Am I missing something? Where is the discussion about last nights game. Can't see a Melbourne thread. Put me straight, someone, if I've got it wrong, but we see to be treating that game as if it never existed. What gives?

Yeah but seeing as we're all here I think we should use this thread as a place for the more off-beat theories about why we lost to Melbourne and missed the play-offs in general. So here goes.

1. We are just f**king around with this whole "Phoenix City" as the theme song issue. We had a good patch last season but now the club is just taking the piss. I've barely heard it at the ground this season. A new low was reached before the home game against Adelaide when the first few bars were played before it was cut off for that f**king w**ker Dario G. This is just disrespectful and f**king around with cosmic forces that cannot be good for the club's overall mojo.

2. Ricki Herbert is great but he talks in f**king riddles all the time. He uses too much new-age coaching gobbledegook and never says anything straight-forward and cool like "the team we're playing this week are a bunch of f**king c**ts and I hate their coach and we're gonna smash them". More straight talking and more passion from Ricki from now on please.

3. Our strip sucks. Black is not a good colour unless you're a goth. There is some good goth music but not enough to justify dressing a football team like that. When the FFA were desperate to get a NZ team in the league and Terry was the only one prepared to put up the cash he should have just said "f**k off, we're gonna play in yellow or we're not entering. Tell those other yellow teams to change to black if you want. Central Coast and Newcastle are just sh*tty, one-horse towns anyway. We're the capital city of a whole f**king country you dicks, so show some f**king respect!". The strip thing better be sorted by next season because it is majorly sucking our life-force.

4. We play too many games on Sundays and everyone knows playing on Sunday is un-godly. I don't mind a bit of un-godly behaviour now and then but not all the f**king time. What do you expect God to do? Just sit back and take that sh*t? No way. For example, when Troy Hearfield head-butted Alex Brosque it was because God pushed him in the back. When need to play more games on Friday night when even God is out on the lash.

That's just off the top of my head. Anyone else got any theories?

Ermm...

The grass is too long.
The pitch is too wide.
It was too hot during certain games.
It was too cold during certain games.
The match balls were too light.

That's about all i can think of for now.

Three for me, and two for them.

there were no cookies in the changing rooms and the oranges had pips in them at halftime
W.A.G's weren't allowed in the hotel rooms
they had to stow their own luggage on the team bus and polish their own boots
they were petrified a lion may escape from the zoo when training causing most to hide in their cars for large periods
they didn't like the fact everyone else (apart from the stadium staff) got sundays off and they had to work
Budha doesn't like the phoenix
