Melbourne - Sporting capital of the world 2010

[Cricketman]

You guys could debate all you want, the whole world knows that Melbourne is the sporting capitol of the world.

/end thread

Melbourne is NOT the world's sport building occupied by legislature.

I'm going to stick up for Sydney here as I used to live there. Syd hosted the Olympics, has the best Australian FC team, has a glorious stadium, plenty of top swimmers from Sydney, pretty good soccer team too from what I've heard.

Melbourne's actually hosted both the Olympics and the Commonwealth Games.

When was Melbourne's olympics? 1956 or something?

I'd look it up, but it'd take half an hour on capped net.

Sydney, meanwhile, got it in 2000. Don't bring up 'hurr Melbourne got Commonwealth in 06' or whenever, Olympics are so much more important, highly regarded etc.

We are one but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come,
we share a dream,
And sing with one voice,
I am, you are, we are Australian.

And from all the lands on earth we come,
we share a dream,
And sing with one voice,
I hate, you hate, we hate Victorians.

Fixed.

Give up Gazza you can't fight against jealousy

 

[mattfb]

In the two sports I care about most, Sydney destroy Melbourne. So I'm far from jealous. I'm loving life as a sydney-sider right now.

 

[TumTum]

Trust me jealousy is involved if you "hate" Victorians. Sad really.

 

[mattfb]

Trust me, I'd know how I'm feeling.

Sydney won both titles on offer last season - We beat Melbourne for both.
St. George are 1st, legally undefeated - Melbourne just got caught cheating and lost their titles.

How on earth could I be jealous?! I'm loving life

Then do it without having to abuse others. TBH I can't take your crap anymore, you've been going about it since I joined this forum.

I honestly wouldn't say you destroy us in Rugby League, more that we are invalid. And in soccer, you won one trophy by the slimmest of margins (one point) and the other in a penalty shoot out.

Lmao mate, I didn't abuse you.

You're invalid because you cheated to get to a point where you wouldn't be destroyed. It's simple.

We beat you guys 2-0 to win that title. That was the best day of my life, knowing we needed to win against Melbourne on the final day of the regular season, being in the cove and seeing 2 great goals go in. Then in the pouring rain celebrating with the players. Then the GF, we won it on YOUR home ground. That was just as good. Devastated I wasn't allowed to go.

Who cares...

 

[pcfan123]

can someone clarify this for me.

What is the stereotype about people from Melbourne? Why are they so disliked
