Man who picked the image for the Niz shirt?! I wanna buy one but he needed a better pose.

Match worn jersey auction underway.

Jamo’s top currently $210 - wondering how a jersey that hasn’t been exposed to sweat can still be so salty?

Was just musing and browsing...
Last week was (not surprisingly) the highest-scoring decider in the history of national football comps in Australia - including some years when the NSL had a 2 leg aggregate score

Glover and O'Neill departing the ship of shame and woe

"Glover was concussed when a bucket was thrown at him

Despite the jarring incident, Glover said he left City with only fond memories.

I’ve loved playing at the club, but after shipping 6 GF goals and crying myself to sleep night after night ever since, the time has now come for me to take the next step in my career,” Glover blubbed, spirit broken like the rest of the soulless mercenary losers in his plastic team.

I may have paraphrased slightly ?

This news.com.au article came with the headline on my Google “Riot Victim Quits A-League”.

Anyone looking for an extended viewing of the grand final again, if you watch on ten play rather than Paramount it has all the pre match build up interviews as well as all after interviews etc after the game. There are adds though.

I might pick up Jamo’s top and save it for those times where I need to show zero emotion and just do business. Be a cold blooded f**king killer. Perfect clothing item for those moments.

Glad you didn't post the link cause I think it's fake. Didn't the club talk that down.........

$210? Damn. That's some expensive bog roll

So the lesson for all aleague teams is, do not play us in a GF with 2 former Mariners in your team. Stupid c**ts

I go for the reverse psychology bets. To ensure we win i put a couple of dollars on the opposition. I had a small wager on Adelaide in each leg of the semi final and i put a couple of dollars on Melbourne in the GF. Works everytime?

I do the same. Have lost a decent amount over last 10 games but worth it

But without actually doing anything. Just sitting around being a cold hearted killer

Bingo. Perfect fashion item for keyboard warriors, armchair coaches and reddit revolutionaries.

Oh man f**king loved the latest All Access. CFG, Corporate Funless Gangsters. Zero enjoyment football. Scam results by just hoovering the best players they can. Zero care about developing a club. No wonder they've got a couple hundred fans.

This is the thing for me with Melbourne City-

They started out as Melbourne Heart, a brand new club with no pre-existing history (like the Dolphins in the NRL) or any success to draw from. Their whole marketing appeal was essentially: We are from Melbourne but we are NOT the Victory AKA the (then) biggest and most successful club in the league.

So who was their target market, and why wouldn’t those people already be devoted Victory fans?

Then just 5 years in (and with no tangible success to speak of) CFG bought out the club, changed the home kit to resemble Melbourne’s biggest rivals and make the place even more soulless and Modern Football than it already was.

I am genuinely curious as to why City fans exist, apart from having some personal connection with the players/ staff?

Western United may have a fanbase you could fit in a phone booth, but they are drawing from a different part of Melbourne than City are aiming at.

Any $ity fans I know were MV fans who couldn't stand following the club anymore, and in particular wanted nothing further to do with their active.

I know someone who is a $ity fan, but also a ManU fan...it killed him backing citygroup but that's just how much he couldn't follow MV anymore.

He contacted me at the end of the GF to congratulate - and said our win was sweeter than theirs ever could have been because we did it the right way, the Lasso way, and they could only have done it the blood-oil way

$210? Damn. That's some expensive bog roll

Yeah, but sooooo totally worth it……

 

[Tevor]

I think Western will build a following when they finally have a home ground. Still amazes me they were allowed in without a stadium but that is for another thread.

If with all the success City have had the last few years and we now match them for crowds etc then the club is a failure for the League. Soulless sums them up perfectly and the only positive I can come up with is the OS connection which worked for Mooy.

Watch it again? Don't mind if I do!

We should do a get together replay somewhere on a big screen. BBQ, beers and another chance to enjoy this as a collective.
