Watching the Phoenix women's reserves atm and they're almost as stroppy as the men, so I can definitely say it's a phoenix thing.
Some, yeah. Parents more so.
Just interested how you know they all have fake English accents? Fact of the matter is that the skipper of the Reserves last year and this year's skipper are both English. I know for a fact that none of the others "have developed an English accent to fit in with the cool kids." Those that have English accents are English and they are in the minority. But hey don't let the facts get in the way of a good story! Some of the vitriol directed at the kids is disappointing. Fully understand the frustration from grassroots supporters with the Phoenix and its Academy and their perceived arrogance and disregard for the grassroots game but think directing this at the kids is juvenile. Tall poppy and a hint of envy maybe?

I wasn't the one that suggested they had fake accents, in fact I said that the ones I heard were genuine. Maybe learn to look at who's posting before typing a novel.
Also if you're offended by the idea that kids might develop certain accents and ways of talking to fit into an in-group then you clearly need some better shark to get offended by.
