What a goal. That was bloody marvellous. No, not Michael Valkanis’s, although Roar fans may disagree. The Ufuk Talay one against Shanghai Chow Mein (but Corica’s opener wasn’t too shabby either). Sydney looked a totally different team from the Butcher boys – and Talay’s strike was the mark of a side who actually believed in themselves again...backed up with the skill to pull it off. It’s just a shame the defence was so nervy. There were more sphincter flutters than the Monday after Mardi Gras/morning after a vindaloo at The Clove Indian Restaurant, Crown St, Surry Hills, purveyors of the finest curry in Australia (delete according to your sexual/blatant advertising sensitivities).

Dave Carney was a star once again for the local lads, attacking up front and then repeatedly racing back to bolster the defence. He’d still be no match for Valencia’s Dave Navarro though. Now obviously past it as a rock god with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, the former guitarist raced off the subs bench to get involved in a brawl with Inter, lamped Nicolas Burdisso and broke his nose...then legged it round the pitch being chased by Inter players, Benny Hill-style. Not bad for a drug-addled 39 year old, eh? (This may or may not contain deliberate confusion created for comic effect). Anyway, watch the video for yourself here

BHOY BHOY – Kaka tatas Tims. I’ve not really got much to say about Milan booting Celtic out of Europe courtesy of a Kaka goal, but I quite liked the headline and the Bluenose in me hated to miss the chance to rub Celtic’s nose in it...

Is Jeremy Brockie’s "personal problem" reason for quitting Sydney that he’s just realised he’s a white man with dreadlocks? Hopefully he’s just going back to Kiwiland to get a haircut and be playing again soon.

Ross Aloisi feels Adelaide were hard done by losing to Moet et Shandong. Now there’s a surprise, eh?
