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

    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!!

    Barcelona have 8 of their players put forward ! Including Messi of course .

    Interestingly La Liga has 13 players nominated , the EPL has 4 , Serie A and the Bundesliga have 2 each .

    Oh and btw if you want to watch the greatest team in the world strut their stuff , the mighty Barcelona are away to Athletic Bilboa 5.55am this Monday on ESPN (Red and Blue colours of course ) ( Ok , a splash of yellow as well ) Barcelona's games are shown live every week on ESPN - Get on board !

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
