Jessie Fink on the Nix

Jessie Fink prehaps the best blogg writer in Australia ... and a person who has written a number of books on Australian has written an interesting blogg about the Nix see attached link ... some interesting comments follow .... fell free to add NZ tho's as well .... BTW as this is an online newspaper your first post can take some time.

really positive article - he has a lot of faith in us with his predicition of a 12-20,000 crowd, "if not more" for the adelaide game though.

Jesse has no i in it. Get it right

I hadn't noticed Van Egmonts comments about the Nix until re-reading the article on Stuff.... basically writes us off for play off contention unless other teams have serious injury or suspensions! This coming after we beat his side three nil with Durante and Mckain unavailable for the same reason and with his team sitting dead last - cheeky prick

Christ, the stocks their have got thin then.

Infamous for a long lecture on how the Phoenix logo had blatant Nazi connotations and innumerable other questionable postings over the last few years.

Stick with the Football tragic (now he's back) and you will do much better... and he's less likely to throw a tanty if someone says something bad about his writing.

I didn't think van egmond was really that far off the mark. Bit ungracious obviously but isn't h saying what we've all been thinking )other than the fact that we think that we CAN get somewhere if we make the playoffs)?

Fink's changed his tune a bit recently though news, been pretty supportive and even saw fit to argue against bloody Les Murray (I'm sure old Les wouldn't like that) in his blog on SBS, arguing that we should remain in the comp. Les predictably decided to support Bin Hamman.

As an aside, where the hell does Les Murray come from (and get off)?james dean2009-01-08 10:22:39

van Egmond needs to go back and watch his team in the middle of the season... awful, awful long ball rubbish.  SOme of the worst I've seen in the A-League.

Mans a twat, best ignored.

Oh,and Normo.  Hungary

+1 - don't remind me!

I'd be more inclined to give Van Egmonds words a listen to than someone like say... Kosmina who thinks that his team thrashes everyone all over the pitch every week except in the goal count.

Go back to the JF article. He's right. We've got something great and positive her in Phoenix. It's up to us to fully embrace it. My friend who was down from Auckland, a couple of weeks ago, kept commenting on the number of people he saw wearing Phoenix gear. AS he put it "Wellington is into Phoenix isn't it?".

Interestingly, Spiro Zavos comments, in the replies to the JF article, I didn't know he ever knew what football was.
