Really appreciate all the video footage and the good-natured banter—brought back some great memories.
I moved to Oz in 2007, and as you’d expect, quality football chat can be hard to come by. Let’s just say the concept of “big clubs” is interpreted a little differently over here. Some think history began in 2003. Others seem to believe it’s measured solely in recent spending.
Of course, not everyone is here for the football. Some prefer to engage in cryptic one-liners, carefully constructed to imply a level of intelligence they’re convinced the rest of us admire. It must be exhausting to carry that burden.
A few seem more interested in the art of veiled snark than the game itself—modern-day philosophers armed with riddles, eager to remind us all how very clever they are. And then, of course, there are the truly enlightened, whose worldviews are shaped by the finest sources the internet has to offer.
Anyway, I digress. To the real Toon fans—here’s to another season of passion, progress, and hopefully a few more top-quality signings to push us even further.
For those who came with good energy, thank you. For those who didn’t—well, I do wish you well. Perhaps one day, you’ll find the audience you’re looking for.
Adios!
