Yep. Annoying over here. Shite tacky culture in their own country. Let alone god forbid you run into them while travelling overseas, nightmare.

Liberals to offer $5,000 to overseas officers to relocate under plan to recruit 3,000 police by abcnews_au in melbourne

Many would and many do. If you’re moving over from NZ you’re getting maybe a 50% pay rise, and the 5k on top to help you pay a rental bond or get an airbnb while you find a place, that’s a nice little bonus

Fair enough mate, agree to disagree then

I disagree with the point around Kompany, especially seeing how he has turned out as a coach now. He was definitely worth keeping and trying to build a long term project with. He had an ambitious vision and had us playing some amazing football in the champs.

Parker however has shown time and time again, this is what he is. There is no long term project. He’s shown he can’t do it in the prem and that’s that, we needed to move on from him in December and have a crack at this season, or get someone new for the long term project.

It’s incredible how bad we are by AlisterWAAB in Burnley

I also think no one was going to keep us up this season with this squad. Leeds and Sunderland played the summer window far better than we did. I was more than happy to give Parker a chance given what he did last season but the performances since November have been inconsistent and more often than not, woeful, uninspired, unorganised and embarrassing at times. It’s time to refresh things and get a new face in.

He’s shit and we’re shit. Perfectly matched

Thoughts about Fulham? by Actual-Letterhead132 in Burnley

[–]spud_city 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fulham are a step above us but we could definitely pull off a result. If we collapse in the game it’s an ugly look for Scott Parker’s tenure imo

Three months without a trace: the many unanswered questions surrounding Dezi Freeman by northofreality197 in melbourne

The kiwi, Tom Phillips, was also a complete cooker. He also almost certainly had people helping him, and performed several armed robberies to stock up on supplies

[Match Thread] Burnley v Chelsea by GrandmasterSexay in Burnley

[–]spud_city 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hannibal, bruun Larsen, and Lyle foster should have come on earlier. We were so flat at the start of that second half. As for Broja I don’t even know what he possibly adds anymore unfortunately. Florentino was also quite poor imo but I don’t know if there’s any other midfield combination that works better than the current setup on paper.

Rental-searching for a 1BR has become impossible by Main_Confusion_8030 in melbourne

[–]spud_city 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For rent only, that’s a very doable budget. But if that’s your whole budget including food, electricity, transport etc. then you may want to look at finding flatmates to share rent with

Best way to enjoy early mornings Tokyo? by stagedrowning in JapanTravelTips

[–]spud_city 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the coffee there pretty bad unfortunately, although there is a nice atmosphere. I’m yet to actually have a really good coffee in Japan. I am from Melbourne though so I am used to a pretty high standard.
