Wigan over Spurs, and Arsenal made to work for the win away vs Rovers. Interesting season ahead.

    Spurs. Unreal.

    Pretty much every European game we play is completely whack.

    13 minutes in against Inter: 3-0 down with our keeper sent off. 35 minutes in: 4-0 down.

    Bale scores a second half hat-trick (including one of the best of the season) and we finish 4-3 losers having played over 80 minutes with 10 men.

    So where does everyone think Rooney will go , its seems Sir Alex has had enough of him and he has been in patchy form since the World Cup

    What is happening to Chelsea? At least Man U won 26 on the trot and could take top spot in a few weeks

    See the World Cup bid was on overnight. What was Elle MacPherson on ?! And Julia Gulia..OMG.

    Um, ah, um you know, um......the FIFA judges will either be wooeed by her beauty or.....

    i don't want the world cup to be in australia. it will be a security nightmare, cities locked down for 5-6 weeks.

    happy to watch it on tv at the pub from some other country.

    i agree totally with your summation of elle and joolia. very embarrassing to listen to i thought

    I agree , WYL, I don't want it,either.

    But the reason I'm opposed is because I see Soccer as a threat to our home-grown, superior game, Australian Football

    Having the World Cup here will not only badly disrupt the season of the Footy I'm interested in, but it will concentrate attention on the inferior sport.

    Many young kids will follow soccer instead of Australian football. Especially the kids of recently arrived Australians. I love the idea of migrants embracing the Australian way of life, and in my opinion, that includes Aust. Football, not European football, or "mobile wrestling"(rugby...also not native Australian).

    I like the idea of us Australians distinguishing ourselves sportwise by having a very strong League of our very different game.

    I see the World Cup in Australia(Sydney), as a threat to that.

    Well done Hammers....4 nil v. Manchester U. in he Carling Cup!!!

    The EPL Football i do really like, attacking. But the European Brand of Soccer is just dull most of the time as it all hinges on defence.

    I do enjoy the WC for that one month, but i do not want it in my backyard-i see no gain & nobody will be able to hail a cab for weeks. Stuff that!!

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
