  1. Awesome to hear he’s playing a part. It’s like a feel good movie!
  2. Tyson looked unlikely to me but a week could make a big difference.

    Huge deal for Mack he’s done well. How did the Raiders stuff this up? Was a franchise player and edge rushers make the difference.

    Yeah sounds right, from what I hear had great controlled passing. Glenn Hoddle, amazing player. The most non typical English player you could get, if he was French he probably would have had 200 caps. One of my good friends is a massive Sheffield Wednesday fan so I’m used to hearing a lot of hatred towards Leeds haha. I don’t mind them though!

    Actually you might be the guy to ask this question. What was Trevor Brooking like as a player and which midfielder of recent times did he most resemble? I've tried to ask around but haven't got an in depth answer yet. Would you go back quite as far as Bobby Moore and Hurst? Leeds is definitely a sad story. I love watching docos or reading stuff about the Don Revie Leeds sides of the 60s and 70s. Bremnar, Lorimer, Gray, Charlton. Would have been an awesome side to follow at the time. Very hard to believe. Liverpool never had trouble finding the right men for the job of manager, Paisley was from the Shankly school, Fagan and Dalglish from the Paisley school right up until Roy Evans was when that lineage ended and since then we've really been in the wilderness. Not to mention other clubs have become stronger (some with mass wealth). Dynasties do come to an end eventually. Can't see City losing it to be honest, there's just too much quality in that squad. Unless more injuries like De Bruyne happen! Spurs can definitely challenge despite any big signings. Chelsea could be anything.
  6. Gee it’s great in theory but I need Collingwood out of the finals as quickly as possible.

    Nice! Plenty of respect there, always had a soft spot for the Hammers. Loved the Redknapp era and enjoyed the Alan Pardew team with Benayoun, Mullins, Gabbidon that made the FA Cup final. As you say though it is very hard to follow a club in that position. The only real hope is a dream run in a cup tournament. Definitely wouldn’t rule out a super Euro league. If it means money of course it will get looked at.
  8. He’s god’s gift to the dictionary
  9. Great photos. Looks like you had a decent camera? If that’s a phone job I’m super impressed!
  10. NFL

    Seems they are putting a few eggs into the Terence Williams basket. Also get a feeling they desperately want Tavon Austin to be their surprise packet Swiss Army knife. I don’t care much for preseason either apart from getting necessary reps. It’s funny because a girl I work with is a Texans fan and she was telling me yesterday how annoyed she was when they missed an extra point to tie and go to overtime last week. I’d rather the 1 point loss anyway in preseason.

    Well that was unexpected. Leicester pressed up and really took it to them, probably ended up the better side on the day. But you gotta grind those ones out and Liverpool did. Who’s your EPL team Macca?
  12. I found it really easy to show Oscar some respect after training today when up close to all 196cm of him.
  13. Laconic was a bad word. More happy go lucky or casual.

    Liverpool supposedly in the group of death. It’s a tough group no doubt, PSG and Ancelotti’s Napoli. Meanwhile 1-0 over Leicester currently
  15. I think he looks a lot more laconic than he actually is. After the training today he was saying how much he was looking forward to it and how he wished they were playing this week. Perception is not always reality.
  16. For what it’s worth the Box Hill v Port Melbourne game is a belter! Scores level!
  17. Big fan of Michael Barlow but this isn’t for us. Hope he gets another chance though.
  18. Sounds like J Wagner has had a bit of it.
  19. Nicely done. And speaking of which those $6 soft serves better have been good!
  20. That’s crap. I also feel like one now after reading this.
  21. So after just sitting around in silence it hit me that I could be listening to this game on Tunein. Sounds like they really split it open.
  22. Fantastic morning! This was the first training session I’ve attended since the one after the Rd 2 2013 148 point loss. Very well organised and there’s definitely a good cohesion between the coaches and playing group. Good balance of intensity cardio, basic drills and match simulation, really enjoyed watching. Thought Viney moved well and I think he’s itching to get out there. Clarry trains how he plays. JKH looks fantastic in training! Great to see everyone having a good time. The young ones love Maxy! I liked hearing a lot parents pointing him out to their kids! Plenty of food and beverage available, Infiniti were there spruiking their products. Good event all round!
