This is one of the best thread hijacks for a while. Not quite up there with the (in)famous Tim Tam hijack of c. 2010/2011, but close.

The 'Gareth Ainsworth' transfer thread that went completely off the rails is still my favourite.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

From recent experience, the New Guinea variety would be overwhelmingly strong.

Andrew Hoole released by Sydney, I'm guessing to allow him to go to another A-League club. Pacey winger, could be a good Barba/Krishna bench or, heaven forbid, injury replacement
