Phoenix rely on the walk up crowd for their matches and the weather is going to effect that. + pre sales for this game are slow, so i wouldn't get your hopes up for a good crowd.
Fuck this stupid game

You would have to think it will be Marco and Pavlovich left out, Marco for sure as isn't he still recovering from injury? Thought I saw him doing laps of Hutt Park last week

I think he's back. Last week he was doing light duties but I think this week talk was he's back on full. Surprised Musa isn't a chance as defensive cover. Doesn't even get a mention.

Was just thinking about this - I'd say even money on whether it's Pav or Toto as the second guy to miss out

I don't find it shocking to be honest. But still think Greenacre has enough credit left as the senior pro to be given the chance to keep starting at this point of the season.

Toto must've really stepped up his game in the last week or so if this is the case. I'd like to see him get a bit of time off the bench.

Miron is good coach.
If by good you mean 'has had a full frontal lobotomy', then yes, you are correct.

for people who have the sky watch magazine, please turn to page 90 and read what is on sky sport 3 at 4am...
could it be a replay from last year, a stuff up or a look into the future?

And for people without, what is it? A replay of 6-0 I presume?

no sadly it's just a stuff up. After checking the onscreen guide it's only a replay of GCU game against the Roar at Skilled park.

Phoenix are paying $4.90 at the TAB to win by more than 1 (Goal Start -1). That is the best bet I have seen in a fair while imo

Head to Head is $2.20 at the moment which strikes me as pretty good so I have a lazy $10 on that.
Hey you bastards I'm still here.

A bit nervous about the fact its our first game though. A bye in the first round was just harsh.
Every team last week looked rusty and made silly errors that they wont make from this point on...So we are at a disadvantage for sure...So maybe only a 3-0 win
Allegedly

Heavy rain and high winds will buffet much of the country today and over the weekend, forecasters say.
Severe gales were possible for Wellington, the Marlborough Sounds, Northland and Taranaki today while heavy rain could hit the eastern Waikato.
Bring it on!!!!!

Metservice rain forecast shows major wetness between 6-9 pm.
Score will be 2-0.
Smeltz will fall over. We will laugh.

Pumped but a bit apprehensive...first up game, slow start record and of course that home record...which game would we want to lose it on if it has to go as it inevitabley will....not GCU I suspect!..Balancing that will have been rough landing last nite and our blessed weather...Toto to come on and set up 2 late goals...Go Nix..
A small town in Europe........looking to bounce straight back up....well that aint going to happen

Nix 3-1, paying $16... lazy tenner on that. Nix 5-0 paying $100 was tempting!! No odds for more than 5 though!
