1 word, Cristiano. :lol:

Referee: Matthew Breeze <--- damn it!

With Breeze in a blue shirt AGAIN I wonder whose career Muscat will try to end, Leckie? Montorosso? Dodd?............??

That is what I am afraid of BU. Hoping he fucks both teams over equally.

Well said General.

Thats the best we can hope for - unless Breeze wants to pay us back for last years shocking grand final....:lol:

We are going to get butt-plugged on Saturday night.

Have you bought the ACL tickets yet lads?

Not yet still waiting for my pamphlet which i rang the club about a week ago till then i will boycott buying the tickets due to there crap admin support

I bought my tix @ members day - but then again I'm an ol' fart that prefers the Western G/stand with seats on the half-way line.
I actually prefer the old days when Venuetix just gave you the same seat you'd had ALL season - none of this first in, best dressed stuff.

Can United still get players for the ACL...or has that ship sailed?
A couple of strikers who can actually hit the net would be nice!!

So went to adelaide oval for the cricket last night we lost to the vics yet again. as i was leaving the ground watching the hundreds of drunks getting kicked out fights everywhere streakers i was wondering will i be seeing this on the sunday news maybe a headline in the newspaper hooligans ruin cricket maybe of course not. it pissed me off i have been to every adelaide game with my girlfriend and mates kids and never felt uncomfortable last night i was as i was leaving young guy walked up and got in my girlfriends face spilt beer on her so i walked up and told him to fuck off two cops came up and told him to move on two seconds later we were jumped in the parklands by the same drunk idiot and they say soccer has hooligans

I cant stand Aust cricket and that is one of the reasons :evil:
They constantly do racist chants for Aust games (show us your visas) to Pakistan and Indian fans.
Yet they are percieved as a bunch of larikens having some fun.
FOAD Cricket with your racist, yobbish behaviour that should have left back in the last century when them views were tollerated.

There's a good ol' socialogical reason, however, as its not written down and is really an unpublished theory, ( my theory ) I will not bore everyone here with it, as it's veering away from football talk.
Suffice it to say, I feel there is racism present in our Anglophile society but the media will ALWAYS deny it.

On the news today they even managed to turn a story of misbehaving fans at the cricket into "it's soccers fault "
It pissess me off, royaly, but you've just gotta suck things like that up otherwise it'd be way too easy to get on the train stopping at station paranoia.

Anyways back to Adelaide United. With Owusu trialling in China and unavailable for the Nix trip, will we finally see Montorosso?

I thought owusu was just comming good. He said it himself that he didnt get a pre season and got chucked into the team before he was ready. i think if the chinese team doesnt pickl him up we should stick by him take him in the dressing room and say we want you here show us what you and we know you can do he will be good against those small chinese defenders. and i thought when christiano came on against melbourne there were glimses of what they could do together

I like Owusu, but I just don't think too much of his foot skills. We need a more complete striker, rather that an unbalanced one like Owusu.

Owusu's been selected in ACL squad, Cristiano & Alamao have not.
AU have a squad of 25, they can add to it by 5 before Feb 16.

Maybe Aloisi to come home? - just wishful thinking on my part. There is no doubt we need strong strikers, and then maybe Viddie will play Flores in his correct posn.

Edited by redcup: 26/1/2010 02:39:48 PM

Yes, get Aloisi over here. He doesnt belong in Sydney. I think he would enjoy coming back to his hometown and proving everyone that he can infact still play football.
