Argentina also lost against Saudi Arabia at that world cup. Doesn't make the Saudis a good team. |

The a league is indeed poor. It was better 10 years ago than it is now.
Football is down the pecking order of sports here. They much prefer sports where 5 or less countries really care so they can pump money into development and pretend they're a global sporting powerhouse.
The media don't want football to succeed, yet participation among kids is very high and facilities very good. There is certainly potential.
Australia's path to world cup qualifying is too easy, meaning they're getting in every time and this leads to a lack of urgency to improve the a league. The media will wet itself for the week or so they're involved and then go back to putting the game down. Likewise thousands of people will attend live sites in the early hours until they realise that an actual global game is quite tough to succeed at, quietly go back to their preferred sports or to watching the premier league, serie A etc on TV..
Been here 25 years now and 2006 was by far the best national team they've produced. The potential has always been here but not sure it will ever be realised. [Post edited 29 Jan 0:32]

What, plucky little underdogs Wrexham in beating all odds fairytale?
Really pisses me off that some people I work with here in Sydney, who otherwise have little or no interest in football, are now following Disney FC thanks to the TV series.
So yes, fk them. |

Major and in some cases life threatening injuries as the glass houses occupied by those who gave us Pulis ball and Rory Delap long throws are destroyed.
Stoke fans crying about shithousing and dull football? Come on, we've all had a drink. |

The local league here is struggling so any talent would be quite cheap to pick up. And there's certainly talent out there, however the fixture schedule here is very gentle compared to somewhere like the championship! |

Even from afar the stadium seems like an ill fitting, miserable place. By the sound of that its worse than I thought. Liked Upton Park a lot too. Cramped, not a great view, but it had soul. The type of ground that is missed when its gone. We've still got one.... |

Roy Keane quoted slamming him in the BBC online commentary is ironic when the type of player you might expect to do that sort of thing is someone like, erm, Roy Keane. |

A nice bit of revenge for Fulham after the absolutely disgraceful VAR decision to disallow the perfectly good opening goal they scored at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season. [Post edited 7 Jan 23:01]

Going back to the early 80s, a young Trevor Steven playing for Burnley who I think scored twice in a game we won 3-2. |

The black Russell Martin, same refusal to budge on playing style and rambling nonsense interviews. Absolutely dreadful appointment.
Should be walking the league this year despite their weakest squad in a while but instead have tossed away a double digit lead over rangers.
O'Neill is back until the end of the season so I'd expect a quick improvement. Couldn't get any worse! |

Surely its time for a club legend to step up. Someone who knows the club inside out and it's DNA.
Sparky Hughes, you know it makes sense! |

They are extremely good at vanishing when things aren't going their way. I guess that's what happens when your entire self esteem depends on winning at sport |

Nice to see, and their rotten, bitter media can stick their 5-0 up their collective arses.
If we were going to win one, the boxing day test they all salivate over and are all off work to watch is the one. And in two days as well.
Superb English support in the ground as always. [Post edited 27 Dec 2025 7:37]

Portsmouth have also beaten the much praised Boro, so I think being aware of the potential threat they pose is probably a useful exercise. |
