...OK, I'll start it.
 
1-0 to Adelaide. Good for us.
 
No, wait, Robinson equalizes 1-1. Worst player in the league scores!

What? How? Who?!

Did Adelaide put 11 men in front of the ball or something? That man is horrific...

Commentators musing about who Perth would get next season to replace Leo "if he goes back to Wellington".
 
Do they know something we don't (yet)?

Rukavytsya. That guy is on fire. He's gone from complete sh*te at the start of the season to a pacey goal scoring machine.

Perth deserve to be ahead.

I don't want to be bottom but 5th,6th,7th,8th - it's all the same.

He's not that bad.  He's damn quick, just had touch of the Ferrante's earlier in the season.

True.  But I can already hear those flea-brained Tony Veitch and Deakerites....and that's what f**ks me off about this situation.

Robinson is a good player - he just isn't a striker. More of a defensive CM (which is where he is now). He has a huge work rate but can't shoot for sh*t - the person who told him he was a striker had no idea.

It's sadly ironic that if the Phoenix finish bottom there will be a chorus of sniggers and derision within NZ, whereas the very worst we can expect from Oz is to be ignored. In fact, from almost everyone involved in or interested in the A League here the vibe about the new Wellington franchise has been very positive, and whether we finish bottom or not is not going to change that.

It's that old tall poppy thing.

I love my Nix.  And as long as its run with a degree of professionalism - I'll still luv 'em whether they finish 1st or 8th.  We don't need results to validate our .  But in saying that - and to use a Tim Browniessm - I'm 'incredulous' about being 8th.  We don't f**king deserve it.

I thought I was really cool with the idea of being bottom but now I'm bummed out. Wont be looking at that league table this week. Only good thing is that at least the boys will have something a little more concrete to play for againsst CCM, so a chance to show some real guts and make us all proud.

C'MON LADS!!!

We'll get something next week.  I'm sure.  The football gods will be with us.  Only pray like f**k that Perth gets sweet f**k-all from their game.  Played the night before CCM v WP...
 
What should Ricky do just before the game next week?
 
1) Take the boys for a quick wade on the palm tree lined beach next to stadium.
 
2) And play this:
 
 
They'll be pumped. 
 
Trust me.

Tell us what you really think.
 
When it comes down to it, the Nix players have only themselves to blame for the aforementioned mistakes that cost us so very dearly.

and at the end of the day that's what it comes down too, had we not let in late goals early in the season, we'd have won 2/3 more games and could have been mid table mid season, if we'd taken more of our opportunites late in the season we'd be strong challengers at the moment. Due to one or two games we drew when we should have won and lost games we should have drawn, we are sitting 8th when it could have been 4th/5th,

yeh but of course every other team has their oh so closes and what might have beens too. The last two weeks the Nix have been playing poorly. Our only chance this week is that the pressure on CCM will be so intense that their nerves might get in the road.

.....or we've really got nowt to play for and they might be so fired up that they'll steamroller us
 
As you say OOE, all the pressure's on them. The fact that they've been playing like sh*t recently might help us as well. Be great for us to finish with a good win. I wonder if Stephen O'Dor is having nightmares about going back to play CCM over there again, after his performance last time.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.
