  1. One of the few things we can thank Mark Neeld for
  2. Did I miss something?
  3. It is hard not to like Bob Murphy. And as a footballer, there is hardly a better kick in the comp, he rarely turns it over even under pressure.
  4. I agree with the first part but not necessarily the second. We didn't pick Toumpas due to needs or best fit, we picked him because there wasn't a single judge of young talent who had Wines in front of him, and that obviously included our recruitment staff.
  5. That was tougher than it should have been, but we are there and that is all that matters
  6. If Jack thinks he has it tough from the Melbourne fans, he would be shocked to hear what other clubs' supporters think of him. Melbourne fans stuck up for him a lot in the early years especially.
  7. My Rundown On Commentary Duds FOX FOOTY Alastair Lynch - looks like he is going to pass out everytime he tries to construct a sentence, is a complete meathead Tony Shaw - has no idea about modern day football, some of his comments I would laugh at if he wasn't serious Danny Frawley - apart from being part of the worst scripted show on television in After The Bounce, he also has little clue Dwayne Russell - this bloke has about 10 sentences in his arsenal and can somehow manage to commentate 2 hours of footy using nothing but those sentences CHANNEL 7 BT - the other guys in the box want to talk footy, but this boof head just wants to crap on like they are sitting back at the pub watching the game on tv. If you want to go down the comedy route surely there are a million people who are funnier and know more about footy than this dunce Brett Kirk - harsh on Kirky as I love him, but he just sounds far too scripted, could almost imagine him doing a Ron Burgundy off the teleprompter if someone played a joke on him...I'm Brett Kirk? Any Current Player Drafted Into Friday Night Coverage - if I flick on the footy on Friday night and am greeted by Nick Maxwell's punchable head holding a microphone one more time, I am turning it off
  8. I like it. Don't have to be stuck in the past to appreciate the tradition of the club.

    Loved the galibier stage when he realised he wasn't going to get any help chasing Andy Schleck and just took control. One by one rode them off his wheel, until only a couple could go with him. Cut 2 minutes off AS's lead and kept himself in contention.

    Bloody oath. The other years he was in contention he was nowhere near as strong as he was this year. He was the strongest this year and put in some massive efforts, especially in the alps when it looked like it might have been slipping away.
  11. Ramos is a great pick up for spurs, i believe probs one the top managers over the past few years, has achieved a lot with sevilla. But i do remember all u spurs fans getting excited about jacques santini, so we will wait and see
