hope everything is alright @Bluewolf and see you in a couple of weeks! As much as we all love this place and may be addicted to it, you gotta do what you gotta do!

he doesn't.

@Daedalus it's not the smoking, it's all that whisky @nudge drinks I play a fair bit of football and badminton but due to past ligament injuries I have to wear an ankle support on one leg and a knee support on the other. Walking casualty, me.

Melbourne had dominated since half-time but Newcastle go back in to the lead!

Melbourne City equalise after a Daniel Arzani penalty. Youngster seems better than Jacob Italiano of Perth right now. Very skilful and did well to step up for the penalty and convert it.

what a sentence https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-42811304

big goal for Newcastle! Topor-Stanley puts them 1 up away at 3rd-placed Melbourne City.

you still gonna be alright to scout, be a journalist AND be a club chairman?!

sounds like he's from a club that @Blue made up on FM

Great news for Everton and of course, Seamus Coleman. Glad he's made a full recovery to at least start playing football again.

Greek (Myconian) beach wins

December/January you're guaranteed to get games postponed. Pretty sure there was a game postponed in August a couple years ago cos of a waterlogged pitch

mate, England is notorious for shit weather even in the summer

my mate's brother is the goal-keeper at Hemel Hempstead. Used to be at Brackley so sometimes look out for the HH's results now. Good to see they're in the promotion/play-off picture.

De Bruyne to get contract extension as well https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42768546

hope you're alright @Dickie

the above made it 3-0. He scored again. McCormack just scored a 35-yarder to make it 5-0 in stoppage time. Rout.

Dario Vidosic just scored an absolute belter. Half-volley from the side of the box on the right hand side. Too powerful for the keeper. Comprehensive win for Melbourne City but could be marred by a possible broken ankle for Nathaniel Atkinson.

Couple of goals for Budzinski so far for Melbourne City. They're looking to score 3 goals in a game for the first time this season.

I wanna get involved!! Who has more Premier League titles?

Conte won't be going to Arsenal. He's too good for them and that's not meant to be disrespectful to Arsenal but he'll want to go to a bigger club constantly challenging for titles.

omg. Wells, for Central Coast, just missed an open goal from 2 yards out. Literally harder to miss. They still lead Sydney though 1-0

Woke up to see the score in the Newcastle game Totally didn't expect that. Oh and they were never finishing first.
