As Ant mentioned yesterday we last night went along to the Asian Champions League match between Melbourne Victory and the Korean Chunnam Dragons. (2-0 to Victory!)

Along with Craig and Goobermetrics we enjoyed sitting in front of the unofficial Victory coaching team who shared their drunken wisdom about the poor management choices of official Victory coach Ernie Merrick with all those sitting in the vicinity. One of their biggest targets was Victory striker Danny Allsopp, who they creatively called Danny Allflop. Ant and I nearly sprayed our beer over the people in front of us when one of the drunken bogans angrily cried, “jump up, Allflop! Get up there! You’re taller than everyone else on the field put together!”

You can thank a leftist teacher for that, I suppose.

The Editor and I are going to Telstra Dome tonight to watch Melbourne Victory hand some generic South Korean team* their arses in the Victory’s first Asian Champions League match.

We have three tickets up for grabs for the low, low price of $25. Don’t miss your chance to join the Australian blogosphere’s two most uninteligible non-bachelors for what promises to be a tolerable time at the very least.

Kickoff is at 7.30pm, but we’ll be meeting earlier to grab a beer and some decent seats.

Express your interest in the comments, and I’ll contact you by email.

* Okay, they’re known as the Chunnam Dragons. See, you didn’t know who they were either.

UPDATE: Too late — I have to head off now. Anyone who’s still interested will have to contact me on my mobile: 0411 GET BNT. Cheers. *sob*

Walking to the Phone Dome. Greeny’s bald dome is covered by a hat in the lower left section of the image.

The crowd was large and pumped.

Some shit band were playing. Their keyboardist tried to inject some rock and roll into the act by picking up his instrument. It didn’t work.

I love the smell of flare gunpowder in the morning.

Greeny is either celebrating a 6-0 win or ordering six cans of Heinz’s best.

The Editor: man of the people.

Greeny stares dubiously at the dubious kitchen of a dubious Chinese restaurant.

Watching the Melbourne Victory vs. Adelaide United match at the Phone Dome last night, Billybob, Greeny and I were bemused about Adelaide’s major sponsor, Sakai. We’d never heard of any company by that name and a snap poll of the three others with us confirmed that Sakai were an enigma, nobody having any idea about what they sold/ produced/ provided. We were left with no option but to conclude that Adelaide United are sponsored by Iron Chef Hiroyuki Sakai, the king of French cuisine. And what a sponsor! Sakai was the most successful of the seven total Iron Chefs, boasting 70 wins, 15 defeats and one tie. Sakai obviously saw his own fighting spirit reflected in that of Adelaide United and decided to support their cause with a naming-rights sponsorship. Adelaide’s fighting spirit was all on show last night with coach John Kosmina attempting to strangle Melbourne Victory captain Kevin Muscat. The beautiful game.
