That one really makes me wonder who these imposters in stripeys are and what they did with the Nix.
Interesting that it was the game against the Jest where we really "took off" this season.

I have this recurring nightmare where I dream that we win the 2014/2015 title and then (in my dream) I suddenly "wake up" drenched in sweat to find that we are last on the table and Ricki has just recruited Kleberson and Totori to improve our performance next season.
Then I really wake up and find we are second on the table. Hell yeah.

True and because of that, the club will need to insert a contract clause that would prevent the Vatican poaching him as head coach/football director/Pope.

I LOVE LAMP
At the risk of massively jinxing us we are currently looking very, very good - not just for the play-offs, but for where we will finish in the play-off spots.
This table shows the the points gained by the top 6 teams in the 4 seasons of the A-League which have had 27 games:
In the next table I have extrapolated our current position (28 pts) out to the end of the season based on four different assumptions about the number of points we will get in the last 13 games:
As you can see even if our form over the last 13 games now bombs and is as bad as our average points for those games over the last two seasons (13 pts), we will still end up with 41 pts, which according to history would likely see us finish not just in the top 6 but the top 4.
If we do better than that and can gain the average number of points we've gained in the last 13 games over the past 5 seasons (18 pts), we will end up on 46 pts, which would definitely see us finish in the top 4, and possibly in the top 2.
If we do even better than that and can gain the average number of points we've gained in the last 13 games over the 3 seasons we made the play-offs (22 pts), we will end up on 50 pts, which would almost certainly see us finish in the top 2 but probably just short of being minor premiers.
Finally, if we continue to gain points at our current rate we will end up on 54 pts, which would definitely see us finish in the top 2 and also be a good chance at minor premiers.
Of course, this is all based on history and doesn't account for form in the 2014/15 A-League. It could be a record breaking year. The current 3rd and 4th place teams (Melbourne Victory and Adelaide) are on course to set records for the number of pts those two teams finish on.
Regardless, a top 4 place (and a home elimination final on the 1st or 3rd of May) now looks almost guaranteed and we will be right in the mix for the top 2.
Is that you, stato?
IF WSW win both of their make up matches that could make things very interesting for that 6th place.
I thought WSW were actually close against Victory (in the second half only, mind you), the way they lifted, but too uneven to merit an outright win. Then I remembered that our games sometimes looked like that too.

If that happens they could stake a competitive claim for the 8th place!

Rumour has it, he once parted a sea to allow some people to cross that were being persued by some others.

This to the great surprise of Greenacre, Roly and Ifill who were out for a stroll on it at the time.

Why not. Someone will need to teach them how to play out from the back.
