Regardless of who starts and the formation I just whoever is on the park to put their hands up and be counted. Hope it's not too much to ask this week.

I have been impressed by the effort the management have put in to try and get a big crowd. I have seen adverts all over town plus they are giving away free tickets to students who donate food items. Good stuff, hopefully it pays off and we get a big crowd

Weather may be a killer...

We'll be there, rain or shine
**mental note** find the thermals,just in case

maybe it should be pants off in the last 10 minutes? Just putting it out there...

I believe Frankie Mac may have proposed that previously.

i hope everyone has been doing their abdominal curls..

Very brave proposing that, but isn't Frankie Mac still in the UK?


New Chant:

Pants Off! ....for the Phoenix,... Pants Off!!......etc 


New 80 min music ...for when we're winning..

I can't believe your city has free wifi on the Airbus.
That's my way of letting you all know I'm here, see those of you I know (and hopefully meet a few more) at the Back Bencher on Sunday.

Our city>your city.

See you at BB.

Edit: if not on Sat night.

In my dreams.
                    Paston
Sigmund Mckain Durante Lochead (season 1 version please)
Hearfield    Diego Bertos Daniel
          Greenacre Ifill

I know its not going to happen but I can hope.chocnut2009-08-13 22:09:27

I'm with you. Except prefer Crowther. The defense would have to stand up and be counted tho.

I'd rather see Brown and McKain together than the Nix losing 8-3

Don't know if we would concede 8 goals with that team. If Daniel and Lochhead were season 1 then we could be so attacking we wouldn't need defense and McKain would end up playing forward.  And then Costa might as well play on for Paston. Just Put sigmund as flying goalie.
Then we will easily win all our games

We need to get rid of Ricki unless he plays this formation

I wonder if Rikki will be brave this week and leave out brown and bring in any one of diego, lia or ferrante

Only 2 changes to last week it is time to bring vince Lia back in, lose Lochead he has been ineffective. brown out Diego in. it iwll give us that extra control in the middle of the park we lost our way in this area with too many stray passes, a little more precision will put Greenacre more in the frame. He looks great my pick is he will our score smelz this season.

I agree WRT Lochy. It seems to me he might be feeling rather comfy, that his position is safe, and that is contributing to his (relatively) poor performances. Getting dropped might just be a kick up the bum he needs to reach his potential.

I'm there to watch O'Leary

Don't think Ricki has the fire in him to pass in on so maybe we could get the yellow fever to do the pre-game and half time team talk, if they don't fire up after that we have a team of cadavers.

Well, that's us f**ked then.

Musky Man Cat = Sex Panther

And Shroj will be playing! Shroj. Strangest name in the A-League. Shroj.

Yes, and Crowther has a hot Mrs too.

...and Ifill, and Dura, and Daniel... I could go on.

Forgot, Ferrante = Hooked On.

McKain�s midfield partner from the Jets game, Tim Brown, could miss Sunday�s match. The New Zealand international has a groin strain and a final decision on his selection will be made after the captain�s run on the eve of the Perth game.

 

Phoenix head coach Ricki Herbert said Brazilian creative midfielder Diego was a near-certainty to start against Perth, indicative of the Phoenix�s attacking mindset.

Great. It will all work out for the best then!! Yuss!

press release

Good stuff. And news, who is Burrito... :)?
