Just found news saying that the Chelsea manager was sacked last night (our time), due to the humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of Juventus.

 

[lmach]

Di Matteo had it coming. Thank you, Juve.

They've already appointed Rafael Benitez as interim manager.

Bloody Schalke

The channel 9 commentary of the cricket is so biased.

 

[Stromageddon]

Channel 9 provide the worst commentary ever. While they are all idiots, the only saving grace is Tubby.

Although they go off track a bit more than I would like as well as Healy loving his product placement, I find them much easier to listen to than their English counterparts. Whenever I have listened to English commentators they seem much more stilted and kind of sound like they hate each other.

Silent Alarm I've got to know how you manage to go to University without having a job. I work a decent amount of hours every week and even then, some weeks I only have just enough money.

Trying to pick which wicket was worse. Seeing Ponting go in that fashion really surprised me. Clarke, WILL, steady the ship for the Aussies.

I get a grand a semester for relocation (Albany to Perth), and will get one next year (Perth to Melbourne). Then I got $5,000 this year through a scholarship. Then I get a bit through youth allowance and rent allowance. My parents paid half my rent. I still had a few grand sitting in my bank account as well.

What are you studying?

 

[Silent Alarm]

What are you studying?

Journalism at Curtin, will be at RMIT doing the same thing next year. Has anyone had experience with changing courses into either Swinburne or RMIT? It's looking like I'll have to start from scratch, so my year at Curtin will count for nothing...

Not the most convincing argument I've heard.

You miss the worst commentary you will ever find.
Over here we are at the mercy of whoever we can get a stream of.
Last summer it was the Indian commentators, complete with Indian ads during the ad breaks.
When you're hanging out for Brett Lee to come on and add some common sense, you know you're struggling for commentary.
You might remember we destroyed them 4-0, but in every test the Indians were unlucky, hardly done by and in some cases, just cheated out of victory.
I am so pleased to have Tubby, Heals and Bill back, even if poor old Richie sounds like he's recovering from a stroke.

 

[jethro11]

Richie, Chappelli, Bill, Griegy and Nicho are the only good ones IMO.

That's Swinburne High!! Not Swinburne Uni. Swinburne Uni is actually decent. My oldest brother goes there.

 

[Mero]

Get Darce in there as well.

Dave Warner, he's one of the best in the business, I just like the way he goes about his cricket.
A real superstar of the competition

I feel like I'm missing something here.

Now that I think about it, BT commentating cricket would be f**king awesome.

"HOW'S THAT, CLARKE STICKS THE JUKES OUT FOR AN INSIDE-OUT RIGHT HAND BLOCK! WOWEEEE!!"

Or Bruce:

"Hussey aaarrrrches his back and it goes through to the keeper. You just feel like he made the right decision to leave it, dont you?"
