We are five rounds into the season, and the wheat is slowly starting to separate itself from the chaff, going into six talking points from Round 5. Are City the real deal?

You win buddy. Well played.
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I’ve been busy getting interest in building a statue that has no traction, and it is pretty time consuming.
Andrew Johns deserves his statue
Newspapers and radio in Brisbane.
Do you need a rugby league lesson, or a geography lesson?
Andrew Johns deserves his statue
Coverage in local newspapers, tv, and radio in Newcastle and Brisbane. Talked about by Nathan Hindmarsh, Wendell Sailor, Danny Buderus, Mark Hughes, and Andrew Johns himself. Very surprised you haven’t heard about it yet.
Must be cramped in that rock you’re hiding under.
Andrew Johns deserves his statue
Daily Telegraph, Willie Mason, Nathan Hindmarsh, and Wendell Sailor are talking about it. It’s getting a little bit of traction.
Andrew Johns deserves his statue
We’re not expecting anything.
We’re simply asking Andrew Johns fans to get on board building him a statue.
Newcastle deserve a statue of Andrew Johns at McDonald Jones Stadium
In that case, make sure the Andrew Johns statue is first one produced.

Thank you ND.
I obviously agree mate.

Spot on Jim.
To be honest, my experience to date is most people complaining about Johns having a statue would complain about anything because they don’t know any better.

Fair enough Fads.
I think though you’ve missed the point of the talking point. You need to lighten up mate.
Six talking points from A-League Round 2
Haven’t made it negative at all. The point about the playing strip was actually to enjoy the Twitter banter that ensued.
Any negativity that might arise, that’s your reading, not my writing.

No need for me to talk about it. You’re doing a great job of it yourself.
I’m choosing to highlight Duric’s wonder strike. How good was it?

Actually, I see what you mean LH.
I can assure you my second to last paragraph was a comment on the quality of Perth, rather than any comment on the performance of the Roar.

My information is wrong.
Correcting immediately FAB.

Another great read Stuart.
Football in Australia continues its rocky road. Is there ever smooth sailing to be had for the world game on this continent?
Foxtel’s financial problems will change the way football is viewed in Australia
Great read Stuart.
Thought provoking as always.
Wayne Bennett lied to us, signed James Roberts and then got pants'd by the Eels on Friday night
Thank you for the following Jordan.
Ten talking points from 2018-19 A-League grand final
I love the responses.
But understand the material you’re responding to. I just want more people to enjoy the game. Meanwhile, your trying to start an unnecessary disagreement with someone who should be on your side.
Equally, you’re right. You’re responding to a blog. You too can’t be upset if someone calls you out on the manner. It works both ways.
Anyway, this has really run its course. We’ve generally found more common ground today than usual.
Six talking points from A-League finals: Week 1
I don’t recall people complaining about the atmosphere at the Grand final Adelaide hosted.
Nemesis, you’ve got a bit of the pugilist about you, which is fine. You need to direct it carefully though. So I would like 50,000 people attending home and away fixtures regularly. I didn’t realise wanting more spectators and viewers meant I don’t like football in this country.
That’s on me I guess.

I was wondering what took this comment so long to arrive.
I have high hopes for the A League. So sue me.

Watching the game, it felt in the balance, particularly when Bruno seemed to grab his second.
But when that was ruled out, and upon analysis, Sydney were the clear better team.
