FOund it ..for anyone interested

agree - it's epic!

and btw - so is the beer that accompanies this evenings webbery

Heart 1 nil over GCU and are now 3 points behind us.  

Melbourne Heart 1 GCU 0

Our goal difference is a major asset....what ever happens and we do lose games we need to keep it tight and hopefully only go down by a goal. We still have a +5 goal difference over 5th place Heart.

We could be fourth at the end of this round.

You're just testing to see if we're alert now aren't you LF1 ?

Lost games,against goals and goal difference all need adjusting Hell that was last nights game!!

this may sound a bit doomsday-ish, but next week's game could well be a battle for a playoff spot... any playoff spot...

Disappointing to have dropped both, but I don't think they were down to complacency on our part. CCM/Brisbane have been setting the benchmark for the last two seasons and us being in second was a slight mirage tbf.

All things considered a playoff spot will represent a great achievement given the adversity we have faced on and off the field over the past few months. We're still in a good spot to get a home final, and anything can happen from there, as we saw in early 2010.WPFC12012-02-19 00:38:06

fcuk we're 4th.  God I'm depressed.

Where's LF1, no updates (and his twitter posts say he was watching last night)

were stalking you piney, we know you're lurking, show yourself!

CCM 2 Wellington Phoenix 0 Brisbane Roar 3 Melbourne Victory 2 Perth Glory 2 Newcastle Jets 0

Glory v Roar & Heart v CCM next weekend, so we can make up some ground by beating Sydney. If we don't get 3 points there, I think we can kiss the top 4 goodbye.

Whatever happens over the next few weeks I will not sleep easily until we are mathematically safe, preferably safely nestled in the Top 4.

If Sydney FC lose today, CCM will be the first team to be confirmed in the playoffs. Failing that, if they beat GCU on Wednesday, they will be in the playoffs.

I think that if we beat Sydney and Melb Heart over next two weeks we will be Top 6 (39pts).

3 wins from 5 would almost do us for Top 4 in my opinion!

If Sydney win today, we will find ourselves in a very delicate position heading into the next game.

All home teams have won their games this round.  Adelaide should continue the trend, come on cakes do us a favour!  Plus Victory would be 2nd from bottom.


BTW, thanks LF1 for updating the table.

After 22 games...

.

I would not be disappointed with 5th or 6th.

I'd take 5th and 6th but would be slightly tinghed with disappointment considering we were 2nd for 2 weeks.  It's hard coming down when you've been there.  I just want us to make the playoffs at the very least.

Rank Team Average Points of remaining opposition
1 Brisbane Roar 26.000 2 Newcastle Jets 26.200 3 Central Coast Mariners 27.500 4 Melbourne Victory 28.000 5 Wellington Phoenix 28.600 6 Perth Glory 28.800 7 Sydney FC 31.800 8 Melbourne Heart 33.400 9 Gold Coast United 33.500 10 Adelaide United 34.600

The table now is making me choke.

Adelaide United 1 Sydney FC 2

Thanks for the updates LF1
All on for next week with the battle for 4th place...Sydney v Nix  goal difference will certainly help the Nix.  Heart v Mariners will be interesting, (depending on outcome in Sydney) with goal difference being crucial again.

In an ideal world, we'd like us to win, CCM to win and Brisbane Glory to draw

In an ideal world we'd pick up maximum points and win the play-offs.

Nah mate  That's just Dream World....!, which is an amusement park located somewhere near the Gold Coast, funnily enough.
Maybe Clive lives there..?

Topically now, Sydney game shaping as critical to our table position.Huge effort required, all key personnel (except Daniel?) should be available. Minimising our goals against from this point on will be critical to achieving any run in the playoffs.

I think top 2 is beyond us, so the more 3 points CCM & Roar can pick up, the better for us (apart from CCM against us in the final round ofc).

Glory to lose all their remaining games please.

Interesting, Gold Coast have the best home finish to their season.. but no crowd to capitalise on it.

What's the betting we play perth in the first finals games over there ?

Fixed.

GCU 3 CCM 3

Whoa what the hell GCU?! Nice

I've said it once, and I'll say it again, the Vultures are circling us! Jets up to 5th.  TBH if this is how the table looked at the end of the season I would be happy.
