Lol thanks mate

 

[Silent Alarm]

Yeah i'm doing my final exams

Weird. You're doing VCE's, I suppose? Odd how you're doing English the same as everyone else. Yet, you do History in a different week entirely. Hrm. I'll give you some tips, mate.

Learn about some Italian conference in the 20's or 30's... or something to do with Italy and the actions of the English and their allied cohort.

Last night I chose a random number between 1 & 24 and put a $10 bet on, so #19 Saptapadi it was. Little did I know, it is the absolute rank outsider - paying $140 for the win!

Ah well... at least I have something to barrack for

With daylight savings I'm pretty sure it's 1pm in Perth.

 

[Gibbsy]

Actually Perth's 3 hours behind now. So noon, Perth time.

If you read the last bit I said in Australia, which is true. The A-League has no money compared to the AFL, hence having pretty average players compared to the rest of the world. I've just done an assignment on this actually, the AFL draws 5 or 6 times more people in a year than the A-League therefore being inferior. Regardless of all this, I view soccer as a shit and boring sport which is my opinion. No-one will ever change this.

I've always had aspirations to move elsewhere and live in different places. I just don't see myself living in the same place my whole life. Whether I do or not is a completely different story. Regardless of how much I love or hate the vics, Melbourne is the heart of football. Being involved in football there would be unlike working in the industry anywhere else. Working at the MCG every week > working at a half-full AAMI stadium every week. I've got to be realistic and say that if I ever get to the stage of working at an AFL club, Port may not even be around anyway. When it comes to employment you've gotta look at the opportunities, experiences and money available before anything else mate. Melbourne beats anywhere else when it comes to these factors

I love football (soccer)

Ah, that's right. Got it the wrong way round

 

[HARPSichord]

a draw

Holy shit. Are you almost a fully fledged psychic? You were so close.

Haha I was thinking of the exact same post when it happened! Imagine if you could bet on a dead heat. The odds would be crazy.

 

[TheDoctor11]

Wow.

 

[PAFC_04]

Both look perfectly even to me, should have been a draw

Yo, dude, what?

So the English Premier League is inferior to the AFL? Because the AFL gets better attendances? And you know, the Bundesliga is thus better than the AFL because their attendances are bigger than that of Australian rules.

Your logic on this footy superiority complex is perplexing. I could understand and sympathise - hey, I might even agree - if didn't base your argument on fallace.
