Just under half an hour gone here, and Tim Cahill has just opened his A-League account for Melbourne City with a wonder goal from the middle of the the Victory half!!!!
Melbourne Victory 0 Melbourne City 1
Whoa!

0 - 3 :)

Victory are the Big Club in this town - and City playing them off the park here.
1 - 3 Very much against the run of play.
1 - 4 :)

Now let's hope the converse holds true...
Melbourne City fans starting to air some of our songs!
"Laaa, Laaa, Laaa, La-a-La Laaa... La-a-La Laaaa - City!"
(Victory fans resorting to predictable "Where were you when you were shit)
Good game this.
Final whistle 1 - 4
Melbourne City were very good. Nice tempo, good passing, worked very hard and gave Victory precious little time on the ball. Just a little shaky at the back occasionally (sound familiar?) but considering there are a lot of new faces in this City team they have gelled remarkably quickly. Tim Cahill just gave a very good post match interview. I'm impressed.
Just over 43,000 = a good crowd for football here. Good atmosphere.
Sounds good. A decent crowd indeed. Hope it turns out to be a good season for them.
Seen the first half this morning and thought they played well.
Cracking goal from Cahill. Makes a change from him scoring regularly against us.

Not too long ago that would have been reason enough to sack the Melbourne manager. ;)
Yes - I had to pinch myself. When I settled here the only things you heard mentioned here when English football came up was Liverpool or the rags. How times change :)
