    why did they reject this guy for the other one in the first place?
    The management down there are a bunch of head cases.

    Is Milligan playing today against Sydney?? I reckon we stand a chance today, maybe Milligan and Fabio in the back line, Carlos back and Harry trying not to dive too much ...

    I dunno if there are any regular MV posters left so:

    It's a two month loan so I'm not sure he'll start regularly, it'd be kind of counter productive if he becomes essential.

    I think you guys are probably slight favourites, Kewell appears to have pulled his finger out and we're nothing special at the moment.

    Yep, bloody disappointing. I've been saying all season, Fabio will get a goal this year and he did!! That was my highlight of the match.

    It seems every match someone in the MV backline has to do something stupid just so the othet team can get a free or penalty so MV don't win the match.

    Milligan played well except for the last 5 mins.

    This sorry team can't maintain an advantage if their lives depended on it.

    As a supporter is pretty hard to take. The match the other night looked like a match for the wooden spoon.

    I'm no soccer brain but they look to me like a bunch of individuals trying to play as a team but not quite sure how. There are some very skilled players in that squad and they should be doing better than they are.

    Defense needs some real work, there's something missing there, as I said I'm no soccer brain, but it's just not solid. Milligan has made a big difference in 2 matches and I think Fabio has been outstanding all season. Leijer is good but he does such stupid things and I think there is were part of the problem lies.

    I think Leijer should be relieved of his captains role and it should be given to someone more experienced, who that is I don't know???

    Hernandez looks disinterested. He's too good to let go, he needs some TLC and a reason and he'll be deadly.

    As I said I'm no soccer brain, just a passionate supporter.

    Yep, let's bring all old players back, so that when they all really retire, we have no young players with experience.
    Why bring KM back to save this year? Will he play next year, most likely not, so that would mean next year we go bad.
    It's not the solution.

    I always though Bozza was a good commentator. Not so sure now...

    Hernandez's exocet missile late in the second half was a work of art, absolute beauty. A real shame it hit the cross bar.

    Not sure why they took Harry off?????
