If you genuinely think that hats with corks is all we invented then I think you need to broaden your horizons a bit mate, you know wifi? That thing you are using to go on the internet right now at decent speed? Invented by an Australian. Pacemakers? Invented in Australia. The 'black box' on planes that has helped make planes safer? Australia. Google Maps (before Google bought the idea)? Australia. Ultrasounds? Australia.

I don't want this to be a big American style 'oh look how great my country is' but if you're going to be an ignorant prick while being a xenophobic asshole at least be factually correct.

My post to Art Vandelay Art Vandelay said it's what you're famous for, and it is (amongst other things). My problem is with him, not Australians, but thanks for the lesson. If a gentle micky take about hats with corks makes me a xenophobe then a xenophobe I must surely be.

Cross examination ? this isn't crown court mush !

What are you so desperately trying to prove anyway ? a couple of pt sessions off season surely should be par for the course for a professional athlete who earns millions annually.

The beginning middle and end of my "case" is I refuse to give kudos to a professional athlete for exercising , good luck convincing the Jury otherwise !

You've started this whole thing because you took exception to me pointing out that he's shown a good attitude towards his situation. You asked for proof, I provided it. Nothing "desperate" about it.

No one asked you personally to give Kudos to him. I was pointing out that he's been doing extra training in his own time when other players are fattening up. It's a good attitude.

Michael and Brian Laudrup were, along with the Nevilles, the best footballing brothers of recent years...

You started struggling when you compared the peerless Laudrups with the Nevilles.

Who's fattening up ? it's moronic to think the majority of players aren't doing some sort of training in the off season I don't see why Sissoko needs special mention

"Moronic"

Quite a bold statement - any proof that it is the normal standard? (to use your method).

Why do you take such strong exception to acknowledging his efforts? It's noteworthy because it doesn't suit the narrative peddled against him for being lazy and unprofessional, which is often brought up (not necessarily by you).

Common sense would dictate that an employer who pays you millions of pounds a year to perform a specalist role that requires maximum physical potential or close to, to be acheived would expect his staff to return to in excellent condition.

You call it strong exception I call it not sharing your pov.
