What's the process of breaking in new fullbacks.  Do you just leave it to Sig to yell at them, or do you have some input?

How much out of pocket cash do you and Sig give Riera each week for making your match day experience so much more fun?

And is the combined $sum from you and Sig more or less than the amount Vince coughs up for the cover?

Is there an Aussie Kiwi thing going on in the team, or have you Aussies already learnt not to sledge so much?

Supplementary question: will you be backing the Black Caps or the baggie greens in the cricket world cup?

For a future podcast, get Dewhurst in there to explain his style of alleged commentary.

Ps, and for the insomniacs out there, do one with deJong. The monotone bland voice is guaranteed to put the listeners to sleep within 5 minutes.

Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

Dewhurst: I love his inane comments like "and its all square as they head for the sheds.....". Must've taken tips from Ron "jumpers for goal posts, isn't it, what" Manager.

Ron Manager talks hooliganism

Andrew, Now that youre a Kiwi do you feel the need to celebrate uncontrollably when other athletes or sporting teams representing NZ finish 3rd in their respective events?

I believe the FFA should merge the Jest and the Mariners, call the newly created team the Sea Planes, and base them somewhere on the southern end of Lake Macquarie, possibly Morisset. This would mean that they are only supporting one financial liability and not two.

Do you think this could work?

I'm sure Smithy would be asking other questions of de Jong re policies he implemented IIRC

Would be anything but sleep inducing.

As a former Jet, are you worried about the future of the club & should the FFA step in?

How did you find your early days in the Phoenix coming straight in as club captain and then similar in the AWs coming straight in as a convict that was naturalised to ordinary civilian status.

Another way to ask that question: Andrew, now that you're a Kiwi, have you shaken off the (usually unjustified) sense of superiority and entitlement felt by your countrymen? Do you find you're now able to look realistically at your country and its achievements?
