Who does everyone think the Phoenix will develop the fiercest
rivalry with?
Any ideas?
No local derby, so it will have to be for some other
reason.
Any ideas?
It will be the team that annoys the fans in Wellington the most.
The first side that plays the Phoenix and cons the ref, performs
histronics or heaven forbid, throws the ball in underarm...
I do recall the Kningz being screwed somewhat by a certain
Melbourne coach and his big-name signings that never showed
up....Boutsianis and Kalagorakis.
Hahaha I even have Con Boutsianis full home Kingz kit as a
permanent reminder of that episode.
I'm not sure what will happen. Possibly Sydney Fc as they are
the easiest side to get to from Wellington?
The Perth Pansies - because Charlie Smith moved there - reason
enough.

I was involved in the local organisation in Taranaki when we
brought the Kingz to New Plymouth a few years back to play against
Adelaide.
True to form the Kingz got torn to itty bitty pieces and lost
3-0, ever since then and following some of the after match commnets
reguarding the playiung surface (it was too smooth and flat and had
an even bounce lol.) I have hated the sight of Adelaide.
So for me I most desperately want to see Adelaide humiliated
hence I vote for them as our grudge match team.
That was Adelaide City who are very different to Adelaide United
and still play in Adelaide domestic football.

I hate cocky. The cockiest team right now is definetly Melbourne. The Name Melbourne Victory just oozes cockyness. If we are gonna hate anyone, MV would be my first choice, if not them then Queensland Roar or Central Coast Mariners

Bring it.
Don't worry, its healthy to hate the best team in the comp
Hard to judge just yet Nembo. It really depends on which signings we make and how effectivly we use the 4 foreigner spots.
With my wifes family coming from Newcastle im already getting
plenty of stick from Jets fans.So in this house the most important
games for us to win will be those.If the unthinkable should happen
and both the Phoenix and Warriors loose to Newcastle i will become
selectively deaf very quickly.
GET YOUR SHIRTS OFF FOR THE BOYS
haha, nice comeback. When was the last time NZ got as high as 7th?
Hopefully you sign some of our rejects, guys like Ferrante, Byrnes,
Lia, Recchia, Vlahos and Diaco should improve your fortunes.
you guys need to find someone to hate who will hate you back
equally in return.
as rivalries stands at the moment. (to my knowledge) feel free to correct me.

queensland sydney? newcastle? melbourne? (really dont know with these guys, no hated rivals? should change when a gold coast or townsville team comes in
perth. adelaide?? (again not too sure)
wellington judgeing by this your best bet for a rival (someone who may pay some attention to you) is perth, but due to the distance it isnt exactly a local derby is it. maybe Queensland but they have have enough on their plate when more queensland teams come in.

We could just go for the 'everyones 2nd favourite' tag seeing as
local rivals are unlikely. We have enough people out there in
all the fanbases that spout the 'there's no NZ in A-League'
rubbish.
Me, I'll be hurling insults at every opposition side and players with the possible exception of any kiwi's visiting.

Amen. I'm looking forward to coming 'home' for an away game.
I've never been to the cake-tin, so I'm curious to see what it's
like.
If Perth blame us for Jeremy Christie they may see us as rivals...
Melbourne - Fecking Tards - I hate them.
Musc*nt and Thompson - arrrgghh, Nuking Tardistan is too good for them
Musc*nt and Thompson - arrrgghh, Nuking Tardistan is too good for them
When Hibs, went up, to win the Scottish Cup - I wisnae there - furfuxake!
mmm... Thompson... you make a strong argument despite your Sydney
loyalty Eejit... Thompson's goal celebration alone is the
Gheyest thing in the A-League .
Perth - they are way out West and we are way out East
mmm... Thompson... you make a strong argument despite your Sydney
loyalty Eejit... Thompson's goal celebration alone is the
Gheyest thing in the A-League .
With my compliments...
Everyone hates Sydney - there's no fun in having them as a
rival.
Gentlemen I dare say that the team that hates you the most has yet
to play. There will be some sparks flying for sure when
Wellington plays Tropical Football or whatever they end up being
called up in Queensland in 08/09.
I've had some ideas
Central Coast Mariners, battle of the Yellow uniforms
Newcastle battle of the flying mascots (jets/phoenix)
Perth (distance derby)
Queensland (team who the Knights did best against)
I cannot come up with any reason for rivalry with Adeliade as
they no longer have Kosmina to hate.
Sydeny (Melbourne, Adelaide, Central Coast, Newcastle,
Queenland)
and Melbourne (Sydney, Adelaide everyone)
both seem to have enough rivalries already.
If Canberra gets a team you could have battle of the
capitals.
"Bring on the South East derby - Melbourne v Wellington. "
Well said.
The Wellington City Council are promoting the Siste City line
there too, so that makes sense (Akl = Sydney)
And given they're the champs we might as well aim
high...

you cam hate us if you want, and yes i think wellington is in some
ways like melbourne but smaller, but we really wont regard you as
rivals, so it will be a very 1 sided rivalry. pick a dfferent team.
perthdoesnt have anyone, you guys have had to play off for the
wooden spoon last season.
I'm doing a pretty good job at trying to get all you Kiwis to hate
Sydney FC and build up a bit of a rivalry aren't I!!!
(If you don't know what I'm talking about read some of my
other posts, all jokes though, though I've only been to NZ once,
and then only to the Sth Island, I love your country.)
Your signature has the incorrect spelling of Football Kingz....Kinz
is some sort of Scottish word
Hey yeah, thanks. Well, everyone knows what I meant anyway.
if canberra ever join, i guess you could have a 'capital city
rivalry' along with the 2nd NZ team.
there's no reason to have a rivalry with us when you have no
chance of winning what so ever. NZ teams are yet to take a point
off us. Melbourne > Wellington in every way. Sorry if the truth
hurts.
Get it right cobber. or should I say Sheila (politically
correctness). The old Football Kingz gave South Melbourne a good
old footballing lesson winning 3-2 away from home, many years
ago in the precurser to the A-League...the NSL (which was your
highest level of football at the time.
It was a fantastic result considering everything went against
the Kingz, with the plane breaking down (must have been Qantas)
then having to take a second plane to Melbourne (Air New Zealand
naturally), getting changed on the bus whilst on the way to the
ground, Shane Rufers infamous "pull your machine guns out of your
violin cases and shoot the opposition" speech on the bus, followed
up by said footballing lesson. All recorded by the House Of
Football in what is still one of the best pieces of football
journalism this country has ever seen.
I'm afraid to say there are just too many Austalian fans with
short memories. If you're gonna post this sort of stuff you've got
to be prepared to take some flak.
It must pain you to be a Melbournian being that that is the
city famed for the world cup result against Iran that saw you fail
to qualify for the World Cup. The truth hurts bro.
Melbourne - Fecking Tards - I hate them.Musc*nt and Thompson -
arrrgghh, Nuking Tardistan is too good for them
You're not jumping ship on us are you? Just cause you actually have a team where you live now?

relax mate! wheres that kiwi sense of humour gone.
i meant nz is yet to take a point off melbourne victory. i
really hope wellington succeed for the good of the league. i was
just having some fun mate.
any way. just take a breath, relax and go find your girlfirend
or ewe, which ever you prefer!!!!
Hey the sense of humour is still there dude. Little Britain is
funny but suggesting the the Phoenix have no chance of beating the
Victory is just asking for egg on your face. Thats the sort of
comment I'd expect from a 5 year old and I'm sure you are a little
older than that. Watch out for Michael Jackson though, he likes em
young! I'm sure my wife will appreciate being referred to as a
sheep. Sheep jokes are lame, especially coming from Australians.
You've got more sheep that us for starters. Manky looking things
too. It's no wonder the Aussie Butcher has to get his meat from
this side of the Tassie, as
you can barely get a good feed off one of yours. Just shows
how lazy you are getting with your humour. You could at least put a
bit of effort into it:-p
You can expect the mother of all postings should the Phoenix
take a point of your thuper duper Victory. I'll celebrate a Phoenix
win over Victory buy eating one of your national animals - the
Kangaroo. In fact all Kiwis should buy a roo, eat it and lets see
if we can make them extinct. Try eatin a Kiwi brother....you won't
find them on the menu anywhere.
OK your turn now....

thats
more like it. 
will that post have lots of 'yea bro' in it. im
loving that nz accent. i bag my friend all day at work!
wellington pheonix will not be taking a point off the VICTORY
this year my friend,
How about THREE points then? And I hope you are using plenty of
olive oil whilst bagging your friend.Oh and since you
are seem to be able to see into the future can you tell me if
Dr Who and Rose actually get to shag?
You lot seem to becoming everyones 2nd favourite team, something
that we have seemingly been labelled with by a lot of people in the
first 2 seasons, so perhaps we can be rivals for that reason
alone.
all im trying to do mate, is develop a healthy rivalry.
i cant wait to get over to wellington and see my team play against
a proud kiwi side. thats what im looking forward to in V3...
and winning the double again.
