Is either Brown or McKain near a suspension?  I think McKain's already had his five yellow cards so he'll be sweet because those two will have to dominate physically in the middle of the park and that often comes with cards attached.
 
McKain's on 6 now, so in effect, he's on 1.
 
Brown on 3, as are Muscat and Ferrante.

All the best today lads!
Play hard, fast, and do us proud.
I'll be yelling at the TV in Nelson
A win is a win now and I don't care how messy it looks, just bring us the 3 points

If Costa plays a blinder (and I hope he does), watch this site go bananas tomorrow at Ricki for leaving it so late in the season to give him a decent run. (The goals Costa might have scored, the assists he might have made, the games he could have helped us win, how much better we might have looked with him backing Smeltzy, etc.)
 
If (worst case scenario) Costa has a bummer, Ricki will be castigated for throwing him in when he's obviously not ready.
 
Damned if he does, and damned if you doesn't. Ah, who'd be a coach?
 
I'll be glued to the TV in Auckland. Make us proud, tonight, guys.

I know before every home game we tell everybody to bring a friend but seriously this time let's actually bring somebody.  We need a good crowd and a good atmosphere.  I'm in Christchurch so can't go but just texted a mate up in Welly and hopefully he'll be at the game.

AURELIO Vidmar has been forced into a late reshuffle of his team to play Wellington, after Brazilian defender Cassio rushed to return to Adelaide last night after his wife went into labour.

Passing around the box, through the defence, almost in slow motion, Reid finds himself in space turns, and curls it past Moss,who gets a touch but not enough to keep it out.

How are the boys playing, apart from conceding early? Thunderstorm in Christchurch blocked the Sky signal for the first 16 minutes or so.

seems promising- 1-1 with the wind at half would be a great result. to maintain the current wouldn't be the worst.
 
Defence is looking a bit dicey at times and the wind is a roulette wheel.
 
Daniel is good, but not getting the runs into the box in support at the mo...fingers crossed.

oh and the ref is a c**t.
 
no contact and he cards Brown. Terry should ask for compensation from the FFA on his investment, cos of the refs bias.
