Defaced by Horda before the weekend.

Nah, with the pathetic start to the season that Victory have had, they’re all rolled up in the fetal position rocking back and forth wishing it would all just stop. Defacing it would be all too hard right now.

Mumbai have the lowest ISL crowd average of about 6,000 for the last 3 years, so that seems in keeping with CFG expansion policy.

Kisnorbo to take the reins next season.

Just giggled my way through that like a school boy

Patty K confirmed with Eric the Frenchmen returning home for family reasons.

Can totally understand wanting to be closer to home for Mombaerts. Did a really good job with city and loss for the league with him gone. Think City would have won more trophies with him. Will be interesting to see how Kisnorbo goes.

Japanese midfielder Naoki Tsubaki has joined Melbourne City for the 2020-21 A-League season on a loan arrangement with J.League side Yokohama F Marinos.

The 20-year-old Tsubaki has spent his past two seasons on loan at J-2 side Giravanz Kitakyushu, where he made 39 appearances. He represented Japan at under-17 level during the 2017 U17 FIFA World Cup and was a graduate of the Yokohama F Marinos academy.

Melbourne City director of football Michael Petrillo said Ange Postecoglou, the former Australia national coach who is now coaching Yokohama, had been instrumental in recommending Tsubaki for an Australian stint.

“He comes to us in high regard from Ange Postecoglou and his coaching team at Yokohama and we believe he’ll be a great addition to our final third,” Petrillo said Saturday.

CFG own 20% of Marinos, yeah? Sounds more like a move that was dictated from above than Kisnorbo unearthing a gem.

It is certainly something I think we could see more of, having young talented players come over and have a go out here, especially if we ever go to the 3+1 system of foreign contracted players.

City basically trying to crowd out Team 11 from future expansion.

Its pretty smart. Differentiate from MV, boutique stadium potential and prevents another team eating their lunch their.

Melbourne will look a bit more like this. Very good strategically.

What will this mean for Yoshi?

South Melbourne is right in the city. It’s like a club in Petersham whinging about stuff in Chatswood.
