Has anyone remembered Friday night?

Has anyone remembered Friday night?

We play Adelaide ffs in a massive match

Yeah i'm more interested in this game. Just happy I have 2 games to watch instead of one this weekend :D!

we need this game like its a final as we really need 3 in a row at home. 

Feverish, I have my ticket for that match! After all it is more important.

well you do have your priorities right

sorry but we need the win more.   2-1 reds win. agostino and cassio if his back to score.

Yes bang on Feverish! The Adelaide game is massive for us.  We MUST win, so the lads will really need the support of a hopefully big crowd.  That will set things up nicely for a third win over Perth and I would just love us to burst Queensland's bubble too!!!!!  The Golden balls show is nothing more than an interesting sideshow compared to our mission in the A League!!! Go the Nix!!!!!

COME ON THE PHOENIX

Who are Adelaide, I thought our priority was to ensure there were plenty of photo oppos for Prenderghastly and Helen with LA Beckham in town.

That's a shame

Hope you get your win...against Melbourne. As for Friday's match (which definatly >Galaxy IMHO), you might need it more but there's no way on earth we don't want it more. Best of luck eh?

Only going to the Galaxy game because when I bought my Adelaide ticket, I got the other one free.

WIN!

Goals, goals, goals.  There will be plenty. 

here here the game on friday is way more importanat i totally agree - well said feverish!!

More seriously, we shouldn't totally give up on top 4 just yet.  Assuming Mariners and Queensland take two spots, to get there we would need to overhaul three of Adelaide, Newcastle, Sydney and Melbourne.  Adelaide lead this group and are six points ahead of Phoenix.  Win, and they are 3 pts ahead with six games to play.  Achievable.  Otherwise it really is a long shot.

So Feverish is right, massive game.

I came down for the last Adelaide game.  Frankly we were lucky to get 2-2.  Could have been 0-3 at halftime.  Adelaide midfield had so much more time on the ball.  Fortunately, Bajic, their keeper, looked shakey.  You should have seen the stick he got on the Adelaide forum afterwards, and I don't think he has been first choice since. 

However, you'd also have to say the Phoenix now look a much more balanced side.  If Rees can shore up defence, and with Elrich to give penetration down both flanks rather than just down left, stringing together a few wins is not impossible.  Plus AW games behind us.  I also suspect Phoenix are one of the few teams with a complete squad to choose from at present - Adelaide will be weaker than last time.

Can't wait.

Spot on.  Friday night is a huge game.  If both the Phoenix and the Roar win (the two home teams on Frday night), then we are only 3 points off the play-offs.  3  points and 6 games to go.

Yep, the Adelaide game is what's important this weekend. The Beckham game is a mere sideshow as far as I'm concerned, though I'm still going to both.

Absolutely - Friday is THE game, Saturday is a party - just like the sevens - you don't go for the rugby, you go for the party.

We need to win on Friday FULL STOP. With a big crowd behind us, we should do that. then we have two more home games to drive it home - 3 games, 9 points

Having said that -I am off to the Saturday "event" too, and am looking forward to it.

As Gordon Tietjens said, if you get bored you can always watch the football...

sh*t, I just found out my ticket for Friday night it Aisle 24 Row T. Oh well at least I'll be able to look over at the YF fans, might even meet some of the Greeks too! Lonegunmen2007-11-27 21:47:33

Tonight, in a pizza place in the Hutt, I heard two people talking about Phoenix.So I eavesdropped.  They were both talking about "the match". Both describing their "feeling nervous" and "crowd should be big" and "can't wait for it" then I realised they were talking about FRIDAY!!!   YES!!  That's the attitude!!

The Easybeats - Friday On My Mind Lysergic_Bliss2007-11-27 22:25:36

YES!! as you say this town is getting the Phoenix attitude!!

Beckham lifts the profile, which gives the club and us a huge opportunity to push the drug that is A=League football 

Phoenix 3 Adelaide 1  Rees, Daniel, Felipe,

I have a great feeling about Friday night......just think we've turned the corner this season with Elrich and Rees coming in, Lia starting to find form and we are long overdue a beauty from Daniel and Felipe.....imagine when they all fire on Friday night and link magically with Smeltz, Brown etc.....

I feel a repeat of the treat that was watching us against Perth at home........

FOUR ONE....TOOOO THE PHOEEEE-NIIIIX

yep, I'm persuaded! I'll add smeltz to my list of scorers!!

I think the players are in for a good surprise. A large crowd and a lot of noise! Hopefully enough to lift them on a higher plane. I hope too that the "extra" fans take the chance to join in with the singing!

The only thing they will join in with is "clap, clap etc Phoenix"!

I'll hope to see you boys in the BB beforehand, but then its aisle 11 for me!! I hope other ppl over there know the yf chants.

Like Lonegunmen we've only got tickets for the Friday "proper" game - went and got them today in fact. Mainly because we can't afford the Galaxy prices ($50 all in for a family ticket for all of us to go on Friday, as opposed to $215 odd for Galaxy + Adelaide - no contest!), but also because as an Englishman not long arrived here, exhibition games in football have never even entered my thinking (apart from being aware than Man Utd/Chelsea etc play them for money in Asia/USA etc in the off season - and I've always wondered why anyone goes to the games!). Maybe the Harlem Globetrotters made sense but ... (showing my age there!)

Anyway here's hoping that a good number of the "virgins" who've got tickets for Friday thrown in with their Galaxy ticket actually come on Friday - it would be great to see a really big crowd for a real game, even if they're a bit quiet!

Looking forward to a great night - Go go the Nix!

PS will still watch the Galaxy game on TV, so make a lot of noise lads (and lasses)!
      

enjoy the games OOE!!,

I reckon those that are travelling down/up/sideways for this weekend are in for a real treat

Yes to that!!!!
If we can the whole place roaring it will be the best way to begin the run to the top four!

Of course we've remembered Friday night.  Out shopping for the new LA Galaxy gear for Saturday, flash haircut, new tattoo, shopping with the Mrs for her outfit, charge up the camera and cell phone, last minute session on the sun bed, buy prawns for the sandwich.  How silly do you think we are that we'd forget last minute preparations on Friday for the big game against LA?

Nice

Had to go the Hutt this morning. Took the bus. Two girls from Sacred Heart College were talking football. One was going to both of this weekend's games. The other was only going to one... Friday. 

The BOTH ticket holder made my day, though, when she said "if we don't win on Friday I won't enjoy Saturday one bit..." 

I'm just fizzing about this weekend, two home games preceeding another two Friday night home games - its all good, Had my tickets to the Adelaide game for weeks, Galaxy game is an additional bonus.

Yep looking forward to the Adelaide game it should be a good competitive game albeit in a somewhat surreal environment due to the fact that we are playing a friendly the next day,i'm sure this must be a first of some sort? 
I'm not  going to the other game as its not really my thing so i will be giving my ticket away tomorrow!
