After 9 incredible years my time at Fox Sports draws to an end. 5 EPL seasons, 3 World Cups, countless

camps, Ashes tours, Cricket World Cup & plenty more. Been the stuff of dreams.
Sad it’s over. Thanks for all the kind words over the years. Meant a lot. We go again.
Pant to Paine:
“He’s a special guest up here boys, just a temporary captain. Loves to talk it’s all he can do.”
The stump mic sessions on

#AUDvIND
What the hell has actually happened?!
Leckie’s goal. Souttar again.
Back to back World Cup wins and clean sheets to get through the group.
With a squad and manager that has been ridiculed, mocked and dismissed for years.
A remarkable Australian sporting achievement.

Pochettino: Doesn’t have a cent to spend in off-season despite only spending £50m net in his tenure. Doesn’t complain, talks up youngsters & returning players.
Mourinho: spent £300m+ net at Utd. Spends all pre-season whinging about his squad, fighting everyone.
Class prevails.
Credit the
@CelticFC
board for looking outside the usual square and past the country on the passport.
Marston, Johnston, Bosnich, Zelic, Okon, Farina, Kewell, Viduka etc etc showed the world that we could play football.
Ange is showing them that we know it. ⚽️🇦🇺🏆
Bloody hell, some of the hysteria from
#LFC
fans after a loss. Never mind the 18 undefeated previous. Played poorly, opposition were excellent. It's the Premier League, it's going to happen.
There’s an elderly bloke next to me at the footy sitting all on his own, radio in, marking down every goal in the record. Fantastic.

Celtic finished 25 points behind Rangers last season.
24 league games into Ange Postecoglou’s
@CelticFC
tenure and they’re now a point above them.
3-0 bossing in the Derby. Incredible work from the Australian.
#CELRAN
Due to goal difference he‘ll have to wait for it to be official but unless they lose 4-0 at home next week Ange Postecoglou will lead Yokohama to the J-League title in just his second season in charge.
An Australian Football achievement for the ages is imminent.
Legend. ⚽️🇦🇺
Nothing against Warner personally but seems a bit odd for a player to win the AB Medal when they failed in the biggest series of all.
Should a Test Match at home to Pakistan be worth the same as one away to England? Not for mine.

Written off in qualifying. They’ve just thrown everything at an ultra relieved Argentina in the rd of 16.
Mat Ryan looked devastated. Held his hand up in apology to the fans.
Remarkable group. A heroic, game-changing, World Cup

If Liverpool beat Huddersfield next they’ll have accrued more points than Arsenal’s invincibles side with two games to go.
And that’s with two extra title challengers (City and Spurs) compared to 03/04.
Extraordinary a team could do that & potentially still not win the title.
In his speech at the
@GWSGIANTS
club champion dinner last night, Mark McVeigh revealed that Dean Solomon didn't receive a dollar for his work as his assistant from round ten. Just did it for a mate.
Legit just watched a lady push past everyone in the que to board our flight.
“Excuse me I’m in business class, please move I’m in business. I’m in business please move this is what I pay for.”
What a muppet.
BREAKING: I understand a deal has been done for
@TheMatildas
to host a tournament on home soil in Feb/March next year in the lead-up to the World Cup. Argentina, Korea & New Zealand who will all be at France '19 to compete. Sydney, Brisbane & Melb to host the games. How good 🇦🇺⚽️
Australia IS a football nation. By the millions.
It’s just a fractured following, spread across so many parts
Local clubs, EPL, A-Leagues & more
Our national teams bring it all together under one umbrella.
And when they fire, it’s an unstoppable force. What a day this is ⚽️🇦🇺
Wow.
Not hugely unexpected but Mile Jedinak had confirmed he has retired from international football and won’t go to the Asian Cup.
79 caps, many a massive penalty.
A truly great

There it is. J-League title clinched for Ange Postecoglou.
In his 2nd season, tough league, forced to speak to players through a translator. Extraordinary achievement.

What an absolute nonce this bloke is. Encouraging vitriol in a position of his power. Never mind it was a top save. Never mind Henderson had a brilliant defensive game. Moron.
⚪️🇦🇺 Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou has now accumulated the most points by a Premier League manager in their first 9 games.
7 goals in 9 games for Son 🇰🇷
3 goals and 5 assists for Maddison 🏴
…Spurs sit on top of PL table with 23 points, still unbeaten.
In just 12 years, Ange Postecoglou has gone from coaching kids in a suburban Melbourne park for free to landing the managers job at

#WelcomeAnge
Incredible.
A first World Cup win in 12 yrs. In a great spot now to qualify. Superb football in the first half and remarkable resilience in the second.
A first clean sheet since Chile ‘74. Mat Ryan’s best World Cup game in seven.
Souttar, Mooy beyond magic. Duke immense.
#Aus
Are people really questioning why
@TheMatildas
kept Kerr's injury news quiet?
It's a World Cup. Why would you give the opposition time to prepare for such a massive change?
I'm all for the media reporting it if anyone found the news out earlier though, of course.
Pumped for all but have to mention Harry Souttar & Martin Boyle. Hail from Scotland & would likely both be in their team.
Chose to play for

for the chance to go to a World Cup. Been nothing but dedicated to the cause. The call pays off for two ripping blokes.

In the space of just five years - Leicester City, a football club that has been around for 137 years - has now, in a truly organic fashion and against all odds, won both the English top flight title and FA Cup for the very first time.
One of the great sporting stories.
ANDREW REDMAYNE! Cmon Australia.
What a call, Graham Arnold. Credit the man big time when it’s due!
Five straight World Cups for the

For an Australian, without a prominent European playing career behind him, to get all the way to the top of a big EPL club is an unfathomable achievement.
But he’s always had that about him.

Game. Day. How good a win would be. Only had 2 in 14 World Cup games & Serbia 2010 was hollow after being knocked out that night. Croatia felt like one but really Japan 06 is our only meaningful victory. They’re not easy, it wont be easy, but let tonight end the drought⚽️🇦🇺🙌
They still talk about this in Liverpool. One of the best renditions they say they’ve ever heard. Can attest first hand it completely changed the way Australia was viewed as an EPL market. No surprise every other big club came over in the years after.
The Aussie fans were in superb form last night in the Kazan bars. Think the highlight was a good hour of Melbourne Victory chants at around 11pm. I swear one bloke sent his son to the other end of the pub so they could do ‘The North End/The South End’ ⚽️🇦🇺👏
The passing of Pim Verbeek is devastating news for Australian Football.
Always personable and affable. Divided opinion but took us to our third World Cup without many hiccups in qualifying & our last World Cup triumph v Serbia.
We have a tribute airing soon on

A 34 year old Uruguayan will debut for the Socceroos next week in one of our biggest games in 20 years.
The Bruno Fornaroli story is both brilliant and deflating, in terms of our player production line.

Well said by all. Gave me the best times of my life! Gave football in Australia a life like it never had before. ⚽️🇦🇺
Was hard to appreciate fully at the ground in the mayhem of those manic final moments...but you realise on replay just how well Garang Kuol did to create that chance with his body and first touch.
Fed Square dead set may not be here anymore if it goes in.
