League table

Honestly, don't get me started.

Nor me really. I know it's not the clubs fault. But the Stadium Trust, arses and heads buried,  all seem relevent imho.

that's 2 points to sixth  place, by the way.

I wonder if the mods or administrator can do a search for the number of times the following are posted:

1. "We really need to win this game"
2. "This is such a tight league"

or variations on the themes.

But really, 9 rounds to go and it is such tight league...

We need to get our best 11 match fit and off suspensions.

And play better.

Because it might look like a tight league right now, but the opportunities to move up the table are disappearing.

We are now 4 (I'll repeat that) FOUR! points behind Newcastle.

Thanks a bloody lot as if i needed reminding of that on here.Have that plenty at home with father inlaw just arivving for Xmas  who lives there.

We could be stone cold last after this week , or on a positive note, possibly 6th. We simply have to string together 3 or 4 wins on the trot now. It is time to show whether we are contenders or, yet again pretenders

If only it was that simple to string together 3-4 wins on the trot.

I see the two games in January at home consecutivley against Brisbane and North Queensland as what will be season defining. Those are two we must get 3 points against. A fair way off but that is where the real crunch time of the season begins and I see those two as the time to get on a roll before the playoffs. On the 9th and 15th if January I think.

I'm working on a probable rather than a prefered futre...

Pablo's Dog could have bolsted our attacking options and also entertained the crowd with some music!!

Is there an oficial name for an unintentional punning disease?

Pungent rash, perhaps?

Needs some punicillin.

Punctually administered.

Ohh 'arry.  You're a bit of pundit on these things aren't you?

Punctilious even.

I must apologise for my puny efforts.

Never punish yourself, squire! (Actually, the THFC/Newcastle axis suggests serious Punic faith)

I'm sure we will face a severe punalty.

Or, in keeping with this thread, thank god there is no punding relegation in the A-league!

I'm Reddy for any impunding punishmnet...

Pund for pund, more wisecracks here than you could shake a schtick at. Pun-ching well above your weight, imo.

I'd take a punt, Piney might not like how we've redecorated on this thread.

another three points to the Roar. This game at Hindmarsh is looking like it will be season defining for sure

If you reduce the available seating zones, either by restricting the top rows or have the crowd only the opposite side to the camera, it would look on TV.

At FMG stadium, the space of 18,000 is one thing but there was only the grandstand ( where the camera is) and the opposite half of the stadium to the camera was where the crowds were mainly were. There was not much crowd straight behind the goals expect on the corner opposite (of camera) where the YF was. The row of seats in the camera view, was only about 8-10 rows up at the best. So about 1/3 of the seats are were not used by natural default.

But in the camera view it looks packed. The same sort of thing you would get in the English Championship and it looks good because of the lack of rows in their stadium.

Three points will certainly give us confidence, TOP 6 baby!!!

Please LF1, get this back on track.

Brisbane 2 NQF 0

not such nice viewing, good job NQF has a crap goal diff

ffs Sydney have lost 7 games, yet are clear 2nd. Strange.

Sam made a great point on the latest podcast....after this weekend's games, the Phoenix could be bottom with a positive goal difference.  Unheard of.

Nice, least wins in the league officially. If we don't win tomorrow I'll probably hit something.

3 out of top 4 have lost 7. newcastle doing what we couldnt a few weeks back and taking 4th spot. those draws are going to hurt us

The sad thing is, if we swap the 9 draws and 4 wins around, we'd be on 31 points equal with Sydney Ard Righ2009-12-17 11:53:28
