Re: Santo and his Two Stooges

Re: Australia vs Korea
But AP definitely did get it wrong by failing to get a point against Korea. Such insightful analysis. You're still yet to make a point on how Ange should have done anything differently. Anyone could have looked at the result and came to the same conclusion you have they just wouldn't have take as ...

Re: Australia vs Korea
Very disappointing result - we only had to draw to come top but couldn't even manage that. Not saying "I told you so" as I want us to succeed as much as the next person, but the hype after beating lowly Kuwait and Oman was ridiculous and premature. Makes it quite a bit more difficult to win now ...

Santo and his Two Stooges
Seriously what is the deal with these stooges and their extremely unfunny "comedy" show on Fox? Not one of them is funny, has ever said anything funny, and the script (which is clearly written for the stooges) is excruciatingly gay and moronic. They all act so effeminately and I have also noticed ...

Re: Jurić’s proud message sparks unwarranted response
I am certainly not offended by it but I did wonder what people from other countries would think about it - given it is an international tournament. It is a bit odd really, a player playing for Australia displaying an obviously heartfelt message in another language. It's not like he's adopted a new ...

Re: Australia vs Oman
Whilst they both played pretty well, neither Leckie or Kruse is a winger. Being a good forward and playing in one of the wide positions in a front 3 doesn't automatically make you a winger. Neither of them seem to be aware of the requirements of wing play. Of course I am assuming that AP wants them ...

Re: Australia vs Oman
As Harvey Keitel (The Wolf) said in Pulp Fiction: " Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet " Kuwait and Oman are ordinary teams and it should be an EXPECTATION that Australia smash them. Let's start getting excited when we top the group and set up a route to a final against Japan.

Re: Asian diving championships

Barca - in crisis
It is interesting, somewhat ironic and perhaps almost karmic that Barca presently find themselves in crisis - IMO. This is the club that holds itself out as "More than a club" and claim their football is the "best kind of football". This is the club that accused teams who defended against them of ...

I cannot understand how Franjic got selected over quite a few A League players - I've never rated him. Yes I suspect AP will play Franjic at RB as he obviously loves him, but frankly I am horrified at that prospect. To his credit Franjic has played well over the last couple of HAL seasons but ...

Re: 46 Man squad named for AFC Cup
What does AP need to pick 46 players for? He has thus far "experimented" with 42 players, taking us to 107th spot in the process (because results don't matter it is all about development). I would have thought he would be completely settled on a squad by now and have no need for further ...
