Bitter but optimistic

Good Lord dc - that's very presumptuous of you!

It would achieve high ratings!

Correct Jaded, I expect they will come out hard. They may well hang around until half time .... but after that ....

Deisal / Weasel - that's [censored] funny !

A few posters have expressed doubts and concerns about the game against Norf. I don't get it! We will [censored] on Norf from a great height!

That's a very creative solution dc ! I'm just not sure about how to approach @WalkingCivilWar in regard to coming out to The Manor to measure me up.

Sadly not the most practical appendages during a Romsey winter dc .

I'm waiting to hear @Redleg acknowledge my outstanding football judgement for correctly predicting that Max would back up against Norf. The above mentioned dared to suggest that I had been overindulging in the fruits of the vine. That, of course, is not in itself offensive...... but ...... to suggest that chateau cardboard was my intoxicant of choice is extremely rude!

If I remember correctly back the late 70's, the late Allen Aylett envisioned a LA based team .

Well I expect a comfortable win. If we can't beat Norf by 40 plus we are kidding ourselves . They are [censored]. Developing [censored] yes but we need to just do the job!

Thanks... again... for your work Luci. Losing is not an option

@Lucifers Hero could you explain the above to me please? (haven't had my am shiraz kickstart) I hold a Trident reserved seat - does that barcode stuff apply to me?

Not so WCW ..... surely as a proofreader .... accuracy is paramount.

Get with the times WCW. It's the [censored] King's English.

[censored] oath Luci ! I'm with you !

My god ..... what a shallow and thoughtless post. You can spout about the morality of war, the legality of war, the righteousness of war all you like. The Anzac Day services, memorials or events aren't about that. They are about recognising ordinary Australians who did extraordinary things and suffered extraordinary hardships in service of their country. It is about honouring plumbers, nurses, schoolteachers, farmers, carpenters etc who did what they had to do ...and more. And having 85000 people recognise this and be reminded of this can only be a good thing. Your comment about a "disguised recruitment drive" is distasteful and disrespectful. I will say no more on the matter.

FMD! I am officially denoting you as a lost cause in the service of Aussie slang WCW.

WHAT !!!!!!!! We are recognising and honouring men and women who fought, were wounded , were captured , and oh ...gave their lives in the service of their country. "over the top " - [censored] off !!

FFS WCW will you stop using that dreadful American import "word"! It looks ugly and sounds uglier - although I doubt I could utter it without vomitting. I don't think I've even heard the maniacal "serpent catchers" on that fascinating Fox programme about "Swamp people" use it. The insidious undermining of Aussie English by septic tank slang is driving me bonkers. I'm about to spit the [censored] dummy.

As I said Dub - "at the moment" - there are no April premierships.

Hate to say it but they are miles in front of anyone - at the moment.

Didn't last long.

The [censored] has dropped out of that option.

Less so now. Geez that Johnson can kick. He does that regularly!

I've had a good bit of Essendrug at $2.57 .... I'm happy.
