 3-3. Historically these two sides don't do boring games!

Arsenal, City and Chelsea all winning so with only 14 games played the lead at the top isn't as big as it seems. A lot can happen in December.

Fantastic result! Have followed Crystal Palace since the Dees announced a reciprocal membership deal back in the 80's. I'm sure that deal is long gone, but it started a life long love of Palace for me. The FA Cup is the first silverware in their entire history! (Founded 1861).

Was able to watch live on Optus Sport and have no chance of sleeping now. Hope I can stay awake to watch the Dees vs Lions.

Yeah, well done!!

164 years is a reasonable wait for a major trophy!!

Although, winning the Championship or Division 2 x 8 are also achievements especially for a non-big club

My Hammers for instance have a similar record ... more knock out trophies as such but nonetheless, any sort of trophy is hard earned

So Palace have now earned a spot in the Europa league for next season ... which is another trophy worth fighting for

Speaking of which ... Tottenham & Man Utd go at it for the Europa League trophy at 5.00am on Thursday

Thanks Macca.

It's incredible to think that getting 1 more point from the remaining 2 games will see Palace have their best Premier League finish ever.

Until Sunday morning, I clutched at these results. Playing Europa will be surreal and hopefully will get Palace to be a more attractive proposition for the best players and they can become a regular top half club in the years to come.

It's results at the highest level that earn overall respect. Who other than Western Bulldogs supporters know that Footscray won 9 VFA flags before their first VFL flag in '54.

Palace play Wolves tomorrow at 5am and will do our best to beat then so the Hammers can climb above them. 😉 Always had a soft spot for West Ham so here's hoping.

Another 5am start for the Europa next day. 🫰for Ange. Final game for us Monday morning against Liverpool, my brother and eldest sons team. 🤮.

Let's hope it's another good week for the red and the blue.

The 2 secondary trophy's up for grabs in Europe now means that more teams from the big leagues have something to aim for (notably the EPL but also Serie A, La Liga, and the Bundesliga)

FA Cup winners and even teams finishing as low as 7th or 8th can get a ticket into the European knock-out comps

For instance, a number of teams in the EPL have something to play for in the last week of competition (CL spots up for grabs)

I also really like the new Champions League concept with the 9 lead up games played to obtain a position in the knock-out rounds

Saw a journo on Twitter who said

"Football fandom is a largely obligatory existence where lows are stronger than highs. But this lifelong routine is interspersed with moments of joy so powerful that they eclipse everything, make everything else in life temporarily irrelevant and makes all the [censored] worthwhile."

Reminds me of my time as a Dees supporter.

Enjoy the win.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
