@p78mc @ForVucksSake Christ you're dumb, Mata's level has dropped from top level EPL star to A-league player because he's old. Bruno was never an EPL star, he was an A-league star who has also got old and fallen off. We should expect a visa striker to come in and start over old man Bruno

@Dave_Matteo @ForVucksSake C’mon mate the AL and EPL chalk n cheese..but would you right now have a 26 yo replace Mata at the moment…I’m guessing not..the way he’s playing why should anyone replace him..

📣VOTES The VUCK turn back the clock and go bananas at AAMI Park. Give us your 3-2-1 for the FVS Balls of Steel Award. MON THE VUCK! #MVCvWEL

@p78mc @ForVucksSake If it was just a number Mata would still be running around in the EPL

@Dave_Matteo @ForVucksSake 37 just a number mate…eg…Mata

@p78mc @ForVucksSake So he was bad enough he couldn't stay ahead of a 37 year old Bruno? then he still deserves the same criticism as a Visa striker

@Dave_Matteo @ForVucksSake This season yes, he wasn’t ahead of Fornaroli last season was he ? What 14 games are we actually referring to? The 14 games when pratically no one could barely score themselves or midfielder’s couldn’t assist…when the whole team was ordinary?

@p78mc @ForVucksSake What? He started as the only striker in a 4-3-3, how was he not the main striker?

@ForVucksSake But he was never the main striker was he ?…

@victory_tokyo @ForVucksSake Bro what? he made 1 good save and 1 ok save and then we didn't test him again

@ForVucksSake Bruh, their keeper was MOTM

Pathetic and listless. A real Brebner-era performance with no answers anywhere. Give us your 3-2-1 and then give us some hot takes to go with them🔥 #MelbDerby

@joeylynchy At least we have ready to go branding, The Isuzu D-max destruction

I fear that the Big Bash setting fire to one of its stadiums is only going to start an arms race of bollocks with the A-Liga that can only end in our total destruction.

I should be able to get some sort of verification with tech support lines so I don't wait for 90 minutes on hold just to be asked to power cycle and unplug cables. Put me on like an automatic tier 2 issue solving

@RudiEdsall This goes unironically fucking HARD

Last one before I bin off twitter davematteo.bsky.social

@gomvfc Can we start the Alana Murphy for the Matildas 2025 campaign?

Here’s how we think we will line up seating wise on the flight to Brisbane 🛫

Alana Murphy deserves more hype in Aus football than she gets. At 19 she controls a very very attack minded midfield like a 15 year veteran. She deserves a Matilda's chance #MVCvWSW #ALW

@ghana3032 very bias, but Tommy Deng banger volley needs to be in the conversation

Righto, this is straight into the A-Liga top 5 for mine, no arguments. I'd also have McGree's scorpion and Hernandez's tracer bullet as locks. Most others you could argue either way. Thoughts?

Hello, the a-league is a wonderful tyrefire that produces endless moments of meme energy. Here are some random moments from over the years. Season 1 Highlights: - David Zdrilic misses a match for Sydney after impaling himself with a pole at training

@MWL152 While we're at that can we also standardise bread and toaster slot sizes

We need to nationalise microwaves so they all have the same interface

@JOSH______NZ @aleaguemen @fc_auckland We'll just all go get billionaire owners. BRB

@aleaguemen @fc_auckland Now THIS is how you do marketing. Other clubs in the league could learn a thing or two

@AriBrisbane @simonhill1894 Why would the OFC take us back? We're never hosting another senior world cup, just won't happen logistically or commercially and without that what do we offer the OFC? just take all the qualification spots and prize money that might be available? Seems pretty dud for them

@simonhill1894 Not only a bigger slice of the pie, but returning to Oceania would give Australia a clearer path to World Cup qualification & it also strengthens our case for hosting the World Cup... benefiting both Aus & Oceania’s growth. Plus significantly benefiting our U17, U20, Olyroos etc

Official figures are a little vaguer than this - but no doubt they’ll get what is a huge sum of money for ⚽️ in this part of the world. I’ve seen suggestions this should be a catalyst for Australia to “go back” to Oceania. Nah…you can’t just pick & choose your confederation…!

@ghana3032 Is sokkah twitter getting more cooked?

"grubs" 😂😂 WTF is this thread.
