At least minnows like Italy and Holland will have a chance to show their wares on the world stage.

Fantastic atmosphere at the stadium... great game. France full of individual brilliance but we played as the better team perhaps. We have avoided the opening round thrashing of the last two

I thought the Spurs strip was ok.

Was stoked to see Cahill re sign for us, means we will hold onto him unleast until janauary :P

Stoked about Cahill I bet. But not with the 6-1 thumping at the hands of the Gunners.

Man U over Birmingham, just 1-0. Yeah, not sure about Owen. Will score a few, but I wonder if he'll be able to hold up for the entire season. I think Chelsea, and the Gunners are off to a flyer. How was Drogba's chip goal. Awesome.

Will be interesting to see how Man City go with all their buys. They look a bit weak down back at the moment.

Update -

Fulham have lost Andy Johnson for 2 months - dislocated collarbone.

Hull will pay £4M for David Nugent from Pompey - deal should go through.

Everton spanked Sigma in the Europa league last night 4-0. Lescott didnt play due to Moyes Attitude adjustment. I reckon City have thier man......

Villa however lost 1-0 to Rapid Vienna in the Europa tie.

Pompey in talks to sign Bolton duo Danny Shittu and Gavin Mcann. I shiitu you not!

Ashley Cole signed 4 year deal to remain a Blue Boy. What he does with Mobile phones is none of my business....

As for Man U my friends - Michael Owen dead set couldnt slot a greasy stick up a pigs ar$e. I told you that upon transfer.

Now just wait for the injury - that's next.

West Ham 1 - 2 Tottenham

Lennon's left foot!

Saw that goal last night. Great goal threaded between about 3-4 defenders. The pass to him on the lead wasn't that good, but his touch was deft and he created the goal out of nothing. Weak defence all the same.

Go you Gooners. Quiet achievers, the way i like it.

:lol:

Compared to Man U & those Gutter Crawlers Chelsea, yes we are.

Arsenal will be right up there this year. Still a club owned by its members.

You're kidding yourself...what has the Gunners quietly achieved lately? Man U & Chelsea have left Arsenal in their wake the last few years.

Liverpool looking most vunerable of the big 4 already. Far too reliant on Torres and Stevie G.

Chelsea far from impressive so far but still look unstoppable in the same sentence. Go Blues!

Gooners classy but there will be a time they are vunerable with lack of depth, smart man in charge will remain top 4.

City - bubble will burst mark my words.

Pompey finally taken over by Oily Arab.

UEFA president Michel Platini is bringing in FIVE referees at every game to stop diving cheats like Eduardo. Additionaly to that - Top Ref Mark Halsey has been diagnosed with Cancerand will undergo treatment.

UEFA CL Group draw was done last night. all 4 avoided each other.

Transfer:

Lescott gone to City and rightly so. Scar face is over rated. Top 4 my Ar$e

Aston Villa have completed the signing of Stephen Warnock from Blackburn Rovers.

Blackburn Rovers have completed the signing of Pascal Chimbonda on a two-year contract from Tottenham Hotspur for an undisclosed fee.

Fulham have completed the signing of South African international Kagisho Dikgacoi.

Thats all for now - GG

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
