I am really not liking the mighty reds chances this year. Adelaide Utd, that is.

dermy said: Right! You've got me started...
Back when Adelaide and Melbourne were representing the A-League in the ACL, Melbourne had the unfortunate luck of having Gamba Osaka (AKA, the eventual winners!) in their group. Melbourne came 2nd in the group to Gamba, and as a result, missed out in playing in the knockout stages.
Did Adelaide come runner-up at the ACL? Yes, they did.
Were Adelaide the 2nd best team at the ACL? No. They were already 2nd best to Gamba and Melbourne AT LEAST.
That being said, Adelaide certainly did surprise me in making it that far, so I suppose they deserve credit for that...
*Takes in deep breath*
Anyways, Scousers beaten at home by Villa 3-1! Muahahahahahaha!!!
It also ended their 35-match unbeaten streak at home.
It also makes the competition very interesting. You would think that the Spurs would drop off slowly during the season, while Chelsea will keep up their pace.

How were they second to Melbourne? They never played in the ACL, in which conditions were completely different to A-League... So unless Melbourne BEAT Adelaide in the ACL, which they didn't, there's no way you can say they were the better team in the competition.

I lol'd.
Wait, was that meant to be serious?

It's a consistency thing, not an ability thing.

KK1387 said: Dermy, that actually makes them the most achieving Australian team and not the best Australian team.
I'd say that Gold Coast Utd. are actually looking like the best team at the moment.. I suppose we'll see when they play Melbourne, won't we?

That's just like saying Burnley is better than Man Utd. They beat them, but by no stretch of the immagination are they better than United. Same goes here, Gold Coast may beat Victory but Melbourne still has 2 titles to GC's none. Which makes Melbourne the best team.

Before Usain Bolt ran in his first international competition, was he the best - for having the ability to run the fastest time - or was the person before him better because they had lots of gold medals?

SyRiAn2Nv said: I'd say Melbourne are the most SUCCESSFUL team, not the best, just like Liverpool, who are the most successful, yet are failing badly at the moment.
Let's just hope they bounce back, they only lost twice last year and now they've already lost two.
