You shall not pass!

Sigh. That is all.

Anyway, I made up the title of this post before I began typing, so I might as well mould (mold?) this post around it.

At the beginning of every semester, I hear a voice. Not a quiet one. Heaven forbid, I'm not that fortunate. No. It is a ridiculously, excessively loud and angry voice, that screams in my head. "You shall not pass!" it says to me, the voice reverberating around my head. Then I scream "I shall defeat you!" At which point people on the train are already calling the nearest asylum.

I bet the Socceroos feel the same way, with a voice saying "You shall not pass!" But who takes the blame? The coach, who, pardon my bandwagon-jumpingness, seems to have no idea what he's doing? Or should the players be criticised for their clear lack of enthusiasm? Or even the FFA, who should have appointed not necessarily a better coach, but someone who at least has more experience (which would, in effect make them better)? Or is it an amalgamation of all these factors, combining in what looks like a very likely early exit from the comp? I don't know the answer, and neither should you. I would be pleasantly surprised if you did. But if you think you know, then drop us a comment.

Have a good term everyone. Ignore that voice of evil that expounds the filth of dark forgotten realms. You shall pass.
