Yeah I'm often on that site looking at Altrincham results and it's always funny when a phoenix result is on there :D

I'm having the same issue when I check North American sporting news, especially as before this year my main interest was ice hockey. Had to caution a mate of mine from LA yesterday about not getting too used to cheering against sports teams named Phoenix - unless they were from Arizona :P

...which is only two (the Coyotes and the Suns) because every other team uses the name Arizona.

Went and watched the Sydney Adelaide game tonight at the 4 Kings and what a f**king setup they have.  Lazyboys all round and screens for Africa.  It's mint.  I'm moving in there.

Greene and I also threw away twenty bucks backing the draw and then that c**t Breeze sent off Cornflake for sod al.  w**ker. 

See you all Sunday.
If its any consolation I put money on the draw too....im sure that munter Breeze has screwed the Nix over this season....can't remember when though.

I say tackle him in the face.

I think we had him for that Sydney game when we won.

He gave Daniel a yellow card for kicking the ball out.

just reading  about a fire in Courtenay Place (Saatchi Building) and parts of the area are blocked off - is this affecting tonight's venue?

No its not, its directly across the road. No reason why it should effect the four kings in anyway.

I say tackle him in the face.

Just heard it hit Cafe Cubita... I've met the guy who runs that and he's a good bloke, I hope everything works out fine for him. Also for Burger Fuel, as they support Yellow Fever, and for everyone else affected because I'm not a dick

so 20 mins until kick-off

sadly there'll be no four kings beers for me tonight - a virus has taken its toll

hopefully all down there will have a great winning night

and those of us online will have a few laughs and more importantly end up with 'that winning feeling' at 10.55 ish

CMON YOU NIX!!

I know it's a bit late, but if anyone is like me, and can't watch the game on TV. I'm listening to abc radio via the internet.

Loving this commentary - no doubt which side the commentators are on whatsoever.

Third goal goes in - "It's a goal.... oh dear, oh dear, oh dear"

Im sure these aussie commentators are  at least  meant to try and sound neutral ,they sounded as if they were going to top them selfs towards the end of the game,ah well great stuff!!

The answer to life's problems are rarely found at the bottom of a beer glass - but it's always worth a look.

Had to get txt reports for the whole game from Bill (Fever Lounge)  and Sue (Eastbourne pub). Ended up turning a Takapuna restaurant into a mini YF zone even if only for a minute or so..
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Good man! Me and HarryPeters ended up attracting a few pubgoers into watching the match with us.
PS While you're in Takapuna, pop in at The Copper Room, they're a great bunch. Went out of their way to help me watch our away match against Perth when I was up there

Didn't look like a top four performance to me but then we didn't play well (apart from about two minutes of it) and won so I guess that is what getting in the top four is about. Joel Griffiths might have had a field day so just as well he didn't play. However, makes up for the ones where we did play well and lost.

Yep it was a great night for me all round, Big Matt puts on drinks and food for us, the Nix had an awesome win (although freakin nailbiting), awesome atmosphere created by the fever, then barts and I picked the score, gotta love 35-1

Thanks again Matt, I'll be back for the next away game, we'll put some bets on the game before it starts!
