RED FACED PHOENIX CRASH
RED FACED PHOENIX CRASH
What a load of tripe! An Aussie must have written this
headline!!!!!
Worse thing is I suspect it wasn't. Most of the Australian
items have been accenting the positives of the Phoenix
display. The negative stuff has all come from this side of
the Tasman.
See my post in the general forum.
There are some right b*stards in the NZ media, and they are
coming to the fore now. Both those articles were written by NZPA,
which is then circulated through the country - and is what most
Kiwis outside Wellington will have read.
Fortunately though, the most important media is the Wellington
local rag and they are doing the Phoenix proud.
Go Fred
The articles/reports I've seen up here haven't exactly been
encouraging. B******s,
Yes I had a sneaking feeling that the upallatable truth was that
some Rugby mad journo's were responsible when I noticed that the
story came from NZPA. As journalists they need to be shot!!!
Fred Woodcock's articles are always very well written and
balanced. The only red faces will be those journos for
writing such tripe, when the Phoenix gels and wins the
A-League!
Somehow I don't think it will just be the rugby journo's that will
write BS like that.
I'm sure there will be more than just a few people north of
the Bombays, journo's included, who would like nothing more than to
see the Phoenix fail.
I don't suspect so Malky. You have to remember that apart
from about 1500 faithful no-one North ofthe Bombasy gave a sh*t
about the A-League. I can't see them wanting a failure, more
just a complete disinterest in it.
Oh, except for a few of the more ignorant Auckland City fans (and one player) who are just laughable.
Note Buffy and Co. I say only a few, most of you are quality individuals, even Chanter

Looks like a Jafa plot to me
All media are scum. Even the media who try their hardest
to be honest jokers, to tell it like it is, bless their liddle
'earts, but they're part of a big evil machine that is bigger and
more evil than most of them could ever hope to do anything
about.
Pretty much like Man U, really. *ducks*
So did anyone actually watch the game? We all got the match
reports, but what we all want to know is, was it entertaining
foosball?
I'm sure that you're probably got a point there Malky.
There's probably a few jafas snickering over their lattes down
Ponsonby road at the Mariners result. Not sure about tall poppy
syndrome, I think its a case of cut down any poppy
starting to rise! You may not be too far from the truth about
some Aucklanders secretly hoping the Phoenix fail
either. I'm originally from Auckland but escaped to Welly 5
years ago hallelujah! Never going back. The reason there's
football disinterest in Auckland is that they all have their
calculators out, working out their net worth and can they fit in
another investment property and should they sell one of their four
cars! I'm probably way over the top but you get the
picture. One of my siblings up there is one of the worst
offenders I'm afraid to say! All the more reason we MUST
ensure the Wellington Phoenix succeeds in this and coming
seasons. As for the media, I'd like to believe that there's
some good ones out there!
