It’s a nice dream but would playing semi-pro teams from NZ and Oceania really provide all that? Sure there’s perhaps some good cash involved and maybe, just maybe a spot in the expanded Club World Cup.

But it seems to have gotten under your skin? If so, I’m all for it!

I think he has been doing that. Hence the talk of a new manager in July.

To say you’re getting repetitive would be a massive understatement. I know SMH are shite this season and will probably embarrass everyone again tonight against Preston, and also in the OFC competition and the Australian Championship later this year, but Pana won last night and Liverpool the...
