Phoenix fluke win - Gold Coast match
Haha anyone get a photo of Hearfield (i think...hazy memory) holding up 6 fingers and yelling "6-0!" as he was coming toward the zone at fulltime?
This was the nail in the coffin for Ricky in my opinion. We should have scored at least 8. I'll be disappointed if he's not sacked this week.
just got up to watch some english football and i stil CANT BELIEVE IT!!!!
I AM SO F*CKING STOKED I LOVE YOU PHOENIX
ps: great win on the nix at the TAB too - we were paying $3.40. When it was 3-0 i was already thinking it was the easiest money EVER
are there highlights anywhere on the net or anything? had a look on 101greatgoals.com and they had highlights of the friday/saturday games but no sunday games yet...
I went back to bed at about 6 in the morning, woke my wife up and told her that the phoenix had won 6-0. All she said was "my god Thommo will be pissed" and then went back to sleep.
Not only did we cut loose up front. They did not get a decent chance all game.
Great all round perfromance.
I thought Caceras looked very good when he came on off the bench.

Same here.
I can't wait to give a massive up yours at school on Tuesday to all the people (and theres quite a few of them) that say the Phoenix are sh*t !
Great highlights, still has me throwing my hands in the air every time one hits the back of the net.
Edit, audio gets out of sync about half way through.

[/QUOTE]Way too defensive. Only made 3 attacking subs.

Caceres is the perfect impact player imo - even though he hates not playing the full 90

A Little Miron Bleiberg post match magic:-
C-Diddy2009-10-26 09:57:21
(from stuff.co.nz)
Always-quotable coach Miron Bleiberg gave United's best performance of the night with a colourful post-match press conference.
He offered no excuses, said the Phoenix deserved their moment in the sun, and described them as United's "black kiwi sheep".
"It never happened to me that I lost 6-0 so it's a new experience, it's the Ricki Horror Show," he said. "I can't even blame the referee, he had a good game. I think it will take time for it to sink in. I'm still laughing. I'll probably cry into my pillow during the night."
Bleiberg congratulated Herbert and revealed he had considered buying his counterpart's new book. "If his book was a bit cheaper I would have bought it. I was walking down the street and only had a $20 note, but he wants $36 for his book and I didn't have it."
hey guys,
I don't really know what to say. Enough has been said in 30-odd pages in this post and everything's been positive. When you win 6-0 it's gotta be this way. Last night as I stumbled home I decided to catch a cab and this very old and wise Somalian driver told me: "6-0 is not a good game, but it is a good win". I almost puked in his cab so I decided to focus my eyes on his review mirror and nod in agreement. But he wasn't that wrong! GC didn't do anything at all. It was one way traffic for the whole 90'. Thank God, Rees didn't score so I didn't have to kiss a chick (there was hardly any around me).
Thanks Phoenix for such a great performance, some of you i.e. Daniel, Greenacre especially deserved it, they've been putting in the hard work and haven't harvested as much as they should have until this game. But awesome stuff and big ups to everyone involved.
One more thing I wanna say is THE FEVER ZONE SHOULD BE THIS WAY ALWAYS. Some weeks we sing a bit, then after kick off comes this deafening silence: it shouldn't be this way. If we're fired up, the players are fired up! I think that yesterday with the whole Smeltz/GCU being the new bling thing we felt compelled to do more..and in my opinion this should happen every week. Every team that comes here, be it NQF, Perth or GCU, they should all think:"wow the Phoenix are being backed big time, and we're being told that we're sh*t big time"...confusion in their heads you see!
still feeling rather good !!

great to hear that the fans were making some noise in town last night
Are you still drunk power?
"f**k off, Get f**ked!" To Poofpants Miron. Possibly the greatest words Ricki has ever said.
These 3 links should cover the whole game. It's the NewstalkZB commentary of the game last night. You can find them on the website in the On Demand section. Make sure you're in the Wellington broadcast. Look up the date & time of the game.

1, 2, 3
4, 5, 6
We are the Wellington Phoenix
With the Ring of Fire gleaming in the sun
We scored 6 goals just for fun
What a win that was. I flew down for the weekend from Auckland and the atmosphere was as good as ever despite the drop in crowd numbers. Hopefully this will bring a few people back!
I wasn't sure how to feel while watching that, it was awesome and unexpected - what a vindication!

This weekend always seems to have a crowd about that size. No real 'drop'.
6 f**kING NIL!
I love daniels victory dance.
HE SHOULD GO ON BROADWAY.

Having just finished watching highlights again, "F**K YEAH!!!"
As for the crowds it probably doesn't help much that Nix always seem to play on a Sunday at home.

We've had better crowds on a Sunday than the Friday game we had this season, and same last season fromm memory.
How odd. How I wish I lived in Wellington

While I thought Chen tried hard and ran for everything when he came on did anyone see his dummy spit when we scored the 6th? Wouldn't come and celebrate with the boys and it took Siggy to give him a bit of a rark up to get him to come over, though still reluctantly. Im glad he is passionate but needs to be more of a team man from the look of things.
But really what can be said about yesterday that hasn't been said already! An amazing performance, Ifill is the best player in the league at the moment maybe Hernandez aside. I thought Vinny Lia was immense in the 1st half and it was that platform which set the scene for that unbelievable blitz in the 2nd.
My only grizzle isn't at the team but at the club, this was Lochys 50th game he is the first player to do that having played all his games for the Nix and it is not menitoned. It wouldn't have worked to led the team out but I would have thought a presentation at the end of the game or even just a tribute on the big screen at half time? I seem to remember in Season 1 Ross played his 50th game and they gave him a presentation before the match.
Can you hear me Miron Blieberg, Shane Smeltz, Kevin Rudd, Steve Irwin, Bindy Irwin, Dreamworld, Movie World, Sea World, Surfers Paradise, Noosa, Coolangatta, Big Brother - your boys took one hell of a beating!
I cant watch the goals enough. Chen was trying his hardest but i too noticed his lack of team spirit which can happen when your focussed on making an individual impression
Replay scheduled on Tuesday 3am on Sky. So going to record it and burn to DVD 
Any other time than that?
Will try and get infront of a TV with Sky to watch it all again
That game will live in my memory for a long long time....I was there, Phoenix 6...GC 0. Love it.
I really like the way the team seems such a tight bunch. The huddle before kickoff. The way they still urged each other on in the last 10minutes NOT to let in a goal. The clean sheet was a badge of pride for the team. Now conceded only 1 goal in the last 4 games!!!!
They were getting lots of flack for all the draws but they kept saying keep the faith....it will come together.
Other positives...how long is it since we have lost a game at the ROF? It truely is turning into a fortress. Teams are gonna hate coming here. If we can tear the ass out of the leagues leading team...bring it on!!!!
The new goal points difference will be important if there is a tight finish for the playoffs.
What's the record for the 'most games undefeated at home in a row'? I think the Nix are up to 11 and counting.
That's something as fans we can feel immensely proud of, to be making the most of home advantage like that!

It's 14 by Sydney FC
Words cannot even describe how glad I am that I made the trip down for this one.
I'm picturing the big grin that will cross my face moments before I answer the question 'where were you when we put 6 past gcu?' with a resounding. I was there and loving it.
Side note, that's four wins in a row for Phoenix games I've made the trip for, see you all on the 4th! Surely we'll put ten past the planes.

Well well well, what can I say? AMAZING game. 6-0 v Gold Coast, unbelievable really. That yesterday was how to dominate a game. Gold Coast were absolutely TERRIBLE! We should have pumped them about 3-0 over there so this was vindication for that result.
We better keep it up! Win these next 2 home games and I might even crack a smile 
Have to say though, I thought Ricki got a bit defensive at 5-0, it really should have been 10-0 yesterday so I'm not happy in that regard...
Hopefully some fans come back after that. Cracking night out afterwards too...bit of a hangover today but definitely worth it!
