Gunners put Spurs away...You beauty second on the table.

2 Goals in 49 seconds had the Totters in Tatters!!!

Superb result.....3-0

Should have been 5-0, they were so dominant.

Fabregas`goal is one of the greatest individual goals you`ll ever see. Breathtaking!

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

Both Harry and Keane started yapping earlier in the week...Spurs have a better squad/Arsenal won't win the League etc....

Keane substituted...again....Bentley non existent...

But Hell Bent is right...should have been 5-0...Eduardo one on one with Gomes shot wide.....

Keep trying Spurs...

I missed the Fulham v Liverpool game, was Torres substituted (at 1-1) because he needed a spell or because Benitez got ahead of himself? I know Torress has a bit of an injury cloud but Liverpool make me laugh. They manage a win against the mighty Red Devils then follow it up with a loss to Terry McCann's lot lol. Liverpool truely are a joke.

A horrible mix up at the back has cost Bolton their momentum - keeper came out to take a long ball but Ricketts went back to head it to him, result: a 20 metre header into an empty net and a two nil Blackburn lead

Just finished watching the most OUTRAGEOUS display I've ever seen - and it was my team doing it!

9-1!

Nine - One. And even their goal was from a handball.

Defoe 3 in 6 minutes (fastest in premier league history), 5 for the match (sorry, 5 for the HALF), spurs 8 goals in the second half. There were 5 goals in 12 minutes, 6 in 18. Lennon 3 assists and a goal.

WOOOOOOWW.

Our biggest win in the top flight, the first time a team has hit 9 in 14 years, Wigan's worst league defeat,

I don't think we'll be calling for that :lol:

Outrageously good finisher is Defoe. Surprised nothing has been said about the Henry situation. Emotion aside, I simply can't see how it can be called "cheating." Any foul would then have to be called cheating - it is not because if it it heinous enough it is given a card. If Henry's had been seend it would have been a card (yellow?). It is poor officiating and again highlights the need for tv replays. The restart in football takes about 1 minute - a video replay would take 8 seconds to watch and then the result radio'd through.

It's too big a sport with often too much at stake for these decisions to be missed.

What annoyed me about it, however, was that he celebrated the goal feverishly. I don't think that was right. He has now come out and said that he contemplated retirement. Phrased like that it makes it sound like it was years ago and he's really had to come to terms with it.

Can't believe we're not 3-4 up.

Cue equaliser?

Defoe! Quality strike, has had a bit of a rotten day. Followed up a cracking strike with an even more blistering finish.

Did you see Fabregas? The bloke is a genius! Just hope he hasn`t stuffed his hammy in the process!

When he came on he changed the game completely...fingers crossed he's not out for too long...beat Portsmouth and the game in hand against Bolton and The Arsenal are only one point behind Chelsea...not bad considering they were 11 points behind Chelsea just on a month ago..a long way to go but with the African Nations cup taking away Drogba from Chelsea for a month then the title race is as open as it's been for a long time

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
