Who would have thought we'd outrage so many with our top 25 Australian footballers of all time? The forums have gone crazy! Archie may be calling Viduka's omission an "absolute disgrace" (see the article below) but it has been interesting to see a large number of Australian football fans defend the decision on the forums.

Maybe it's the weather, the change of seasons or just the greenhouse effect, but people just seem to be in an angry mood at the moment. Witness the fiery Sydney vs Melbourne clash last weekend - eight yellow cards, one red card and a serve for Aussie defenders from the little maestro Juninho. Watch out football fans, emotions are running high.

Four... things you must know about the week in football

Australia News
Juninho Tells Brazil Of Oz 'Violence'
So Juninho reckons it's pretty rough Down Under. Well what do you expect after a game against Kevin Muscat. Or was he talking about his team-mate Steve "Studs-Up" Corica? Luckily he didn't play in the match against Queensland Roar's Danny Tiatto.

FFA Piles On The Pain For Corica
The FFA has piled on the pain for Steve Corica, adding to his two match ban with a fine for speaking out about his red card against Victory. As if losing to Melbourne wasn't punishment enough...

Djite Out For Up To Six Weeks
What a tragedy - just as Bruce Djite was starting to hit his straps, an ankle injury will see the league's top goalscorer on the sidelines for the next six weeks. It's just as well that Adelaide has plenty of attacking depth.

Wright Stars... For Cheltenham
Ah, the joys of negotiating with ageing foreign stars! It seems Sydney FC's big target Alan Wright would prefer a non-contract arrangement with Cheltenham Town in England's third tier comp to playing in the A-League.

Archie's Anger Over FourFourTwo List
Who would have thought we could get the easy-going happy-go-lucky Archie riled up? All you have to do is leave his buddy Viduka out of your top 25 list... Tell us what you think.

Sven's $10m Swoop For Bresh
Man City boss Sven Goran Eriksson is set to make a $30million swoop for Socceroo Mark Bresciano and Liverpool striker Peter Crouch in January. Any move that gives us a bit more of Marco on the tube is OK by us.

Robson Hunting More Aussies
...and we might see more Aussies following in Dave Carney's footsteps with news that Sheffield United boss Bryan Robson is on the hunt for more A-League gems. It's good to see our talent get some recognition.

Two... things that made us laugh

World News
Celtic Chief Questions Dida's Dive
What a joke! Dida gives a class in giving footballers a bad name. We'd love to be at the UEFA hearing when the keeper has to explain his theatrics. Watch his performance.

Football West's Goals of the Season
Lots of great goals from Football West's Premier Division, but check out goal number five! Our thoughts go out to that little guy in red. Poor fella. Luckily for him, there were more cars than people in the crowd.
