Important result for Sydney to keep in touch with the top of the table.
Would love a draw tonight.

Beautiful.

I think more importantly, a good result for us against Brisbane does many things

1: It put us right up Perths tailpipe. If they slip and we perform, hello 1st place.

2: It shows that the results prior to the break were not some flukes. We have come back from a mini break and still playing well. 

3: It shows the rest of the league that we are to be taken seriously and this is not some lucky streak (although it could be argued we had some lucky results) It puts more emphasis on the team being a good team and not just a 'a run of results because of momentum' 

More than a few think Perth have a nose bleed for their position and I guess we have gotten so use to Roar, CCM and Victory being up there that teams don't take the form of Perth and Phoenix seriously. I mean what would the TAB offered on Perth being 1 and us being 2 at the turnaround? People will view us as pretenders unless we show them a bit more. A result against the Roar after a lay off in Brisbane does that.

This game is a 9-pointer, that's how important it is.

By then it will either be a 0 pointer or a 12 pointer.

Well, we are only a team of Kiwi sheep-fudgers and therefore worthless.

Hahahahaha.

13 games without a win. A new outright record for We're StilL Winless - worse than both NZ Knights and Perth Glory's worst ever starts to a season (12 games without a win)


Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.


Phoenix fans. We have to win them over one fan at a time.

the good news about it is that they are expunging all the records created by the Knights and the Kingz. This is good news for fans of those previous clubs.

Talk about crashing back down to earth for WSW.

To be fair, if I was a fan of them I'd probably be pretty happy winning the ACL and having a write-off A-League season. This is new levels of low, though.

Only a point behind Tards and Pissants.  A win agaisnt WSW next week will keep us on track.  Tards have a Tardistan derby, Perth at home to Bling.  Pissants vs CCM.
