You couldn't fit in there 'flying over a paddock of ewes?"

I'm hoping that to make it truly unique, there is a powhiri as they run out, a pre-game haka and some cheerleaders, egged on by our new mascot, [B}Captain Phoenixcane.




Having previously donned the costume of the great Captain, I would be so keen to make this happen!

That is a false chin, right?

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

That's just mean.  Especially as I would ACTUALLY cry.  You could, however, buy it FOR me as a present =D

End of an era.  Vinnie - It's over.

If anyone cares for my inane babbling follow @iluvnix17 on the Twitter.

So it would seem that the Black Heart promo would be for a one off game where the rumour is we are wearing a black kit??I f this is the case, why didn't they just come out and say that?
 
"Hey, 29th we are wearing a 1 off kit that is entirely black that we are going to auction for charrity and we would like you to dress in black to support it."
 
That would have solved a truck load of angst (if this is in fact true)........................................
 
 
 
 
 
 
Agree with that....will give money but I will wear our home strip shirt for our  HOME GAME

Who else is up for a new contract apart from Manny?

And is the person so suggested Rojas was a possibility taking the piss or what?

Back-to-back away wins.
3rd in the league.
Formidable home record.
Local football club gate-share.
Daniel's 101st.
Black Out The Heart "theme".
Chariddy.

Dare we dream of 15,000???

I'll be talking to everyone I know every spare minute about the game. I know casuals who hardly ever attend that have already bought tickets. Signs are good!

If the weather is good, 15k should be likely...I've had emails from Wellington United (current club) and Karori about it, my mouth waters when I think about many people these will be going out to, considering most of them have families too.

The most important thing definitely is the away form, positive headlines and hopefully Manny's beaming mug on the front of the sports page today.

Special announcement:

"Did you see that? We kicked your arses bitches.

That was f**king epic man.

I'm so tired though. No sleep. Pretty wasted actually.

Anybody know a bar that's open yet?

Seriously, let's just get back on it dude.

Has anyone seen Manny? I left him in that strip club but he looked pretty fried.

So anyway, that's it. Just wanted to say all you Aussie pussy bitches can go get... ummmmm"

You were BORN  to be a journalist.

Sadly though, the crap thing is that this crappy All Black Day stunt will probably get credit for a good crowd, whereas of course the truth is that the good crowd will be there because we're winning, and third, and Manny is an Archangel (at least), and Ifill, Sanchez and Bertos are hitting better form. Just like every other year when we settle down and start winning, and the crowds increase. But anyway, as I am prone to saying......

Remember! We are the Mighty Phoenix!
We can beat anyone!

Don't agree with that but.

Parentheses? Do you mean quotation marks?
30 all.


Nope - I sneakily played my power play card just before Grandadi.

Game set and match to us old farts.

Never mind young ones - one day.


Ha! "But" is a (coordinating) conjunction, not a preposition.
I thought they used to teach properly back in the day, or I am just really old?

Game, set, & match to the really old fart.

Back on topic - Tinfoil hat time.
 
Could it be that the 'Black Out the Heart' day is timed to coincide with the new YF website launch? New website, new name 'Black Plague'? Feverish's being 'insulted' is just a smokescreen. We've already seen HN change sides easily, and, in this thread, have photgraphic evidence of him in new, black regalia.
 
BTW - how are we taking down 'high-flyers Melbourne Heart' when the Nix are above them on the table (at time of posting, at least)

Reminds me of the old joke:
 
Country bumpkin gets on a plane, and asks the snooty, bejewelled woman next to them, "Where are you going to?"
 
Snooty woman sniffs, and haughtily replies " One shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition."
 
Bumpkin thinks for a couple of minutes, then asks again, "Where are you going to, bitch?"

Auckland Anniversary Weekend next weekend. Should hopefully be a few northern Nix fans making the trip down. I'm planning on it. Probably the biggest game of the season so far, would be good get to get near 15,000. Depends on the weather I guess.

You sir are a truly erudite individual, and I though you were just a DJ in an 80's film noir. You clearly no beter inglish than a PhD in the subjek, so you are formally re-named-

The long range forecast is nothing but fine weather through that whole weekend.

Hopefully it will be a cracker.
