We'll see what happens.

Our current start to the season has been quite poor and we need to improve on all fronts if we are going to be in for a shout of Europe again next season. Similarly, our board is known for doing nonsensical things so I wouldn't be surprised to be honest.

How about QPR? Awful as predicted.

Re: The Official Football Thread

Diving is the most sensationalized thing in world football..

racism adn goal-line technology are the two single biggest threats to the game, however this gets the headlines...

imo if you are willing to risk a yellow or red card to win a freekick/penalty and give YOUR side a better chance of winning, than the dive is worth it.. this is the reason guys like Luis Suarez, Gareth Bale and Besart Berisha (to a lesser extent) will be champions and the perceived "good guys" in the game will never win trophies

It's very difficult to argue that it's sensationalised if so many players are willing to bend the laws of the game willingly to gain an unjustified advantage.

Besides, divers deserve the "cunt" label they pick up. I hate looking at Luis Suarez's face. He's a prick of the highest order.

Each to their own

Geordies had a bit of a night to forget against the Rags last night. Defense for the first two goals was absolutely shambolic at best

It was pathetic. We haven't gotten out of second gear this season. We've been abysmal bar the Bordeaux game.

Re: The Official A-League Thread.

the atmosphere at the wanderers game was unbelievable. i have never seen a club with such passionate fans. bring on the derby in 2 weeks time. i unfortunately will not be attending that one despite having the season pass since mathematics is 2 days after the game and then extension a couple days later

Can't say I begrudge you guys.

I hope Everton beat out Liverpool for seasons to come.

Speaking of high-flyers, West Brom and Steve Clarke have certainly been doing well.

Does the Season Pass include away games?

Oh, you went? Shame it was a bit rainy at times. But I got there just before kick-off, and it was pretty awesome.

The atmosphere I agree, was fantastic. Like really fantastic. You could always hear the RBB, and when you couldn't, you could hear the Yellow Army (?) and then of course when everyone boo-ed the referee... ohhh so good

No

Re: The Official A-League Thread.

yeah, the rbb though they only take up one bay, are possibly the loudest in the a-league. it was dissapointing that the rain came bucketing down during the last 10 minutes and we were not prepared for it.

Re: The Official A-League Thread.

Rain bucketed in the middle of the match though. It wasn't bucketing in the last ten minutes...
