Phoenix vs Sydney

More importantly, where is everyone meeting for a drink and a sing song pre-match?

Getting back on topic.

it is an oval, it has a speedway track surrounding the field. I think it seats around 17,000 max, but don't quote me on that

Edit: Oh, and don't underestimate the amount of people from palmy who have made the trip to a Nix game.

Jingle Bells ....

Oh what fun it is to see, the Phoenix win away

Oh!

Vanuatu must be ranked about 211.

What is the preferred bar of choice pre and post game for the travelling feverfans   any suggestions 

Capacity is 18 000 but for bigger events an extra 2 000 seats can be added.

I really hope we can get a result.  Especially against Sydney.  The last thing we need is Siggy gone for the Sydney match.  Personally I don't think we'll win it, so I'll be happy with a draw provided it differs significantly from the one against Melbourne.

I think you are underestimating the number of people that go down from Palmy to the Phoenix, although not every week (some do) a lot of people in the Palmy football community go down for 3-5 games a season.  Also your possibly underestimating the number of Wellingtonians making the trek (I hope).

You know we belong together
you and I for ever and ever
no matter where you are
you're my guiding star
and from the very first moment I saw you
I never felt such emotion
I'm walking on air
just to know that you're there
hold me in your arms
don't let me go
I want to stay forever
Home and away
with you each day
let me be the one that you turn to
someone you can rely on
closer each day
Home and away

any news on a pub in palmy for pre and after match pints??

If defender subbed off then Lia drops back and Diego slots in to midfield. Having seen Mulligan at right back what defensive cover would he have provided?

Mulligan must be crap for him not to have a start. I mean lets face it. 10 games left before play offs. When is he going to make his debut this season??, He cant even make the subs bench!!. Terry show him the door. "Yr Fired"!!

While some of us have uncharitably bagged Palmy in earlier posts (and been roundly told off for it) Palmy does have a strong football community, so hopefully it will translate into lots of locals turning up for the game.

It would be brilliant if the Palmy Army and the YF had the highest "home-and-away" crowd for the season to date. Would make an even greater incentive to get more to RoF for the last three home games.

with chen carrying his bags. with those2 and ferrante gone next season looks good

Where's everyone gathering before the game? I'm assuming there's a YF-approved venue for pre-game drinks.

We're working on it - late, but working on it.

James Musa in the mix for this one ? Should Siggy be suspended.

Greeny ok? Mckain back?

McKain will surely be back. And I'd say Greenacre will be all goods as well, he only just missed out on the Victory game I think.

Also, Daniels 30th birthday on Saturday, hopefully he pulls out a huge performance.

Musa must be out of the running as he was injury cover for McKain

I think he was just trialling and spending time with them, not registered as a player.

I think quite alot of you are forgetting that leo bertos can act as a striker if need be.

This means that we can have Iffil out wide, doing his magic, while leo can still use his pace to link up with greenacre.

Barborouses is still to inexperianced to start, good impact player tho..

I would play:

                            Paston
 Hearfield - Siggy     -      Durante -    Lochy
                   Brown    -     Leo
    Ifill                                               Daniel
                  Bertos    -    greenacre

= Amazing + first win against sydney this year

You havent seen Bertos shoot at goal or attempt to finish a chance have you..? Id very much rather switch Ifill and bertos around in your formation. Or if you want Ifill on the wing,Daniel up front even. Siggy is also out,so would be replaced by Mckain. and am guessing Leo is Lia Tegal2009-12-07 22:34:25

ewwww bertos at striker would be awful.

he did it 2 for perth

n yer lia for leo.

Wherez the news for siggy, coz i havent heard any over here??

We always used to beat Sydney back in the day. We were Sydneys bogie team when cossie was coach if I remember rightly.

up untill this season, we always beat sydney. it seams this new coach knows how to deal with us kiwis

                     Pasty
             Mckain Durante
Hearfield                    Lochhead
               Lia      Brown
Bertos                             Daniel
               Ifill
                       Acres of space

Crowther
Mulligan
Caceres
Costa

Mulligan there for CM cover, so Lia can drop back for defense.

If I'm interpreting your text speak correctly...

PLEASE NO LEO UP FRONT. EVEN IF HE DID IT FOR PERTH THEY WERE PANTS AND HE SCORED PRETTY MUCH NOTHING.

Leo Bertos is not a striker. No no no. WE don't need him out there, we need to utilise his pace out wide mostly, and also as a counter attacking tool.
