Our editor Paul Hansford is copping more abuse than Mark Shield at the moment after leaving Mark Viduka out of our Top 25 Australians of All Time. He's even taken to wearing a mask in the office (it's an improvement actually).
Many would say he deserves the abuse. But the best way to get your message across is to vote in our Top 5 Aussies poll - remember to share your reasoning too. And if you happen to agree with us - and there have been plenty who do - we want to hear from you too!

Kewell 'Back Next Week'
He pops in and out more often that Marty McFly in his De Lorean but, at present at least, it looks like Harry Kewell is on his way back. New injuries, um, I mean developments next week no doubt...

Bridges Harbours Juninho Hope
Read this just for the headline - Bridges, Harbour... dear, oh dear. More importantly Sydney FC have a new hope. This guy once had potential. Leeds spent $12m on him... but then, they went bust, didn't they?

Russia Punish Sloppy England
The world's gone crazy. England could win the Rugby World Cup but look likely to fail to even qualify for Euro 2008 after an impressive comback from Russia. Also, check out the other action from the other Euro qualifiers here.

Football Manager 2008
Don't get me wrong, I love games like FIFA 08, but I'd actually rather sit in the stands, terminate player contracts, halve the trainers' salaries and build stadiums with flash corporate boxes. Check out the trailer of Football Manager 2008 then get a limited edition demo of the game free with the December issue of FourFourTwo, out on November 7.

Bosnich Could Be A Socceroo Again - Arnold
Well he might not be in charge of the Socceroos anymore but if Graham Arnold says Bosnich could make it back into the Green & Gold then we're not going to argue. Better order the material for the uniform now just in case.

Del Piero Pens Juve Deal
In an era of transfers and short stays, it's refreshing to see a legend of the game stick with one club for more than 500 games. Alessandro del Piero is set to finish his career at Juve after signing a two-year contract extension.

Milligan Is Sticking With Sydney
And it's also great to see that we'll get to watch Olyroos and Sydney FC star Mark Milligan up close for at least a little bit longer, after he's pledged to stay at the club until at least the end of the season.

Dwight Sells Sydney To Bridges
With Dwight Yorke acting as Sydney FC's unofficial recruitment officer in the UK at least their future imports should have a pretty good understanding of where Sydney's hottest bars are from the moment they land.

Forgive Us John, Say Adelaide
Nothing like an injury crisis to get the humble pie baking. Adelaide United hope to heal the bitter rift with the Aloisi clan to get their hands on John. The old club over sibling debate...
