Yes, places like Broadmeadows.
crow eaters = second class citizens with Victoria envy
Yes, I envy your massive rate of homelessness, your enormous amounts of traffic, being asked for approximately 4.2 billion dollars in "spare change" on the way to work each morning, masses of heroin addiction, vastly overstated housing market, shit beer, and most of all, Eddie Maguire.

In all seriousness, having lived in Melbourne for several years I'm aware of the advantages it has over Adelaide. However, when you get pubes you'll understand there's a few more things to life than bright lights and shiny things. Victoria envy is a myth propogated by Victorians to cover for their massive feelings of insecurity towards NSW.

Give it time, Rosso, Bracksy will make sure it costs $7.50 to walk to your mailbox if he wins the next election.

Still better that the latest faceless, talentless opposition hack.

Is that where you lived? There is a large ex-Croweater population there because it so resembles their homeland.

Massive rates of homelessness, yes people are willing to do anything to live here! infact they'd rather live on the street here, than go anywhere near yawnsville. Funny how Victorian beer is the only beer known on the international market. Overstated housing market? You really demonstrate your clues there. What is the value of a house (or anything else for that matter)? It is what someone will pay for it! Once again people are willing to dish out the cash to live here.

Yes we envy NSW for all of it's great events, like......... We have every major sporting event held in this country bar the NRL grand final. We are acknowledged as the cultural and sporting center of this great nation. With NSW and WA we financially support our poor cousins like SA. We have road tolls, you're right, but your little burb couldn't even afford roads if it swsn't for our tax dollar! You're right there is more to life than bright lights and shiny things, but when you have EVERYTHING (bar the weather) they are a nice icing.

Worlds most livable city twice!

it will be interesting to see how well Adelaide goes when it runs out of even the disgrace it now calls water.

Methinks the young boy doth protest too much...

In any case, exactly how many songs has Ben Folds written about Melbourne? Hmmm?

Anyway, we dont need people to write songs about our city, the world already knows us.

And getting back to the soccer for a minute, if we lose tonight, then some questions will have to be asked of the mentality of the group. Playing against two top in two weeks, and though we had a lot of the play against Adelaide, a loss to Sydney might have some of the players questioning themselves.

Won 2-1, cement our place at the top. Always a pleasure beating Sydney, especially away and when they take the early lead.

Great win by Melbourne. Fantastic support by the Victory supporters who travelled up. They were really loud. Always good to beat those pricks and to be 1 down and come back when playing away in the pissing down was great.

Got NZ next week, should be an easy win, but lets wait and see.

Boys are playing well so far, but still got 12 games left.

4-0.

Take a bow Carle. Anybody who can score a goal like that in the 89th minute to sink the scum should be knighted. All this just minutes after Adelaide missed a penalty at 1-1.

Went to the game tonight, awesome fun. 4 goals in 10 minutes, 3-2 after about 20-25 minutes and then an equaliser in around the 80-85 minute with only 9 players on the field. The stadium was going off, awesome night ;):D

That was an amazing game on Friday night. 4 goals in the 1st 12 minutes, a penalty and 2 send offs before half time. I would have loved to have been there. It sounded like it went off when Danny kicked that goal. I was going off in the lounge room.

Fred is a gun. Has ben BOG the last 3 games.
