It was great and must do it again, maybe whilst watching some football……… Well Podcast listeners today I met, in person, one of the men we all listen to every week, Chris ‘the voice’ Knowles…..on a wet lunch time in Melbourne (which still doesn’t quite match the Australian image I had in my head when I left the UK) we caught up for a coffee and a chat to talk about life & football, the weather & football, the 70’s & football, Australia & football, the A-league…..& football.

]]> Comment on 2010/11 Show 3 :: A Devil of a Weekend by Bradley from Brooklyn http://www.agameoftwohalves.com/?p=369&cpage=1#comment-484 Bradley from Brooklyn Wed, 25 Aug 2010 03:39:35 +0000 http://www.agameoftwohalves.com/?p=369#comment-484 Great podcast. Best wishes to Mark on his reunion with Old Trafford. Although the goal tallies have been a bit absurd, I feel that things will settle down soon enough. Chelsea is very good.....but not THAT good. And Liverpool are in disarray...but not that unnerved. (Although I think Roy has landed the right job at the right club at the wrong time.) Funny how Blackpool's "Hull City early run" lasted exactly one game. Could be a long season for them. They have already crashed out of the Carling Cup. I was looking at the Championship and League One scores...maybe you should do a segment on "when they were bigger" about clubs that had their time in the sun and then dropped off the radar: Leeds, Charlton (they are terrible now), Crystal Palace, Boro...etc. My beloved Fulham would surely be on that list if it wasn't for "The Great Escape". Despite the slip-up at the Cottage, Man U look strong. If Berbetov had Rooney's hustle he could be the golden boot winner. Somehow he just looks like he can't be too bothered out there. I'm a big fan of Park, but for my money Nani is one of the most dangerous wingers in the game today - why not start him every game? Watching the Man City game has only solidified my belief that Joe Hart should be the England #1 keeper. He has proved himself time and time again. That's all. Hopefully Fulham take Blackpool on the weekend - an away win for us is always something to celebrate. Great podcast. Best wishes to Mark on his reunion with Old Trafford.
