2025 season therapy thread

Tim Brown goals:

Siggie’s Christchurch goal from the crowd:

"I know we’ve been on Chief’s case a little this season, but he seems to have a simpler philosophy than Uffie in that it’s defence first, which wins titles, and then winning by one or two. If we back him, I think we have a great shot at winning in the next two seasons."

Moved past the denial stage of grief yet martinb? I'm still in the anger phase and could definitely use some therapy

Edit: nah I might have skipped bargaining and gone straight to depression. Appreciating this thread

Burnsy:

Krishna’s on fire!

Like paddling in a boat with one oar mate. Round and round in circles. 

Great crowd, great weather. They just want some entertaining football. 

That said, we finish the year well with this new guy and Payney and potentially Rufes back, and Chief has earned at least one more year off the back of last season. Probably. Nah, seems I’m still swimming that Egyptian river!

Can’t take away the bangers against Melbourne and the dribblers against Sydney! Phoenix legend. In the bank.

Trying to find that Manny Muscat goal where he looks up like Cantona, shocked that he’s scored it! 

Kosta last season:

Maldini? Played with Libby at Empoli yeh?

Also:

Monto telling me to leave it out in the other thread.

The purity of a Davy Williams strike. 

Remember when Kosta scored in five straight games. What a wonderful time.

Kosta last season:

He’s got 7 this season too. And even though both the team and his scoring rate has dropped off, he’s still not out of golden boot contention. 

But our next best is Ishige with two. We need one or two more regular scorers and we’re back at the top table.

Polar opposite to top of the table Auckland, who are spreading around the goals.

Their best Moreno (5 goals), then May (4), Pijnaker, Rogerson & Brimmer all with 3.

Still we’re kinda like Forest- just 1 different really: 

Wood 17
MGW-5
Elanga & Callum H-O- 3 a piece 
Then a bunch of smaller contributors…

It’s actually mental how many goals some teams have scored. 

Sydney, WSW and MacArthur sure don’t let you down for excitement! 

Sydney have 6 scorers compared to us with just Kosta, ahead of Ishige. That’s either a testament to how good our defense has been or how open they’ve been to create all those chances.

And Auckland even more so to be table toppers without a form striker.

It is therapy, because these goals are our history not AFC history.  They do not even have one yet. And when they do, it will not feature Tim Brown goals.

Signing a new classy import. A good pick-me-up.
