Buns has certainly risen
I think he's proved himself
E's Flat Ah's Flat Too
Simply put, we owned their midfield in that second half. Their 4-4-2 looked awful after the break
Normo's coming home
This thread is comedy gold when you read it after the game.lol Really some of you.those who accuse me of not being positive obviously wear blinkers.Thanks phoenix more money into the account for next year's challenge.
Great win......beating Sydney away and moving to 4th slot makes us believe that this could be our season.
Not sure what Ernie said at half time but we were 100% better. Just shows that if our midfield fires we have the attackers to hurt teams.
Burnsy...take a bow son!!!!! two excellent goals.
We blew them off the park in the second half.....Best Xmas present you could ask for
Was a very good game. I thought we defended very well and soaked up pressure. It was good to see how we came out in the second half and adjusted. It's great that we can not look dangerous for much of the game and then grab some big goals. Sydney's play makers were kept very quiet.
Smeltzy, Smeltzy, what's the score?
Just posting this now so I can quote it later on
Thank You.
Sydney were dire in the second half, maybe we can take a bit of credit for that.

Great little change by Ernie to push Roly further forward to mark/put pressure on Antonis; made a huge difference. Roly the difference.
a.haak
Thought Siggy was great and the pitch was shyte and could maybe take the blame for some of the mistakes.

This seems to be a pattern in the last few games (other than the last one vs CCM)...
We certainly seem to be a 2nd half team.

To be fair, the first half was dire and Sydney dominated us (though I don't think they ever played 'well' either)
It's best not to read back over the thread; comments said in frustration and not with any kind of logic behind them most of the time.

that's a totally shark comment - you should be slapped in the face with the banstick!

Kirsty Allsopp!
That is all!

My gut feeling on this one isit will be a smash and grab mission. Try and hold defensive line for around 75-80mins then clear unleash the bench.
This match is like Nigella Lawson or Kirsty Allsopp. Definitely doable!
Smashed and grabbed!
Pathetic.

4th. 1 game from 2nd. If we get a home final along the way we could win this show.
And have yourself a Merrick little Nixmas time!
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
Buuuuurns Baby Burns !
Top 4 lads ! Get it in ya .
Boxall was amazing, really put pressure and held the ball tight .
69:42. Doyle completes a pass.
It couldn't have been a forward pass, shark me
Only 14k in attendance.
No more games in Blingland. They don't deserve it.
This game was appalling to watch. Obviously, a couple of goals for the Phoenix late on have sent us home happy, but at 70 mins I was thinking to myself no wonder no one goes to watch any more, cos all it is is a load of guys passing backwards. You can say all you like about 'possession' football, but much of that was boring as hell. Even the commentators were talking about frequent flyer points when we had possession of the ball in the box.
Another clean sheet too. Well done Moss, ddcent game for sure. Watching Graham Arnold is funny when we beat any of his teams. Burns on 10 goals, 4th spot ours and 2nd place not that far away.
Tis the season to be jolly...and Bad Santa is on now!
Can't watch the highlights video on a league website, any tips/alternatives?

I'd happily take a point here but you just know what's going to happen....
LOL
Seriously dude...was just frustrated with a couple of Alison's calls. If anyone was offended, I apologise. And we won.
Peace.
People are desperate to be offended by anything these days.
Three for me, and two for them.
Sorry if I've forgot to take my humour pills, but these comments about Alison Flyn are outright misogynistic (previous page) and rather dodgy on this page.
Pull your heads in lads please.
You sound like Julia Gillard
You say that as if it's a bad thing. But you probably think Tony Abbott is cool, too.
Thanks for keeping tabs on the riff-raff while I was out, J82. Let's see... that's an unbeaten streak of 4 games, right? How long since we last had one of those?
Must be a generational thing.
Leggy is from the mezosoic era tbf.
Making him even older than Jeff Vader, who used to whip slaves and make them pick cotton.
Is this our first victory in Sydney vs. Sydney FC?
Ibini was the danger man in first half and we did well to keep him quiet in second half.
Is this our first victory in Sydney vs. Sydney FC?
Commentators said 9 won by Bling, 3 by Nix, no draws.
4 to Nix now.

So disappointed mate.
The very first win in Phoenix history was in Sydney against the bling.
Burns has lost some pace..needs to think quicker as well
He is playing?
Burns?
He's the guy who scored two goals, got us the three points, is leading the golden boot race and just became the fastest player to 10 goals in a season in a league history. Yes, he IS playing. He's playing so bloody well he's probably almost secured himself a socceroos jersey.

Silly bitch.
Excuse me!?
We're better than that. We're not the sexist hompohobic RBB...

You have to forgive Leggy though, old age and all that...

He was great in the second half, but I doubt even you thought he was in the first half.
I doubt he will make the Socceroos, as there are a lot much better.
If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

Ange has always said he is going to pick on form. Publically stated that Taggart was in the Socceroos for the world cup because he was the golden boot of the A-league. I think that means that burns will be in the 23, might not make the 11
