Steve

Just in from the game (the only time I can travel only 45 mins to see us play) and Shola was fucking terrible. Yet another performance where he had the look of just not giving a fuck. The only time he appears to show any effort are when he's already a mile offside and seems to be pretending he didn't notice just how far ahead of the defence he's got himself. I'd say sell him, but no one's stupid enough to buy him. Just fucking get rid of him.

I'll come up if I can get hold of a ticket. I know you're all dying to see me again.

Yeah, but you're already gay. Unless liking him makes you gayer...

I can't really either, Newcastle are my one and only team. However, I really want to see football take off here so I'm getting behind my home town club. In the past Melbourne teams have had heavy ethnic biases in terms of the players they signed and the supporters behind them. South Melbourne were previously known as South Melbourne Hellas so obviously they were heavily Greek. If you weren't Greek and at their games you stood out, I even had a group of Greek wankers tell me I didn't belong when watching games. When I would go and see the Melbourne Knights (formerly Melbourne Croatia) I'd get the same shit from the Croatians. Having a new Melbourne club that has none of the ethnic background and is there for everyone in Victorian to get behind, not just a small number. I'm really excited about the new A-League and will get behind it as much as I can. I've bought both their home and away strip and bought both a scarf and beanie just to give the club whatever support I can, I'm not going to get a chance to go to a game because they didn't play at home while I was in Melbourne.

The (poorly named) Melbourne Victory in the new A-League. The old league was disbanded and a new one set up in it's place. Most of the teams have been set up from scratch. Here is the Victory's captain, the biggest cunt in football Kevin Muscat. Three draws and a loss have them second last.

Good evening Mr Avenger.

Is this because I rejected you for being southern? 36707[/snapback]

I wanna meet mancy's member. Oh yeah.

Steve. Fuck off. You're a twat. 36695[/snapback] It's because the southern way of life has rubbed off on me, that's all.

Then why do you do it? 36692[/snapback] Because he lives in Germany and I live in Southampton. Sometimes we gotta have sex on the internet.

It doesn't though, that's the thing. On this board I have never had someone slag me off because I'm not Geordie. I have never been told that I'm "not a real fan" because I wasn't born in Newcastle. This board has those that don't give a fuck where you are from, we're all here because of the football club and that's as far as it goes. You are seeing things that aren't there because YOU have a chip on YOUR shoulder.

Gol, I feel this smiley needs to be added, if only so I could post it in every Foreskin thread:

I don't work hard at all for my money. When I'm at work most of the time I'm sitting back reading comic books because there's too many people working in the inefficient NHS. I'm not allowed to do my job like I do in Australia because it'd make too many people in my department redundant. I'm firmly what you would consider "middle class" and I do fuck all for my money.

One thing I have learned during my time in England is that people are too obsessed with what "class" they belong to. Who gives a fuck, really? And it's like you all want to belong to the class below where you actually are, like that makes you more "real" or something.

We can't all be IT dweebs. 36486[/snapback] But none of you are as class as Cath and I.

No, I think you're just a stereotypical whinging Pom. You're still going on about all of that? I think you've made your point about that on here already. "But I'm from London and my accent's different wah wah wah." Shut the fuck up.

That's debatable.

Nice place Adelaide man. 36132[/snapback] I'm going to Perth again in a few days, that's a nice place. I like the locals there especially.

Fuck! I had Cascade on the brain for some reason. But Adelaide is even worse than Tasmania.

Fuck that Tasmanian shit.

VB is terrible, along with Fosters, but the magic that is Carlton Cold, Crown Lager and Carlton Draught means that I can overlook other shitty beers. But sadly I won't be drinking anything at all in Perth. I can never drink another beer in my life and that makes me .

Is this the question you're referring to Robert? Typically it's decided on ladder position in that if you finish in the bottom half of the ladder one season, you play two games against bottom half teams the next. However, for maximum $$$, there will always be two derby games each season regardless of ladder position. There will be two Adelaide vs Port Adelaide games, two Freo vs West Coast, two Carlton vs Collingwood, two Carlton vs Essendon and two Collingwood vs Essendon. Confusing, no?

Bastid.
