Jealousy is a bitch ;)

I don't bother watching any more. All he does id rubbish anything that isn't Barca or Brazilian. It's fucking nausiating to say the least. Nothing more than another fanboy...

When was he in Toronro :wink: Unfortunately Juventus was almost the only option he did not have...

:agree: couldn't agree more

He's going to be a poster boy for the whole league throughout Asia - he is massive there (has staff in Japan)! he get's to live in an amazing city with brilliant weather, he will be treated like a god by those who know him and will be able to walk to the shops on his own and no one will bother...

Try telling that to this dick dead! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kosmina :sergio: You have no idea how mush it infuriates me when i hear idiots say "Romario was shit" or "He failed here"

Nuh, the A-league is all about speed and strength. Technical ability comes second to brute force here :(

It didn't help that the decision to bring him here was made by the board and the coach disagreed so he continued to play "long-ball" with Romario up front :shocked: The poor guy was being forced to jump at everything. The (very) few passes he got along the ground, where he could run on to it...

It was only a 6 week guest appearance. given that they only play once a week here and he picked up an injury made it worse for him.

It really isn't that bad. That wellington team also made up the majority of the NZ team that drew with Italy at the 2010 world cup. also Dwight Yorke played a-league then went on to play in the EPL again. there's no way he would have been able to make the jump back up to EPL if it was amateur...

This article is in the Adelaide Advertiser today. It's written by Val Migliaccio so I'm not 100% sure of it's truthfulness as he's a bit of a sensationalist but still it's so embarrassing thinking that the club from my home town were too narrow minded to even think about one of the greatest...

Made the front page of the major Sydney newspaper.

That's why they paint the seats yellow, so the sheep stand out...

Even thought I'm not a Sydney fan, his first game should be in Sydney in front of a packed stadium. Nou in front of a half packed yellow bowl in New Zealand...

something like that ;) I actually work right in the heart of the city by the Rundle Mall (main shopping precinct) and most players of visiting teams have a few hours free in the day if they play the Friday night game and they tend to wander down the mall. I hope ADP does that!

His first game will be against the Phoenix in Wellington :sergio: He should skip that one...
