Villa MUST beat Arsenal to have any hope (still must win final game as well next Monday) of staying in the PL this morning....

25mins in

Villa 1
Arsenal 0


Now Villa is much like the Bulldogs.... look ok for the first 25-30mins.... then reality/quality sets in, and you all know the rest

So I’ll be back after full time telling you that we got belted in the end 

Good luck Villi .... 

Yessssssssssssssss

Villa hold on & secure 3pts

WTF is all this bullsh!t noise about $BW coming.....  People shouldn't even joke about it.

I know Dman will be staying up late to watch West Ham v Villa ... he is a closet soccer freak :)

Not to our club I hope ... we already how someone to pick up glasses at the leagues club...

Gus still loves the dogs.

I don’t think anyone should ever knock back a chance to coach at the Bulldogs. When they get it right, they get it right. They are also one of only a few clubs that can improve significantly in just a couple of years. They just need to start acting like the Bulldogs.

Cotric 3yrs officially announced on Dogs site.

The 11am Wednesday signing news FINAlLY happened. Just wasn’t Adam Blair.

Coincidentally after we discussed it here last week voluntary tackles came up on 360 last night.  It will be interesting to see if anything comes of it.

I miss Bigbird and DarrenB

I miss dman2018 smoking his crack pipe 

Gould has nailed it with this last quote... these days the Storm and Roosters are acting more like the Bulldogs and it shows...

Scouting and developing players - is like the Bulldogs.
Being a united and happy club - is like the Bulldogs...
Work hard - play hard - is like the Bulldogs..
Looking after your mate - is like the Bulldogs..
Having high standards and knowing how to win -  is like the Bulldogs..

So where did it all go wrong?.... I think internal politics and fighting, poor management, dropping the ball on scouting and development, poor selection of coaches and forgetting how to have fun....

We can get it back, but only while there is a corporate memory of  how we do things, and what we stand for..  we know what we want  .. we want to start acting like the Bulldogs,.. Gus is spot on..

Winding back the clock with Big Bird..on second thought that is what got him in trouble..

Trent, Cotric, 11am, same same 

Trent is his nickname...

A crack pipe would at least be an excuse for sucking as hard on week old hotdogs like you do...

#justonefix...

DerwinB yes... the bvllshit artist no. 

He must be back to full health if he's mounting an insurrection 

Hearing about what Darren was eating for dinner, let alone his day in general, got me through many a night shift

"McMillions"...a 6 part HBO documentary about how McDonalds' Monopoly contest was rigged. Surely wouldn't be sustainable over 6 hour episodes!! That was initial thought but done so well with real perpetrators and people involved in the investigations.  The FBI head investigator has a crazy smart arse personality and it is pretty ingenious how it went down and how it also unravelled.   

A rort?
That makes sense.

No wonder I never won a Rav4.....

Barrett is official... now ...

In even better news, Dman and I have got the contract for repainting the leagues club.....

No prizes for guessing how Dman will be paid...

In turps?

Cant exactly say I'm stoked, but will give Baz my full support until rd10...

Hopefully Burton is keen to follow Baz...

What's the trifecta???.. Major sponsor, Fresh hotdogs, an EGM???...

Dual purpose solution as an inebriated painter...

"Fresh hotdogs" ...bit of an oxymoron there mate.

Barrett brings such a different approach to the game that he can change this team and club more than anyone has done since The Wok. I think he'll be a successful coach, but even if he isn't just bringing that change and embedding it makes him the best appointment we could've made IMO.

We will be completely different. Win lose or draw we will be a 21st century football team, not one mired in the past. We needed generational change and Barrett is next generation.

The Wok changed the team and indeed the club from a flukey satisfied to even be there type to hardened ruthless professionals that would do anything to win. and that stayed with us... mostly... up until GFQF night 2006.

I'm sure Barrett will have the same effect in changing us from a patterned everyone in their channel running blocks that everyone sees coming a mile off football to one that plays heads up play what's in front of you giving the talent room to do their thing football which is what the successful teams are doing now. What Penrith are doing now.

Things are gonna change. A lot.
