1 Cost of Transport from Napier

2 Open Polytechnic Assignment due soon

 

how much is a flight from napier to welly?

Around $100+ to drive or standard flights are $79 each way!

Bus cheap at around $50 return but times are rubbish meaning I would have to stay down, drink, eat etc which adds up!!!

Don't worry I have spent hours internalising this complicated situation in my head for over a season now!

I did manage to dodge a visit to the in-laws this afternoon though.

Yays for assignments!

About time...

What the fuck happened there?

Brockie needs to haul ass - Ifill is doing more work than him on one leg. Can't believe how lazy he looks.

Guys like Smith and Manny need to start pushing forward much quicker too - ever since we scored weve looked sluggish; hangover from the international break?

On a positive note Stein has been very good.

I think I dislike Besart Berisha very very much!!!

This is a cracking game. Lots of goalmouth action, great saves, etc. Got a horrible feeling they might run us down in the 2nd half but I love the way we are moving the ball round up front.

Looks like they've already run us down, to be honest; we really do need a rocket up the ass . This is there to be won.

Huysegems has impressed me so far this season.

Runs well off the ball as well as being clever in front of goal. Good acquisition for us so far.

Agree with Valeo that Brockie needs to do a little more although one suspects that he needs a goal sooner rather than later to remain in the good form he has carried through the pre-season.

Manny looks solid @ right back too!

Bit of a dog's breakfast at the back when Roar scored. Boxall not paying attention, playing Berisha onside. Lochy looks like he's wading through cement next to Halloran.

btw, on Waffles, it was a well taken goal but it would seem certain now that he's pretty hopeless in the air. Should have done much better with that Ifill cross.

Stay on your line Paston.
Be patient Phoenix, it was working for 30 minutes - why stop?

Prediction 3-2   could be to either side

We are starting to look tired and I can only understand that as far as Sigmund and Lochhead as they played significant international minutes. The others.....

Bertos looks decent at RB and its obvious we are short on gas cause the throw ins have been slowed right down.

Manny looks younger

So since there's no 60th Minute Daniel sub, whats our next move?

Speed from Totori?

Youth from Boyd?

Something from Lia?

Assistant Ref got that wrong!

Broich is soft

 3 points lost tonight, dissapointing

Bah. Just lost the Radio Sport feed (?)

2nd goal would be nice about now. Closely followed by a 3rd!

COYN!!!

Better pressure during the last 5 mins or so...

OH SNAP!

Oh please not Totori but then for Ifill, who else is there?

Totori for Brockie?

Huysegems off
Totori on

stein????

 weird sub in my opinion
