League Table 2016/17

With a game in hand!

That game in hand is against the second best team in the competition this season though. All it'll probably do will be make our GD worse

and we lay that game midweek so will be 3 games in about 8 days

If CCM beat Victory we are back in 9th place.  That had better not happen

we want 5th, we want 5th, we want 5th!

I'm struggling to remember who scored our other 6 goals - Kosta x 1, Gui x 2, Watson x 2? and the other?

How could I forget Vinnie's goal. 

soz my bad, I did not communicate properly. I knew Krishna(s on fire) had scored 7 of our 13.  Just couldn't remember that Vinnie had scored one.

Sydney are 10 points clear at the top. Might as well give them the plate now.

The challenge will be to have a lossless season, roar came close a few years back, I think only losing one game.

Then if Victory win the Australia day clash it's only a 1 point gap.

Season ain't done yet.

Win this Thursday and we can get to 5th!

I live in hope

For 3 weeks we've been 1 win away from 5th?

That's more consistent than we have been previously.

I know you're being sarcastic...but since last season that's still impressive.

Only Adelaide have scored fewer goals than us. 

Equal 4th for least conceded, though! #GlassHalfFull

Mariners have also scored less goals per game than us. But that's hardly a brag. 

So, there's a top four, with a gap from the bottom six teams, in terms of points on the table.

But there's also a top two, breaking away from the bottom eight, in terms of goal difference!
