Oh and by the way...

Merry Christmas (or holidays) to all my fellow United supporters...

Get on it lads!

Also, there are a few reports around that we are trying to get Joel Griffiths for the rest of the season.

Regular readers would realise that you're a diehard Monte supporter.
I enjoy watching him in the NYL and his presence v the ' Nix last year ALMOST resulted in him scoring.
However, this year the HAL competition has gone up a notch and fast young men can cut it because of their speed. He hasn't got the speed and although he is a good goal poacher, he just can't handle the extra physicality with the big boys.

On another note shipping 6 goals in two games, It's obvious everyones assumptions of a weak defence is well founded.
I'm remaining positive, I think with Pablo, Slory & Boogard's improvemnt (injury wise ), or even a new signing we'll be back to where were ( style wise ) at the beginnig of the season.

Brisbane losing Langerack will be a big loss, but that ship has already sailed. It's Gold Coast who I'm most worried about!
Unless they recruit the Mariners may struggle, but they ALWAYS fly under the radar and I like them, while losing our place to GC would be close to intolerable

:shock:

FIRE UP FARKIN!

Everyone better head down to the Elephant Pub at 5:30 for the Red Army march down to Adelaide Oval next Wednesday!!

http://www.wearethereds.com.au/home/news/news-adelaide-united/a-call-to-arms.html

Everyone should make the effort to be at the march. Will be an awesome advertisement for United.

I'll try and get out of work an hour early so I can attend the march. Depends if I have anyone else to cover the last hour of work for me though.

Yeah I've already got the afternoon off next Wednesday, hopefully we can get big numbers and make some noise!

My bad. I thought he was in Asian cup squad :roll:

Doesn't he play in Germany these days? Are you talking about Theo? :lol:

I managed to get some time off for Wednesday arvo for the Red Army march. Have been granted to leave work an hour earlier. :D

Yeah OK, I'd be happy with a spot in the top 6 after our latest form. :(

First the Aussie Cricket team now the Reds....could it get any worse :(

We are offically in trouble

Shades of last season return.

Of course I am and it was all an elaborate plot to confuse everyone.
Mea culpa I'm sorry another mistake to add to my long list!
( How about the long bow of an ex Victory stopper as a poor excuse? )

Fire up for Wednesday, everyone!! Only way to go now is forward!

WE NEED TO WIN!!!!

Saw on Seven News that Slory is now training with the boys. Good news.

Also saw on Facebook that Usucar is starting to fit in here with the help of Flores.

Oh and Flores' sister is in town... in case anyone was wondering... ;)

All I'm wondering is when are Pablo & Slory going to get out there!
Just like you I'm worried about United's lack of ability to put the ball in the net.
Keenan and Cornthwaite showed their " boot it high and long " defender philosophy when 6 - 7 metres out, and 3 months ago everyone would have expected Ramsey to bury his chances.
A fast finisher to run off Sergio's knockdowns is what I'm waiting for!

Oh and a hard man ( like Pablo seems to be ) to throttle Muscat and go in studs up on Archie and get NOTHING just so the Victory get a little taste of what they've been doing for years.

Haha... it's actually 'Pancho' not 'Pablo'. :p

Hey guys according to Metro you are Adelaide Heart...

Fuck me, do these people actually know what they're doing? Absolutely ridiculous :lol:

Shall be heading down to Hindmarsh for the NYL game later today. Hopefully we start to get some points on the board...

Damn it RU, I just went back through the pages of AF to find this thread and couldn't because its on the first page :lol:

On another note, the new Stratco ad is awesome.

:lol: at Cassio smiling, can't keep a straight face.

LOL. The link to this thread is in my signature, via the new owners banner. That way it'll never get lost.

Ah Cassio, what a bloke!

Conflicting info - the clubs website says home; club E-mail I got says @ Newcastle???

That commercial will win awards if is aired during prime time

Hmmm yeah, that's odd... I don't know whether to turn up or not now...

Any news today on Estrada? Coolen said earlier he'd have a definite answer by the end of the week.

He missed out on a place in the final 21 for the CRNT for the UNCAF tournament named on Thursday which would have been one of the hurdles we had to jump through but in an interview I saw yesterday with CR media he certainly wasn't very excited by the thought of coming here. Stated he wanted to play in a better league and would be waiting for better clubs to make him an offer. Basically, we're his back-up/last resort. Wasn't really the attitude I wanted to hear.

Not sure whether I really care either way tbh. He's very small, maybe too small for the A-L. Cassio is small but has legs are like tree trunks and he's strong. Estrada's just plain small.

Off course, Coolen just may be a better judge than I. :lol:

Interesting to hear that Estrada looks small...I've not seen a picture of him. Victory's Costa Rican forward Angulo didn't look like he was physically coping with the A League when he first arrived in Melbourne, but he is playing much better now.

Feel free to use my new signature :cool:
