I don't think so, maybe in some countries but not in others
Manchester United 4:1 Melbourne Defeat (Fri 15th July, 11:05 UK time)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Born and raised in Melbourne mate. Follow the EPL though and have lurked these forums many a times to see the meltdowns.
We're the 'biggest' team in the league but not currently at our former glory. Sound familiar? Our rivals are also Melbourne City whom are affiliated with Man city.
Maybe. But not tonight. The boys already taking bets on how many we'll ship past ya.
Melbourne Victory - Australian.
So it is a lot closer than you are making it out to be.
So I spent quite a bit of time in Melbourne back in the day and one of the locals took me to lots of Victory games. Surprisingly fun atmosphere and I also saw their rivals City play (who had Villa and Damien Duff).
Thought so. You might get the preview build up free but not the game
Looking forward to this. Lots of positives in the first game, hopefully lots more in this one.
I heard that in Australian schools, the footy fans get bullied by everyone else - even the cricket team. Is that true?
Yeah, the cricket team have bats though.
Probably. Australia have a shit football team and they much prefer Rugby and Cricket. Not sure how crazy they are for aussie rules football but that sport comes under the same umbrella as Irish Hurling. fecking nuts.
Nobody bullies the hurlers.
Normally, I'd insult you back.
But in this case I won't. Australia has so much to be proud of these days.
The likes of Jacinda Adern, Lord of the Rings and Taika Waititi have put you guys on the map. After all these years, the world finally has a reason to respect you.
I'm taking my missus to the game. Got the tickets this afternoon. Quite excited. Made some noise already at Caufield station.

If it‘s the same as the match vs Liverpool it‘s not free. It‘ll require a subscription once the game starts.
I had the options 7.99 for a month or 9.99 USD for a year. I‘m in HK though, maybe it‘s different where you are.
That's like saying a scouser with only four arrests is the nicest scouser though.
Surprised no team yet.
Garner still injured, by the looks of it. Looking forward to seeing Laird get a few minutes.
DDG being out is a bit of a worry. Hopefully just a niggle.
Varane already playing catch up with his fitness.
Let’s take bets on which of the old boy members is masquerading as the Melbourne Victory fan. The BBQ mention was a little too on the nose for me 
Whats the deal with Varane?
Surprise, surprise. McFred.
McFred 
VDB will literally never start.
Watch us getting spanked.
NSW and Queensland like Rugby, everywhere else is Aussie Rules.
Going to the Unted game at the g tonight but also keeping track of St Kilda in Aussie rules,
Tis a good night for sport.
Shame he's not mixed it up a bit more.
Rashford dropped already. I know it’s pre season but both games you can clearly see he’s going with his preferred team. Wonder what Marcus’ PR spin will be.
So Erik blatantly lied when he said we had a full squad with De Gea, Garner and Varane all out.
You'll be offending people here with that comment
Very surprised after media's golden boy sat next to Erik calling him the symbol of the academy in the presser yesterday.
Lad must've thought his starting place was cemented for the whole season
Not in front of Bruno he won't
Its Mcfred till we get De Jong.
I think he wants to try him as the CF today for a half.
Nani!!!
Garner still injured I take it. I was looking forward to seeing him in pre season as I think he could be the type of player to flourish in a Ten Hag team
Beginning to think Van de Beek might not be up to it
We need midfielders urgently. McFred cannot be starting games this season.
