Wow, you have an astonishingly clear and accurate memory. Nikola would be proud.

If my kids get anything less than an A my wife puts them on bread and dripping for a month. Hard Lebanese woman that she is.

I think I did one of those last year……..not sure. Definitely on the cards for Tuesday. If it is poor, it will be your fault! Big clash between Sydney and Brisbane this week. A chance for Fowler to make a real statement.

You may have taken this far too seriously….although I did like your analysis and critique of the piece. Who wins the Melb derby this week?

Better in some areas and weakened in others. Definitely freed up by the silver haired Corica and destined for sustained success. Brillante a huge loss yet Brattan and Baumjohann loom as championship winning moves. Kosta the unheralded factor off the ball that may bring even more productivity from Le Fondre.

I was actually waiting for an invitation to move into your spare room up north. Have vehicle, can travel.

Considering their base…… yeah, B seems fair to me. Maybe B- suits better?

Always afraid to walk the streets down here Waz. I think I need a sea-change. Any ideas? Wanderers was a tough grade to come up with. Still sitting 4th and judging across the whole season thus far? I’ll stick with B. Last three weeks would be a different story though.

One would think not considering history, however, at this stage he might just be the favourite if judged based purely on effectiveness.

Totally agree Post_hoc. Playing the exact role required and gelling almost immediately. Something a few other teams would kill for right now.

I’m tipping them this week and after 5 from 5 in round 7, I’m pretty confident.

What a ripper read, aside from the American tinge. It sort of supports both views in a way. I love the line about Klopp’s approach being a combination of data and intuition.

Probably true. So sad to see United in the doldrums. Although I am more concerned with the sinking ship that is West Ham. Dropped from 5th to 17th. I’ll have a look at this. Not sure where you stand on stats. Obviously patterns emerge and pressure and possession play a role, yet part of me always feels that moments and magic mean just as much in our game at times. Thanks.

Just a guy who loves the A-League.

Could it ever be the opposite? Stands to reason I would have thought.

Agreed Tyke. An over reaction in my view. Just as irritating as an old fashioned clanger from a referee with nothing more than eyes to make the call.

Why would anyone want to be an A-League coach?

I was told this by someone who knows Corica very well. So far, so good for him.

I have been doing a reviewing via the mini-matches as well. About time we had the option to do this. Should be included in the ratings!

Laughed my way though the entire second half. Not at the game, with the game. Unpredictable. Dramatic. Roy threatening to lose his mind. I love those wild matches where the winner means little to me but watching players cope with mayhem becomes immensely entertaining.

I’m tipping the next decade will see China doing the same thing. The football world has finally moved well beyond Europe and South America. One can only imagine what things will look like in 10 years.

Thanks Redondo. Always a pleasure to write about great people. As Milicic told the story and I was utterly transfixed.

She is a born leader. I must admit, one of my favourite players. Efficiency personified.
