English Tragedy

[Wearmouth]

God its great to be Australian.

Yet another pathetic English attempt at playing sport. When will they learn.

SYDNEY ROOSTERS 38 ST HELENS 0 in the World club challenge.

I suppose any one of the top 10 NRL teams could have inflicted the same result.

Its becoming too easy. I am almost beginning to feel some empathy for the English supporter......... Nah it was just a fart building up. Got rid of that quickly.

I here that there is a spelling competition you may want try.
Its against some of our 10 to 15 year olds.

Go Pies 2003!!

Iam Australian but was born in England (i came here when i was 2), i consider my self Australian in every way, but there is 2 things that piss me off about this Country-; 1. the way we cut down tall poppies and the way we get cocky about sport.

OK the Cricket is alright as we do lead the world, but you are having a go at St Helens the kings of Rugby league for the last 2 years, im not sure if they beat Newcastle last year but im sure they beat the broncos the year before.

England are also the top side in Rugby Union at the moment and are close favourites to win the world cup, they have us the last 3 times they have played us and have beaten Sth Africa and New Zealand recently as well.

We deserved to win the Soccer but in my mind we are no where near England in the Class they have and the Depth they have.

I would also like to apologise for talking about Rugby on this site but i thought it was my duty to prove a point!!!

Creedy your support for your home country is admirable. However being considered favourite for anything means squat. The act of actually winning and being the best is the task at hand. Lifting the silverware. That is where the English have been so long away from that they have developed a severe case of stage fright.

And secondly, watch this space in the next few years. A tidal wave of change is about to hit the Australian soccer scene. Everyone knows that we are the best breading ground for raw talent in the game. It makes no difference that England have a league of ordinary players to choose from. Its only the top 22 that really count and I'd stack up Australia's top 22 against England's any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Lets not move away from the fact that England are the biggest under achievers.

Their is one thing that blantantly sticks out in all these discussions. That is noone needs to tell me how good the Australian cricket team is they stand up and deliver, noone needs to tell me how good the Australian Rugby League and Rugby Union teams are they stand up and deliver, noone needs to tell me how good the Australian swim team is they stand up and deliver, none needs to tell me how good Cathy Freeman is she stands up and delivers I could keep going all day. Does there seem to be a pattern developing here Creedy.

To first succeed you must strive to achieve.

And here ends the lesson.

Go Pies 2003!!

I agree with you with everything except the Soccer, although i was happy about the result last week i know that we are not a better side than the English, it was only a friendly.
If you would stack Australias best 22 up against Englands best 22 in a world cup then get ready for a thrashing, in a game that means something we dont stand a chance (remember England vs Argentina in the world cup).
And you said our best 22, well unfortunatley our depth is a problem, take Emerton, Kewell and Viduka out of the side and you have the side that was beaten by the Kiwis last year.
Im happy that we beat England last week but to now think that we are better than them is stupid, lets not get Cocky it was only a friendly, we have done England a favour, they will now get thier arse into gear. Lets not forget the talent that played in the second half- jenus, hargreaves, king and rooney, do you really think our second teir players are as good as that.

It wasnt an excuse Jeff, England did take it seriously but not seriously enough, Australia cant now sit back and think they are the Dogs Bollocks, they still have to work on a few things including the way they sat back and defended for 30 mins in the second half.
Jeff it was a friendly and at the end of the day they count for &%%& all!! We can brag but im sure that was not the England we will see in Euro 2004.
My god i didnt know that everyone would get so cocky over a friendly, if i knew this was going to happen i would have gone for England and not Australia, but i did and im still happy that we won.

It's funny that idiot goes on about St Helen's losing the World club challenge but it's been won by English clubs for the last 2 years beating the top Aussie side each time.


For sure Ausie team sport is great & we can't compete with that but you brought up cathy Freeman, so where's all the other great Aussie athletes.We've got a guy who's jumped about the top 10 distances ever in the triple jump & won the Olympics/World cha,ps/commonwaelth/European champs.We've gpot a female runner whose smashed the marathon world record & won the european gold at 5000m & Commonwealth gold at 10,000m this year, running the second fastest time ever.We've got the bloke whose won Gold medals in 5 consecutive Olympics, what did you call that? standing up delivering was it.

We also happen to have the Heavyweight Champion of the world.

As for Australian soccer, you probably won't even make it to the world cup you'll probably choke again like you did against Iran trying to qualify for 1998.Actually is that an Aussie disease cos I seem to remember the 'Great White Shark' having a 6 shot lead going into the last round at Augusta but his arse went & nick Faldo picked up another green jacket.

I do not & have never loved Liverpool FC

Hey Dip ive spent the last week trying to tell everybody that England arent shit, now you say that we might not make the world cup! i beg to differ as we only have to beat New Zealand, ok we might have been lucky that England had a training run last thursday but dont take the argument that far!!

Hey dipper

Tell someone who cares !!......

[Pies Premiers 2003]

PS dipper dont forget the population of the UK....you have as many people in "SUNNY LONDON" as we have in our entire country...



THE PIES GO MARCHING ON

[creedymagpie]

Pies Premiers 2003, i dont want to seem pathetic but if you come onto this part of nicks you will know that i hate people posting shit and untrue info so here it goes- London has a population of 11,850,000 (top ten of everthing 2003) which is about 6 and a half million people of your statement (australia 19,200,000 people).

We have to realise that we are very privaleged to live in this country (i went to the uk last year and was busting to get back just to have a decent Coffee), we have the room to have things such as massive swimming pools and sports grounds and all governments (liberal or labour) spend a lot of money on sport while Tony Blair and his cronies dont and we have to realise that real estate in the UK is a bloody joke (a 20 squre house in a bad area of london would be about $1,000,000).

As i said i dont want to sound pathetic but there is so many reasons why we seem so good at sport but the main reason is that Governments spend so much money on it and land is so cheap here.
