Is there an option for the champions jersey with Brendon Santalab’s crying face on the numbers instead?

I saw this posted on Facebook from the Freiburg ultras:

I love our inexplicable friendship with them.

The return of the Bridge Squat, how we missed it :smile:

Any background on how this came to be?

What’s the story there?

I’m sure others will have a better idea but my understanding is that some of their ultras came to Sydney for a couple of games and then some Cove guys went over there.

I noticed the half’n’half scarf in this photo last night and was wondering what was up with that. Nice touch.

This should be put on a brass plaque above bay 23 at our newly constructed stadium

Sydney win, all Melbourne teams looking for a manager…

Cannot ever get bored of the euphoric high winning the league, ever.

The song is doing circles in my brain, and I’m totally fine with that!

Can’t really say anything that hasn’t been said already, but I love this city and I love this club. You’re all my brothers and sisters in sky blue.

We have the Clank & now the Panenka that has given us the Championship, too funny.

One of their ultras came and lived in sydney for a while, he became good mates with one of our core guys. he started coming along to a bunch of tifo’s we did. for his last game here he did a message banner for his mates back home. they responded back next game.

from then its almost been like an exchange program, whenever some of ours go on holiday to europe their fans look after us, and when they come to sydney the favour is returned.

In a random thought, I can’t wait till Squires new cartoon in the Guardian.

Just how he shows the Panenka will be a work of art.

Watching the celebrations in the change rooms afterwards, and Milos’s work is a joy to behold. The whole beer shower starts with him as focus, but he glides smoothly and effortlessly out of trouble, and to safety at the periphery. Similar to how on the pitch he shrugs off the unwanted attention of markers with some smooth footwork to find space, he negotiated the Aaron-Calver-with-can-of-beer storm and found refuge.

Doing this after 120 min and clearly fatigued and lugging not one but two heavy medals around his neck = class.
