If a year ago I told you...

that....

1. The Nix would not be towards the bottom of the table at the end of the season.
2. The Nix would get into the finals
3. The Nix would finish 4th on the table and 3rd in the final
4. The Nix would be unbeaten at Westpac for a stupidly long amount of time
4. New Zealand would qualify for the world cup
5. New Zealand would not lose to Italy, Paraguay or Slovakia
6. New Zealand would be the only team to not lose at the world cup
7. The Nix have one of the strongest squads in the a-league for the 10-11 season

I'd probably be put into a padded cell.

You would also be a millionaire and New Zealands answer to Paul the Octopus 

Do you like mussels Therk?

I've got a pottle of them in the fridge, yours if you like. Just a couple of questions to ask you first...

Chuck in there: The nix would sell out at the RoF

Also that NZ would beat a full-strength top-10 ranked UEFA team in a World Cup warm-up.

To be honest, it kind of feels like the only way is down.

:pedantic mode:

Serbia were neither full strength, nor a top 10 UEFA nation when we played them in Klagenfurt.

The only disappointment this year will be after we have won the GF and the AFC still deny us Asian Champions League.

"1. The Nix would not be towards the bottom of the table at the end of the season."

This one was kind of expected I think but all the others have been great.

Oh... so they were 11th?

How about NZ beat a top UEFA team in a World Cup warm-up game causing the Serbian supporters to 'riot', having to be pacified by a Nemanja Vidi? speech on the field during the game.

Doesn't take much for Serbs to riot.

And yeah, they were the 11th ranked team from Europe on the FIFA ranking table when we played them in late May.
