Wrap - Western Sydney Bling

1. The Western Sydney Wanderers juggernaut rolls on! A tremendous win of gravity and steel and despite many odds. What is it with the World Game? A world of idiots and blatant cheats? This business of shining lazers in a player's eyes is outrageous. Not to mention the spitting in the face of an opponent. That grub should have been belted by a whole heap of players. A disgrace and you watch...he will slink off with no penalty. In the end little old Parramatta gets the first piece of silverware in the suburb since 1986. Nothing from rugby...nothing from league...nothing from cricket...

2. The Barbarians. How does one qualify for this gig? It reminds me of old time rugby when turnstile defence was the norm and brutal forward head clashes reigned supreme. "Winning" an exhibition match is a bit of a stretch to guage form around! The world of Michael Cheika is going to get messy eventually. No prisoners and this hard line might just upset a few precious rugby types.

3. Have the Windies made it home yet after running out of India? What a pack of clowns.

4. Australian Cricket. What is that malarkey? But for Mitchell Johnson last summer, it could have been terrible. I think deep down we know we will face this at some stage. However, how terrible is Chris Rogers to spin? Awful. Looks like he is playing French cricket. Then there is the super talented Maxwell who is a wasteful git sometimes. Throw in the benign Siddle - why does he keep getting selected and when do you ever remember him ploughing through the top order in the last five years? What of Nathan 'Doorknobs' Lyon? The worst spinning record in world cricket almost. How can the Pakis spin it and we can't? He was telling everyone the great Murali was teaching him...moneyback please ACB. Lyon needs to go. We seem to have physios, psychologists, academies, talent squads and hangers on by the dozen...we now need a few blokes who can play. A schemozzle.

Younis Khan is pretty special however. Up there with the great Javed. Is this Imran Khan playing now in this test as good as the great 'Immy'?

5. Australian RL. What gives with those horrid blue and violet jersies? Are we not still green and gold? England league would have a worse record than us at Eden Park I reckon. They are here for a holiday, not much else. Liking Samoa. It will be some sort of upset if New Zealand do not win the thing.

6. Sydney FC. That Graham Arnold has plenty of grit and determination. He makes teams look good. What a performance early with Sydney FC!

7. The San Francisco Giants. An extraordinary perfromance to win the MLB World Series. The October specialists strike. Three rings in five years is unheard of!
