Good price to just drop the bags, not like anyones going to sleep anyway. Toon on Tour in Europe! Some cracking Irish pubs about ten minute walk from St. Christophers hostel. Do the beer tasting seminar as well, gets you well on your way for a good night out.

Every club is allowed two marquee players, one overseas and one australian. So Sydney will have Brett Emerton and Del Piero outside the salary cap. Earning around 3 million Aussie Dollars a year between them. The rest will fall under the salary cap which is 2.5 million dollars, looking like they will have Jason Culina as well. The bigger clubs like Sydney and Melbourne have the money to splurge on a big marquee. Does the A-League have a single-entity structure like MLS? No, most clubs have private ownership. Only one is owned by the league.

Just belt this out everywhere he goes Del Piero will be a huge success due to the massive amount of Italian immigrants in Australia. Sydney has around 175 000 people of Italian descendancy, so their games are a guaranteed sellout, about 42 000 capacity stadium. Where I live in Fremantle, South of Perth, the town is full of Italian immigrants. So the game in Perth is going to pull a bumper crowd. His signing has the ability to attract fans to the games that have so far avoided it for whatever reason and hopefully enjoy the matchday experience, to return again.

Massive for Australian football .. to have a legend of the game like Del Piero becoming the face of our game. Hopefully he can do what Beckham has done to MLS.

Hopefully after a few more dominant performances at reserve level, he can get a loan to a championship side. Think hed be more suited to the Belgium/Swiss/Dutch league because technically hes very good.

I have a greater interest in him because he is Australian. Sounds very promising. What does he need to work on to make that next step up?

Krul Santon Taylor Coloccini Anita Tiote Bigirimana HBA Cabaye Marveaux Cisse

More of a number 10 i think .. Got to get past Vuckic first.

Inman has to be close to joining the first team squad .. by all accounts hes dominating at reserve team level.

Knew Id forgotten someone ... Lee in for Tiote

He doesn't lack tactically at all, or last season wouldn't have happened. What's going on at the moment is pure cowardliness imo, he does have the brains to make a great team out of us - he's already shown that. Even last season we didnt dominate or dictate games of football. We relied on an individual piece of magic much like tonight from either Ba, Cisse or Ben Arfa.

I like Pardew and I think he has done tremendously with the team for nearly 2 years. Hes a great man manager and brilliant with the media. But i just feel he lacks tactically. The quality of players we have in our squad, we should be dictating games alot more than we currently do. Maybe we need a tactical coach to work under him, someone from the continent, to take us to the next level.

Ben Arfa to score this

Cabaye needs to fucking move!

BENNNNY

Positives: Santon and Bigi looking really good Negatives: Cabaye is off-pace and anonymous again, Jonas is giving the ball away far too much, Ba and Cisse not involved in the link up enough

Bigi improvement?

PUT THE BALL IN THE FUCKING NET MAN

Anita really been thrown in the deep end hasnt he?

We are pretty idea-less really .. with the players we have out there ... its shit

Bigi on Anita to left back .. Santon to right back?

Simpson injured ..... Williamson on?

Cabaye is well off at the moment. WTF is with him.
