Capital 1

And after everything I did to keep wharfies from being relegated last year

we had another good win against wainui, went up strong in the first half 4-0 after about 30 minutes, then sort of dropped off for the rest of the game, got the one goal in the second half where wainui came back very strongly, they have improved ten fold from last years and have a variety of handy players across the park, they will continue to upset teams for the season. chatham cup this weekend against olympic, going to be a very tough game but we will give it everything and olympic will have to be prepared to work very hard to take anything away from us

good call monkey we should have put shon on your no 10 from the start,enjoyed drinks after the game never seen a bottle of bourbon drunk so quickly, cheers

yeah I think thats a new record for a bottle of bourbon gone, definitely got me going for a big night hahahaha

Had a win over Karori 1 nil. To say that the number 1 pitch is a travesty is being generous. How we got moved onto it is beyond me.

But we both played on it, and the weather was the winner on the day. Just really glad to pinch a win while also getting in a 400 metre swim!

Probably a fair call their chopper - although the Waterside firsts haven't been playing that well of late - just check the results!

Preety massive weekend in Capital 1, Naenae losing 2 weeks in a row 2-0. Olympic just getting past Petone. It's all getting very interesting now!

Yeah interesting results. Diamonds are starting the climb up the table...

I saw the aftermatch speeches, does that count ?

I really did just 'see' the speeches.  I was trying to hide from Kingy in case he asked me to do the Masters one, so I saw them being made but didn't hear them.

I was told we were a bit average, plus missing Paul Wheeler which didn't help.  Monkey Boy may have some views but he could be biased.

Ok I'll go for a combo with a bias toward the first ingredient.

ok i'll try be a bit unbiased, too be honest, you guys are definitely not the hardest team we have played, however we played very very poorly and you guys turned up and really gave it everything to your credit...That 2nd free kick that you guys scored cuz our keeper muffed it was given because I absolutely hammered your striker in the box in a good tackle than said two words to him "get up" apparently you can't do that... you guys stuck it out and we deserved to lose though from our poor performance. btw tell your main striker to pass the ball and you could have had a couple more!

If that striker is who I think he is then not passing is the reason he's playing 2nds not 1sts. Doesn't sound like he's learnt his lesson! Thanks for the report.

BNU 3 Wharfies 0.....this arvo at Wakefield Park

WTF ?  Did you sprint from the match to a lap top ?

He was obviously appalled that you'd go down on him.

watched the olympic vs. petone game,

face the front, don't spill a drop!

nzsoccerscoreboard.com reports that Wainui beat Welly U 3-1 but was actually the other way...so their table is also false, obviously.

yes 3-1 to diamonds

They've changed it on the Capital Footy site now

Me...today... if I hadn't followed Rob I'd have looked class.

diamonds gaining momentum

I gotta say they didn't look too good, they will still get done by North Wellington and Naenae

Have you seen Naenae's form lately ?

I was gonna say...Welly U  beat Naenae away only 2 weeks ago. To be fair we didn't look that good on Sat v Wainui but we stil scored 3 good goals and gave away a shocker. Nth Wgtn this weekend though, will be interesting.

sorry to say diamonds but I expect northern to beat you guys, we had a scrappy game versus stokes valley, 2-1 final result, was really a tight game until about 5 minutes out our right winger placed a free kick straight on the keeper the wind pushed it around a bit and put it in the back of the net, wasn't really a great day for football neither team had out and out chances but was more a battle in the midfield. back to petone next week, think they will be looking to get some credibility on us over their first round score
