In 1866 a gazetteer described Thebarton as "a postal suburb of the City of Adelaide. The district is an agricultural one, crops of hay being the principal produce... There is a fellmongery and a tannery [Peacock's]... and a considerable number are engaged in gardening... Thebarton has two hotels - the Wheatsheaf and the Squatters' Arms... The population, including that of the surrounding agricultural neighbourhood, numbers about 450 persons." The Wheatsheaf had been built by the miller, William Gardiner, and opened for business in 1844 "for the purpose of affording accommodation to the numerous country settlers frequenting the mill at Thebarton [sic]." It was demolished and a new building of two storeys erected in 1922; the site occupied by the old structure is now a car park.
The acceptance of Thebarton with an 'a' instead of an 'e' is credited to a typographical error and not the some time held view that it was a corruption of 'The Barton' based on the Old English bere-tunmeaning 'barley farm'.

Don't like people's opinions on a general discussion thread, don't read them.
edit: and the discussion was brought up in response to coverage on eastern states produced programs that are shown nationally, not the actual game itself.

I'm sitting on the Spurs side of the fence, because I have an intense dislike of LeBron James. Having Baynes and Mills on the Spurs' roster only sweetens the deal for me.

Its funny how you can have a real hated for team/players that you have never seen live or sports that you arent as passionate about.
BUT
The San Antonio Spurs are one of my most hated sporting teams in the world ever since i was little, must be because they were black and white (port & collingwood) and being a West Ham fan anything with the name Spurs in it is judas! I cant stand em.
