The forcible touching charge has been dropped.

 

That might save him from being deregistered by the AFL Rip.

Not sure what Collingwood will do though.

 

To think that they got rid of Treloar and kept this bloke is staggering.

He still has an assault charge pending.

I think the AFL and Collingwood could forgive an assault charge (if found guilty).

Not sure about a sexual assault charge.

Well De goey is stuffed. Won't play another game 

Unlikely there exulted one....half the nation would be falling all over them selves to @ get him, lucky the Demons dont need another mid forward just yet, anyway the fella would have been read the riot act by Pies management and his manager and accountant would have been on the phone as well....if the charges stick his contact worth goes down the tube, so he goes out and gets the Galbally of New York, the guy that handles all the suspect cases like Mafia and Mexican drug lords....he will be right mate, then shipped off to North end of next season.....or the Saints....they love rejects too....

 

Brander is out of Perth.....leaving on a jet plane and wont be back again oh no......looks good when your winning looks suspect when your not....refused to play him in his position shifted around like a seaman plugin holes in a submerged submarine.....decided to get out before it filled up with water....

 

Not enjoying the NFL to much this season men.....only the Bills are chugging along looking like there the real deal for Jan and Feb, Browns and Broncos looking sick, Patriots are just keeping heads above water....and Washington....well there looking as sick as the Browns and Broncos.....like there all the teams i like and watch.....Kansas City and Mahomes have gone down the gurgler like they were expected to really fire this season and boy there looking as sick as the Browns....

 

Over in pommy land, i been watching with interest the Newcastle United take over and sacking of Bruce and the imminent appointment of a new coach, well talk about a press thats like an African vulture....the amount of garbage written just on one team is incredible, i had to tune out it was getting to me.....the roller coaster of managers getting the chop has already started, i dont think any of them are in the job long enough to get on first name basis with anyone at the club you know....the NFL mostly fire there coaches within hours of the season finishing....like blood on the gates as your kicked out after the last home and away....

 

Well men.....warning here....dont read news paper apps on a tablet, in particular an iPad.....talk about a vampire sucking the life out of you....after much bla bla bla with phone support and in person.....seems its the apps.....new iPad air well 10 months old have to charge by the latest on the 4th day which would be after my morning read thats if you can Finnish your morning read.....anyway i had 2000$ worth of 20$ bills in my pocket to buy a new iPhone when i went in determined to get something done about the iPad, walking around the table looking at the 4 colours of pro phones layed out in range from the max down to the mini with the words of the store manager ringing in my ears saying dont call me Thai when i said this is like Thailand here, (meaning they follow whats written in a book and cant deviate from it) (and she was asian too) like she kept saying over and over its how i use it when i kept telling her the this my third iPad i use it the same and i never experience such poor battery life before.....what to do? anyway there out of stock of phones so are JB, they want you to order online.....so what do i do with the 2000/100 20$ bills? no i will wait....i want to see there faces when i had over the stash....

[DrJack54]

Two words Ben Stokes.

Just in case you have forgotten. ..google Ben Stokes CTV 

Absolute thug and yes missed the ashes at the time.

I'm no fan of De Goey... fact is only charge left is assault based. Not convicted at this point.

I would of thought Richmond,they have their own after school detension centre there.????

[AlexRRR]

Dani is back in the news and the boys in blue haven't learned a thing, you would have thought that the respect they got during the lockdown and anti vax protests would have kept them on the straight an narrow, seems not, Vic police took a snap shot of Dani at the racers and circulated it around the brother hood with captions attached, "she" said she was disappointed in the behaviour, out with her girl friend gave permission for the press to photograph her.....but was on the side sporting an off the shoulder black top nice toned arms i might add and no face shown....The Vic Police are looking into the matter and you can expect some heads to roll.....again....meanwhile the Saints are looking for an experience senior assistant coach, Dani has some solid experience at North and Eagles so there you go......

 

Well i can say without doubt that the iPad is still draining like a sink full off water, switching to web pages instead of apps cut back on the sites i read and woosh....still pooooooo....but how to tell them there "wrong"?

 

Well in a stroke of good luck last week and on the off chance popped into a mall and not only picked up a light blue iPhone 256 gig max pro and boy is it a cool brick.....as heavy as, the dacks certainly do a sky dive on one side worse in shorts, but i love the big screen....no more squinting....the iridescent light blue is cool too....finally got away from white or silver though last phone was black....Jb wanted to flog me an iPhone cover case for 60$ bless there little hearts......i picked up 3 silicon in blue grey and burgundy from AliExpress for the sum total of 12$ prior....ho its fast too.......And the AFL shop was near by and managed to get a Demon premiership t-shirt for 35$ in sexy grey think the club are selling them for 40 plus 10 delivery......was a good day shopping....

 

Newcastle United finally appoint a new coach/manager, Eddie Howe, only decent guy left actually, the 5 in front of him all kindly turned them down, well Eddie was expected to go to Scotland and take over Celtic, but he turned them down.....like who turns down Celtic? well it seems Celtic are a basket case at the moment so they went to japan and got Ange P,  ex socceroo coach, like he wasnt going to turn them down....and good old Ange has Celtic in 2cd and hot on the tail of Rangers in the 2 team town....so go Ange, Anyway poor Eddie has a horror December coming up, faces the top 6 something like that will need to pick up some points with whats left of November if there hopping to get some half decent players in the January transfer window.....Newcastle would have the most money in all of football former owner Mike Ashley despised as he was for not spending much on transfers and making the club stay solvent actually left United in a very health position, with Fair Play rules that govern how much a club can spend on transfers etc Newcastle can splash the cash like no other.....and i mean like no other, they can out do PSG and Man City combined....

 

Controversy out of the Browns this last week.....Odell Beckum Jr got cut...OBJ to the world was waived in other words cut, delisted got rid off.....was the best wide receiver when he arrived 2.5 ys ago leaves with tail between his legs, claims by pop OBJ that Baker Mayfield dont throw the ball to his son was somewhat over blown.....yes i watch all Browns games and yeah Baker dont throw him the ball much but it might have something to do with the fact he dont get in great positions to begin with and lets be honest here OBJ hasn't set the world on fire either since he put on a brown top...drops the ball a lot.....well Baker and co came out and cleaned up this week....pumping the Bengals who have been looking good this year....OBJ was taking up space men, oxygen thief......leaves with 8 million big ones to be paid this season, if he gets through the waiver period he can double dip in salary assuming another team can afford him....OBJ came out and said he wants to go to Green Bay ummm....there a very conservative managed team.....would surprise me if he landed there......

 

Its back to gloomy weather here in the Corvid state......just when we are free to get out and about it becomes your typical Melbourne  all over the place weather.....

[AlexRRR]

On a cold wet friday night in melbourne i could not pass up not sharing this rather funny vid, to think it actually happened in the Premier League.... 

 

 

[AlexRRR]

North swoop on Greenwood......tie him up for 3ys....Suns delisted the ageing back up vocalist for the Suns rock band Midfield Blues with the idea of picking him again in one of the drafts so full is there list, of course it was a ploy to <deleted> 400,000 a year....The press had a field day the other day over this making the Suns look silly when in fact its North who look silly for falling into the trap.......

 

That Blue retires over the desire not to meet AFL guide lines on getting Vaxxed.....like we have guide lines and exceptions from organisations for a reason you know....Trouble maker Tom MacDonald was quoted by pretty boy Christian Pretracca as saying "its ethically wrong to force people to get vaccinated" so now you know why Tom was on the outer previous to last transfer week, Demons are expected to be fully vaxxed like everybody else who earns a living from footy....

 

Rocking up to a cafe or restaurant here in the cultural capital of AU you need to flash your green corvid pass men....i would like to see Dani Andrews force supermarkets and all food vendors to require a corvid pass as well.....the anti vaxxed can order there supplies online through Amazon or AliExpress.....and good luck to them especially if AliExpress gets your order wrong, lot of head banging trying to get through to some Chinese vendor over in China over a wrong order....

 

Well with horror did i spy a Starbucks at Highpoint yesterday, and doing a roaring trade too, like who can drink there muck? actually ive learned after repeated attempts at trying to get a decent coffee from them.....order you cupachino in a small.....as you know the yanks like too supersize everything as  its always bigger in Texas sort of thing, i would think there coffee ratio doesn't change much between  a small and large so from a decent cup of coffee to dishwater just on the size of the jug they give you. Anyway i went "malling" yesterday to get out of the house as we had something like 7 freezing days in a row with enough rain to fill up the pacific ocean twice, boy it was frigging hot instore, had to take of my cardigan a few times, i love it when women see grey skies the over coats and ski jackets come out.....but many in tight leggings there yesterday....lot of hot ones with the shape of everything for the world to see walking up towards me talking the langue of love to my eyes....thats one thing i dont notice about Thai women unless your in walking street Pattaya....

 

Once in Hong Kong about 14 years ago dont recall now but i think the hotel i was in either no in room coffee or it was pure muck ventured forth into the unknown and entered a Starbucks while out recalling i was hanging out for a caffeine hit......at this point of my travels i had not experienced this chain as sure i been to Thailand before but normally kept to out of the way places where not enough people with money in there pockets could afford, it was an OMG moment.....i asked myself do people drink this? I even went back the next day thinking my taste buds must have been off....nope....anyway after 5 nights in HK i decided then and there i was never coming back and China was taken of my to do list....only place ive ever been and not want to go back to...well India too....but i did like India just wouldnt go back as i got lucky there and didnt get sick.....

 

Browns get pumped by the NE Patriots this weekend, Baker playing injured, both key running backs out, (there had many many injuries this year) after the first drive nothing on the ground forcing the Browns into the air, they wont make the play offs this year....meanwhile Mack Jones rookie QB is carving them up, NE getting better and an outside change to shake up that tree....

 

Gees Melbourne is a gloomy place when its cold.......we have had serious winter weather 2 weeks out from the offical start of summer....the other day we were on track for the coldest Nov day ever, hovering round 12=13 day time temperatures.....i cant wait to be in a perpetual summer, told my kids and family, im never coming back here again....

Nice work Uncle Alex.

 

Good work by Norf.

I'm sure FJ will be pleased in getting Greenwood.

The Suns should be charged for bringing the game into disrepute.

 

I don't know anything about gridiron, but watched an excellent series called: All or Nothing, a Season with the Arizona Cardinals. Was really good. I looked upp their then coach Bruce Arians and noticed he coached last years Superbowl winners. Think he's in his later sixties as well.

 

In other news, was great to see the Aussies bring home the T20 WC.

My boy MM getting MOM was great.

He's a whipping boy is our Mitch but he seems like a real good fella.

 

Until next time.

The key to Greenwoods signing is he is an inside mid Left footer.

Jason Horne-Francis is also a Left footer

All of Norfs midfield last year were Right footers so a no brainer to add Hugh as a mentor and give the midfield flexibility.

Here we come????

[Radar501]

Is that Hugh Greenwood dropping on one knee in support of The Black Lives Matter Movement?  NO!!!!!  He is just  having a quiet word with his Maker to get him through an upcoming game.

 

I sympathise with Quinton de Kock for his futile attempt not to be pressured to kneel like all the other sheeple during the recent T20 World Cup.   Of course he was branded a racist, and of course he was forced to apologise.

 

 

[Will27]

I know it's off topic gang, but if he's given the <deleted> from the team, who replaces him?

Carey or my boy Inglis?

 

 

[Radar501]

Paine may have been the best WK/batsman in the land way back during Sandpapergate when he was offered the captaincy, but a few others have romped past him since.   Now that he has fallen on his sword as skipper, I think his position in the First XI is untenable.   

 

The Pommy bowlers and the Barmy Army are less than subtle with their sledging and would give Paine hell, and that could be a major distraction to the team during the Ashes.

 

Alex Carey should have replaced him two seasons ago.   There ya go.   Back on topic.

For Fj, https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/my-old-tribe-and-my-new-dani-laidley-s-debt-to-her-north-teammates-and-the-club-s-to-her-20211118-p59a38.html a nice feel good story just before Xmas and a month before pretty much every restriction in the Demon city of Melbourne is lifted....

 

Ta ta ta ta.....not into cricket, oh no....i love it....says 10CC....but i dont love it it puts me to sleep....https://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/say-it-ain-t-so-joe-paine-scandal-such-a-shock-after-key-role-in-cultural-clean-up-20211119-p59agw.html read all about the text messages.....now i know how this went....someone gets into trouble so they bring up something else to deflect and there you go....

 

Once a long time ago i got stuck on jury duty being the 3rd time i was called in i thought id like to get  a case.....as it turned out it was a nice juice sauce case....carnal knowledge it was....oh yes...the good stuff....well what append was this young woman was out with her boy friend one evening when police pulled them over, boy friend maybe known by the boys in blue they asked to look in the boot....surprise surprise.....booty from someone else's house.....had a garage full of it at home as well.....the said young lady was looking like going down with the looser boy friend so....."my step dad screwed me" she said....to try and make herself out to be a victim .......so there you go....I really dont get it why these guys let there little head do all the thinking....

 

The jury was made of of all men 35 and younger......i got picked early so watched with a lot of interest on the process....The case hardly got going and we spent a lot of time locked up each day over 2 weeks...the gang pretty much had him convicted so it goes to show you you only have to point the finger and your done like a dinner.....might surprise you but i didnt have an opinion.....i kinda "got it" when i heard about the car boot full of stolen goods....though i watched enough of Perry Mason to know the defence had to work over time to change the  jury's mind...

 

There were some problems like they kept adjuring the case then easter came so they wasted my two and half weeks and discharged the jury....

[farmerjo]

So let me get this straight.

Paine is stepping down because of an incident before he was made captain.

And as Stokes lines up to bowl i'm thinking well he got a 2nd chance.

I think Carey deserves the nod first Will only just.

I would also back Marsh into open with Warner.

 

 Norf out of dept,well done.

[farmerjo]

Well we got our man.

Watched the draft on fox footy last night.

Not the best tv viewing going around but good to see the kids stepping up to the big time after not much footy over last two years.

Yes FJ, looking forward to seeing Horne-Francis.

Can't remember a kid getting talked up so much for a long time.

 

I think WC missed a trick in getting Chesser.

 

I really wanted Erasmus but Freo nabbed him.

Thought Matt Johnson should've been our first pick.

 

Time will tell I guess.

[AlexRRR]

 Well there you are another top 6'4 WA swingman heading to Demon city, pick 19, al la "Egg Jackson" can play back forward, back and on the ball.....Notice the family in lovely warm WA in shorts  with the sun shining outside....none off that sort of thing here men......

Our next pick was a tall as well.....with good credits.....are we going to look like the Tigers of the 60s?

 

Hard to get excited when we dont know what we got untill we got 3 ys later...but it sounds like Rooyen will play firsts sometime 2022....and if there smart they will start him on the wing....

[AlexRRR]

Well we were all asking ourselves and now we know....that silky lean Demon machine that use to mop up down back and bang it out into the clear Marty Hore a fan favourite will be training with North this summer, in the, they say hope,  unless he lost a yard  over his knee injury will be down back for the Shinboners next year.....a nice cheap pick up thats sold as a rock, only 25, nice smile, and all round nice guy.....

 

Surprise surprise that name comes up again after 2 seasons out, Natham Freeman has been invited to train with the Suns...a club that not knows where it is going....

 

Bookman smiling like a Cheshire Cat on the news that the Swans will sign Paddy McCartin to the rookie list in the preseason....Like the Demons couldnt get it happening with light fingers and dark magic....we know the Swans are good at turning dudds from mud to chocolate cake...

 

Ron B and wife get corvid, doubled jabbed but still puts them out of the never ending Premiership celebrations that haven't stopped since lockdown ended last month....something is always coming up on youtube on this....i have not bothered to get caught up with the hype as in 3 months time it starts again....the season that is....hopping the team turn up on match day 1 and not with a hangover....

Good news if it works out,if we are to be competitive someone needs to replace Walker down back.

 

Off topic - with not much sport on last week i started watching the tv series the crown.

Not sure what others think but the more i watch it the more i see Nathan Buckley playing prince Phillip.????

Well Fj Marty is no David Beckham but he can bend it....nice solid type that will add strings to a worn out broken down bow....Hope you give him more of a chance than you guys did with Tyson.....

 

As for being bored in the off season.....well.....Newcastle United with squillions to spend in the Jan transfer window assuming they can find someone willing to come on over and will need to bring bodies in as there like going down the gurgler fast.....Eddie has made them better....they score goals now but....his style also leaks them....

 

Meanwhile in the NFL its frustration season......Washington are kicking above its weight....just hanging on by a slender thread to a wild card spot....my other teams....as you know 2 conferences and like 8 divisions....Bills.....well there good but.....lost in over time to Tom Brady and the Bucks after coming back hard in the second half...there not really beating teams they will be coming up against in the playoffs....that they should be....

 

Browns...oh dear i haven't watched this weeks game yet but i think they fell over the line....wish they wouldnt flash scores etc up on the games im watching....on struggle street, Baker all banged up, shoulder not throwing one, foot and something else.....looks like he has been wrapped up something like transformer man to get him on the park...Browns need to sign him up soon.....4th year and will jump from a rookie contract to that magical starter QB contract that will be around 30 million a season....we are in the wrong business.....the press are mixed about this......anyway the alternative is Case Keenum...so id suggest to them to pay the 30 million....And take the offensive calls off the head coach hes made some shockers.....

 

Broncos......well there just like hanging around.....neither good nor bad....cant blame John Elway anymore as he has left the building....well you can he put the team together.....anyway im pretty sure Fangaio how ever you spell his name is going to be one of them NFL coaches beheaded 15 min after the final whistle of the season....blood on the gates as you leave the stadium.....

 

Patriots......well theres a sneaky feeling there going to go deep into the play offs, Mac Jones QB extrodinare falling to pick 15 in the draft like no one could believe, expect to go by pic 3 everyones fuming....as the Pats are the Tigers Eagles and Hawks combined of there modern era....only threw 3 times against the Bills 2 weeks ago and won easy......

 

Squid game......6.7/10....dont bother watching series 2 men....

 

Netflix....recomend the movie "The Forgotten Battle" strongly recommend "The Siege of Jadotville" nice slant to this one.....Irish UN peacekeepers  true account on duty in Africa...

 

District 9.....off beat Sth African sifi.....Cyfer something like that, will need to search the net for that one....very very good si fi in the modern era... and Anon......another nice sifi i strongly recommend.....

[AlexRRR]

Get your pennies counted Fj..... unfortunately its American made so you know reliability is an issue..... https://edition.cnn.com/2021/12/13/business/rivian-r1t-motortrend-truck-of-the-year/index.html Rivian R1T, right out of that Fahrenheit 451 movie.....its got a lot of things i like.....dont know about the headlights of course.....ho by the way it looks like there is a remake of that movie....see the original....reminds me not only of that truck but of East Germany 1960.....and Julie Christie is in it.....i recall her.....dont you worry about that....i have a thing for blondes....all my life....and asians....

 

Well i had a squig at the new 2022 Mazda B-50 on youtube last night....will check it out when i land there and you know has all Isuzu running gear and tech, bit more flash in the cabin area, looking up the specks on Zigwheels Thailand notice no cruise control....and thats top of range model....ummm must be a print error surely.... 

 

Since we are not far off the move now men.....popped into a local Isuzu dealer here and checked out the D-Max....my god its a monster, its long.....going to be a worry parking that....in BKK.....nice and high....good view for perving on women in there cars at the lights.....was a nice add on bonus back when i had the Hilux 4X4 twin cab, which would still be my preferred set of wheels if they had the tech....i will check them out too.....

 

Well decided to bite the bullet and rid myself of stuff....so both laptops are going, yes that gamer is going....and my 13" macbook pro which was the top spec laptop from Apple in 2017....going.....but there is a silver lining in all of this....the new MacBook Pro M1 16" is a pure monster, you can build your 14" to the same specks but decided on the bigger laptop so i wont need to buy a monitor.....we are shedding.....like a snake....shedding....of course it costs as much as a house, cant believe the price....but it will run my game.....thats the price you pay to have something to do.....actually my 13' runs the game too, just, but i had to cut leagues to get it to be acceptable, its not really on, anyway the M1 chip is like 5 bulldozers all in one....FM needs a lot of processing power and the new MacBook top speck has it and more, it will fly you to the moon as well.....

 

Started the process of getting rid of clothes.....a boot load went to the salvos monday....gee its hard....like you start with what dont fit or you dont like anymore....of course i have a lot of clothes, well i am single, use to go out a lot and never got out of the habit of shopping....My daughter is just waiting like a vulture to get at a couple of draws.....she knows i have good taste.....there are some expensive Hugo Boss t-shirts in there....she has 2 boys....i cry now to think  how much i spent on them t-shirts.....i do recall one black one cost me 120$ a long time ago worn maybe 3 times...and its just your normal everyday style....but it feels like your walking on air.....and the cut....elevates you to star quality except im about 10kgs heavier now....so you know.....grand sons are getting them...them kids who only know Xbox wouldnt give a rats about how it feels....

 

My life in 3 suite cases.....how does it feel? well it dont feel good as Jetstar cap you at 2 suite cases, so im going to have to look for another airline, but to think....everything you own is in 3 suite cases and carry on.....The pain the pain of it all.....My mum once said to me, she thought i was unsettled you know, actually the whole family think im unsettled, well i really dont have to many attachments any more i can tear myself away froms material things, must be learning all about Buddhism men, i can walk away form things easy, once divorced renovated a Californian Bungalow....was a lovely place but they couldnt get it into there heads i needed a new adventure and moved out to the sticks and build a new place....and they couldnt see i was over cleaning and wanted to downsize and do a reno all over again...not too mention living overseas for a year.....yeah maybe i do look unsettled.....but im not....hahaha...

Pie defender Maynard signs a new deal now off FAgency books....sorry Fj...

 

Still haven't watched the Browns game but Baker and co knocked off the original Browns now known as the Ravens when QB Jackson was injured and taken off...thats a story in itself...for those who dont know Football clubs in the USA are like hookers.....they go to a city that offers them more...so the then Browns were packing up to go to Baltimore when an almighty up roar along the lines of what the big 6 tried to do in Europe over the Superleague last year....guns and cannons came out all sorts of things....in the end the owner still moved the team but the name and colours were put into tempory retirement, now the original Browns had been one of the main stays and successful teams early even the Ravens have won at least one Super Bowl..... the Mark 2 Browns have been pretty much a basket case there entire existence bit like North....but North been better....they had Ron for a while...and Dennis...

 

Washington ex Redskins should announce a new name next season and its looking like Washington Warriors or Red Wolves, gees its bullocks isnt it? Moreland City council here in Melbourne will be changing there name soon, its voted and passed, all because it has something to do with a former Jamaican salve owner...can you believe? Something along the lines and it could be around the time slavery was abolished a lot of them slave owners and a few traders made there way to the big AU to make money and of course the local natives of Moreland have bought in on it, mind you i use to live a stone throw from Moreland in Coburg and i never saw any natives there ever....hang around Gertrude street on the border of Collingwood and Fitzroy and you see that some natives never left....the old Victorian building that housed the STD clinic is right smack bang in the middle of native territory anyway the Moreland natives came out in the press with that old worn out line about getting ripped off....as the bloke who was involved in the Moreland slave farm in Jamaica bought the land from the locals but like when Cook and co arrived at Botany Bay and bought some land off the then natives, they claimed to have gotten ripped off too....gees them trinkets were worth a lot to people warped up in Roo skins with spears...like they would never have invented a factory to roll out guns an ammo you know....it pisses me off you know.... like if you look at the rest of the world you dont see the Italians bitterly complain about the German and Frank barbarians invading and pinching there land etc... there isnt a land in the white world that hasn't been invaded and taken....and we dont carry on like pork chops....herd them up and make a nation in central AU for them and leave them to there own devices and you will quickly see how they end up....Anyway i got to watch the Redskins play the Cowboys.....Cowboy coach came out in the press during the week stating they would win the game and easy....well it was going to script.....something like 27-3 at half time.....then eggs were being prepared on the side line for the Cowboy coach...when Washington are bad there bad....but they do have one of the best defences around and a bit of a stuttering forward line....and the latest sensation in QB Heineken not the beer......well hes well loved and strong work ethics and been 3 pic QB at now his 3rd club...so hes been a running joke for along time....well he started in a play off game last year against Tom Brady who by the way won the super Bowel last year and ran Tom right to the end of the game, Bucks looked like they escaped the noose...Coach Rivera not totally sold on Hinken, brought in a season veteran starter who went down for the season early on 2dc string QB quickly followed so Beer Boy was the man.....and has never looked back....even beat Tom Brady and the Bucks recently......come back strongly they did but pretty much faltered in the dieing moments of the game.....one thing with gridiron ive noticed is teams do make adjustments at half time and often they come back and hard, its a very technical game.

 

Few weeks out from the January transfer window Newcastle United rumours strengthening like the Toon army might have hated Mike Ashly the former owner but he left them in the green zone....that means they can blow the entire Premier League away for transfer spending not just this window but the next as well....sitting 19th and like a dead duck Tipperer something like that and England Full Back is said to be in the bag, Atletico Madrid will sell him.....of course the press has linked everyone even Paul Pogo stick to the Magpies but the reality is they have an eye out for the best player in the French league at the moment with his club ready to sell, AC Milan are keen but cant afford him....the Magpies can....

 

Melbourne Victory with half of Perth Glory in there team now sit 2cd with 3-0-1 record.....Tony Popovic there coach has said nothing about his Greek adventure....for you guys marooned in Thailand Tony left Perth to take up a position with a second division club in Greece brought by a Greek Aussie business man who was flying high and making tons of noises.....associated with one of the bigger non Aleague teams in Sydney claimed that he was going to use it as a stepping stone for Aussie players to Europe and the national team....only trouble was this business mans entire empire was built on a pile of playing cards....up to no good embezzling clients money and stuff like that, like i'd like to know how long he thought he could pull this off for before being caught out....obviously a Trump devotee in poo talk like if you say it long enough and louder than everyone else it becomes the truth...then reality then i get to keep the money too......Billy Papas is hiding out somewhere in Greece still....the Australian Federal police are still looking for him....

[AlexRRR]

You know......its just not fair......50 odd years of NOTHING.....i didnt get to enjoy a couple of years of you know being contenders....win the flag in a season from nowhere....now have to stress all year long to see if we can at least get up again......oh me ho my.....all the enjoyment pulled from under me......

 

So what to do?...... well the AU pub in soi 11 is going to be a home at least for next season.....a number of ummm trim ready to play waitress  ready to go ..... i noticed for other times.....that D max wont be going downtown i can assure you....

I like watching the big guy in this internet football show, a Newcastle united supporter...... 

Going down the gurgler fast....so it seems....can the Toons pick up enough players in the January transfer window to save there bacon.....have a listen to his description of his team......reminds me of the the Demons before this year.....

 

Once in a BKK sports store about 10 years ago i came across an English guy looking for some NU gear. we had a brief chat, he said being a Newcastle United supporter was pure suffering......i could relate to that......

 

Well poor Eddie Howe takes over with games against the top 4 clubs late in december so you know the story.....embarrassing....
