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

so good as a Victory supporter to see Sydney and Heart at the bottom of the table

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

[H_T 3,049]

City, Real Madrid or Barcelona.

That's unbelievable !

Rooney signs 5yr deal with Msn U

did not see that happening!

[WonnaJurah 5]

Good to see The Victory still has the Wood over Adelaide,

[Jumping Jack Clennett 1,820]

The poor Old Hammers. Stayed with Arsenal till the 87th min. Dammit!

They remind me of Melbourne so much!

[WonnaJurah 5]

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

Didnt see it but that is a painful loss. Coulda gone top of the ladder too! This is looking like a ripper season. Chelsea have a serious case of the death wobbles ATM

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!!

"el clasico" on at 7.55am tomorrow morning .

Real Madrid vs Barcelona . Arguably the 2 best soccer teams in the world and interestingly , both teams are owned by their fans .

[H_T 3,049]

Man U out of champions league. Focus will be on the title now.

[Sir Why You Little 37,239]

RVP what a legend. Gunners back from the dead.

[Whispering_Jack 30,926]

Strange game this soccer. Newcastle Jets players score all three goals of their match against Melbourne Victory and they lose 1-2.

[Whispering_Jack 30,926]

Clive Palmer,

Is this drop kick doing a good job fcuking up the sport (if not the English language) in Australia?
