Phoenix Ownership - Rob says FTFFA

Tens of thousands of the idle rich and their hangers-on guillotined. Hmmm. I suppose Robespierre had some bad qualities as well, though.

I can't remember from my studies at uni. Doloras, you seem well infomed about such matters and very sophisticated, did the Monarch restrict the pets the peasants could own?

GM seems more in the Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Ché mould.  Have an idea, don't mind how many heads you chop off on the way, get them before they get you.  Before you know it, you're dead, but you're sell millions of tee shirts with your picture on it.

Simone de Beauvoir - Sartre and Ché Guevara in Cuba 

Sven Hassel!! Quality! Used to love those books. Marvellous.

...but I digress. As you were.

You're only digressing from a digression of a digression of the original topic.

Now, where were we?

 Something about Welnix buggering off and it being made into a book by Sven Hassel. I think.

Going to get to the bottom of this next time I see my dentist.

How long do you think we can keep this going before Termy_X gets the mods to shut this thread down?

 As long as we throw Lee Norfolk's name in every now and again, we'll be sweet

 Measured comments from Gareth, what the first interview should have been.

 Now the interest will be who the 'front runners' are for the coach, and who gets a contract for next season.

While the Mariners v Wanderers play

Is there such a thing as excellence in football.

We have the Football School of Excellence, a "pathway" (which is good/ excellent).

"An excellent system in supplying players to play at the high level".

is there a way to find out how much exactly each owner is putting into the club? would be interesting

 Leo Kessler > Sven Hassel...

How about "Devil's Guard" for more war porn?

Gott in Himmel.  Take that gook. Zut Alors!

Gareth turned up in the Zone yesterday. Got a surprisingly warm welcome. 

 Anyone break out some cat chants?

There was also "If you're pathetic and you know it clap your hands"

Updated for cataccuracy.

I know someone whom met Gareth after the game and did a perfect impersonation of "I blame the cats, those bloody cats" to him! ;)

He mentioned a new fitness coach recently appointed around 11 minutes or so. Who is this and how good is he? And can anyone to refer me to a thread or article where I can find said information and more? Cheers

 Isn't it the return of Ed Baranoski?

He was on the bench for the Newcastle game I think. proabably him.

Ed views this gig as easy (judging by the interviews he has given) To be fair, with his experience, its a bit of a blessing he is available and I really hope a few players come back in much better shape

GM actually souinds reasonable on that, sure he's a crack pot, but his hearts in the right place - as is his $$ - he just needs to think before he makes an outbursts.

Trani & Greenacre = Clough & Taylor?

Driving down lower Vivian St today, Jnr Jnr notices a building (right side) with large "Wellington Phoenix" sign and logo on the second floor.  Is this the Nix HQ now?

 Sure is.

 With the amount of traffic that road gets, hopefully they can install some advertising on the side of the building.
