This is a wonderful story told by former Arsenal great Ted Drake.

Did he say Melbourne was a p#ss-ant town? Sounds like he’s already blaming the players for the loss. #MVCvMCY

Izzo’s Paramount Plus Player Index score 1.3 million. #MVCvMCY

Izzo saves the last penalty , saves Melbourne Victory and probably saves Leigh Broxham’s bacon. An amazing performance and what a win! #MVCvMCY

Whatever the result it was an incredible performance by the 10 man Victory side. #MVCvMCY

Confected anger from Melbourne City players in an attempt to influence the referee and it worked. #MVCvMCY

Geria guilty of ball watching there and City take the lead. #MVCvMCY

Wonderful save by Izzo! #MVCvMCY

What was Da Silva supposed to do there? How could he get his supporting arm out of the way? Referee Alex King is having a shocking match so far. #MVCvMCY

That was a shocking foul on Arzani earlier. How did that go unpunished apart from incompetent officiating? #MVCvMCY

Except the two policies are very different but let not allow facts to get in the way of more lies from Sky News Australia folk. In Australia the government is changing indexation it’s not cancelling student debt (which is what the Biden Administration is doing.)

Well stuck goal by Lolley but what the heck was the goalkeeper thinking as he just watched it go into the back of the net? #SYDvMAC

There's obviously a 'talk up Caceres' strategy deployed tonight by the Paramount team. #SYDvMAC

A 'foul' outside the box and both players were going away from goal, how could it have been considered a goalscoring opportunity? Not a red card imo. #SYDvMAC

Passive defending from the Macarthur defenders and Mak scores. #SYDvMAC

One day they’ll change the law and make taking the ball into a corner a form of obstruction, you should be good enough that you don’t need to do that. #MCYvSYD

What a turnaround for the Mariners. They were more ordinary than ordinary at the start of the season now they are premiers. Incredible. #CCMvADL

I hate the confected anger on display by opposition players used only to influence referees to hand out yellow and red cards. It’s unprofessional behaviour by so-called “professional“ players. #CCMvADL

I’ve watched plenty of Liberty A-League matches this season and I’ve not heard anyone say “I wish we had VAR”. Just make the call in Australia to get rid of it as the clubs in Sweden have voted against it . It’s created more problems than it has solved. Isuzu UTE A-League Football Australia

Really? Offside? I recorded on my phone as I was watching it and I moved it frame by frame, that is just when the pass was made. He was onside. Who’s the VAR? #MCYvWUN
