The on topic thread

[jod23]

jod23 people get annoyed at your comments because you're judging it without actually watching it properly.

It would be like saying you don't like a food you've never tried.

Ive seen enough to know that I give zero ****s about it. Ive said it a million times, you cant manufacture a connection with a club. So it's just nothing for me. You guys enjoy it though, if you like that sorta thing.

united currently level with essendon on goals.

 

[Cruyff14]

Who said anything about manufacturing a connection? Do you watch games that aren't Liverpool?

You don't need to be so condescending about it either, pal.

 

[Magma]

oops nope essendon kick another red hot from them.

I once had your attitude but thankfully I was convinced to go to a Melb Victory game and haven't looked back since. I have the attitude that I'll give anything a go though.

 

[Cruyff14]

WOW.

 

[Zidane98]

Get in Wanderers !!

 

[lozstar]

that was a good goal

I dont watch much A League but are the pitches usually this shit?

Sometimes.

Being on the Adelaide Oval probably hasn't helped.

When there is rugby and AFL yes but during the summer not really

They're usually pretty good. Footy yesterday doesn't help unfortunately.

 

[Sozabarus]

Up the reds!

 

[Magma]

westies and adelaide united. 2 droughts in 2 years broken.

Compare the A-League gf from season 1 to now and you see how far the game has improved

 

[typeclub]

Take this shit to the A-league board, I don't wanna get spoiled while reading the Euro stuff.

 

[Zidane98]

Wonder if anyone chucked on a Adelaide / Leicester double at the end if November? Would have been about 20000/1 combined odds.

 

[Pykie]

Yep. Eurosnob is such a wanky insult too.

Not really.

Its reserved for the type of people that think there above all forms of Australian football. Not just the A-League.

The kind of person that takes more interest in the happenings of the English national side than that of their home country.

I don't love the A-League, I don't even support a side, but I love Australian football and understand its importance in that framework.

Hillsbrough 30 for 30 doco on if anyone interested on ESPN.

Lucas Neill bankrupt in UK after earning 40m over his 15 year career.

How?

Seriously. That's just nuts. You never need to work a day of your life after retirement if you earn that much and use it not even wisely just normally!

Who knows. Must've blown shitloads of cash on stupid shit. I remember Riise going bust because of some bad investments.

I remember having the discussion a while back about how footballers need to maximise earnings because they're a long time in retirement and a fair few go bankrupt. No idea how it happens.

They don't have to be retired once their careers are over. The non dead beat ones have many doors open for them easier than your average Joe bloggs

 

[Zidane98]

Surely Lucas Neill can make decent money coaching kids and/or as a pundit on fox sports.
