In The Zone - The End

I think it was disgusting.

lovin News's Billy T James laugh after the Ipswich result was mentioned

Christmas Time

Boxey has a whine

Should be playing Ifill with Stein

In The Zone reluctantly welcomes back Smithy to the hot seat as the Phoenix dish up a turd sandwich in their home loss to Sydney. Yes, Sydney! The pod dissects that, and looks ahead to the away trip to Adelaide. Meanwhile, Auckland City bow out admirably in the Club World Cup, and it's Tommy Smith V Chris Wood in the Championship. Locally, Otago record their first points at the expense of Team Wellington, and Waitakere and Canterbury lead the ASB Premiership race.

Pretty sure it was Nelsen who was having the tanty on the ground after QPR conceded the equaliser.

Apparently I have mad hacking skillz. Cool.

Girls only want boyfriends who have skills. 

Give me something to listen to.

 #InTheZone V38 is live at yellowfever.podomatic.com & Itunes bit.ly/YFZone. We talk total football, @WgtnPhoenixFC, & @ASBPremiership

As the Phoenix's new era of total football begins with a loss to Adelaide, the pod takes a look at that, the implications of the owners hands on approach, and ahead to the CCM match featuring the 12 Pubs of Lochhead. Internationally, Corinthians are champions of the world and Ryan Nelsen finally taste victory. While locally, Team Wellington drift off the pace after losing away to Hawkes Bay.

Chumbawumba!

Dullball at Westpac stadium. 

 not sure if this was somewhere else- but last years reasonable crowd in Auckland there were a lot of big bright yellow billboards with Ifill and Leo on from memory with the date and time clearly on it in big letters, and the match had to be delayed cos of so many walk ups.

I miss the know your academy player segment 

was thinking that as well

#InTheZone V39, the St. Nix Special, is live at yellowfever.podomatic.com & Itunes bit.ly/YFZone. We talk @WgtnPhoenixFC and @ALeague

On In The Zone this week, the Phoenix head into Christmas with a gift-wrapped present from Central Coast's keeper Matt Ryan. Elsewhere there's racism, hooliganism, Marco's magic, a hattrick from Mark Bridge and Kiwis abroad.

I actually thought the "compact format" worked pretty well this week...

First time I've listened to these. Excellent work guys, entertaining and informative. You need your own tv show.

Smithy needs to work on his spanish and indian accents

 News - that is  quality banner on the front page.

I thought it was made by one of you three in Paint...

 Close.  Me in Paint.  Still in Auckland and only have my work laptop to work on,

Live from Florida, the pod goes intercontinental to look back at the Phoenix's come from behind victory over Melbourne Heart, and the rest of A-league Christmas action including Marco Rojas' wonder strikes. Internationally, Chris Wood is set to move to Leicester, and the pod chats to New Zealand Olympic goalkeeper Michael O'Keeffe.

 Like how boxy sounds like a mouse at times due to quality (i.e squeeking)

Thanks lads. Cured my insomnia a treat

I hate Flo Rida!

Worst. Musician. EVER!!!

Great pun for a name though!

Back at work today? Why don't you give our podcast a crack to ease back into the working year?

In The Zone V41 is live at www.yellowfever.podomatic.com & Itunes bit.ly/YFZone.

In the wake of back to back losses in Australia, the pod takes a look at the performances against Brisbane Roar and Melbourne Victory, and what we can expect from the upcoming clash against Western Sydney. In Kiwis abroad, Chris Wood scores on debut, James Musa is loaned out, and is Ryan Nelsen heading to the MLS as a player-coach?

"Honking".  Like that, might start using this now.

Well done lads...appreciate the effort as always. Not easy doing international linkups and making it work! 

Love the hindsight on the new signing talk..

Back to Wednesdays?

I want my pod (although I am scared to listen to it this week after THAT performance - or lack of)

 Yes.  Recorded tonight after the Tornadoes got humped by a Galaxy side 2 years older than them so not a picture of good cheer.

Wouldn't expect anything else, considering the turd sandwich we served up on Sunday.

Still can't wait to hear your dulcet tones 

 In The Zone V42 is live at yellowfever.podomatic.com & Itunes bit.ly/YFZone.

As the Wellington Phoenix FC crash to last place following another home loss, the pod looks at our top 6 prospects. In Kiwis abroad, Ryan Nelsen is named as Toronto FC coach and Chris Wood bags a hattrick. While locally, the ASB Premiership kicks back into gear.

Should have interviewed Andy Boyens.

 Think at the time there was some anguish betwen the two groups so possibly not the best time.
