Woke up slightly early to catch the end of the game. Had to hold my excitement at the end with Krishna's goal since everyone else was sleeping. Good way to start the day.

Always keen for new fans! How long you been following?

WSWvWEL finally allowed the Phoenix to get a positive position in Football Today


A-League

Western Sydney Wanderers v Wellington Phoenix

If there was any doubt that Wellington Phoenix were on an upwards trajectory, ($) it would have been dispelled after last night's game against Western Sydney Wanderers, writes Ray Gatt. The teams went into the break at 1-1, then scored within two minutes of each other at the 82nd and 84th minutes, only for Western Sydney to be brought undone by a second goal from Wellington's Roy Krishna at 89 minutes. It was the first time Wellington has defeated Western Sydney.

The win also equalled a club record for Wellington with their seventh consecutive unbeaten game, described as “hard luck” for Western Sydney Wanderers who lost both Alexander Baumjohann and Oriol Riera in the first half to injuries.

The 89th minute winner from Krishna was “heartbreaking” for Western Sydney Wanderers who are yet to earn a point this year, and suffering their third consecutive home defeat before just 7,288 people.

I don't know why that makes me feel so annoyed but it does. Do they actually think that or are they just trying to tame the PTSD they suffered from that time Blake Powell went mental and bagged four by pretending it didn't happen. Who knows

I was joking of course but the standard of the fact checking that aussie journos do on their claims about the nix is appalling. It's like they can't be bothered whether it's true or not.

Maybe this explains it all. 

We're not just playing in another country's league or a different confederation.

Aussie is actually a completely different planet.

If you want quality TV reporting in Oztraylia, you need to view SBS or ABC.

The rest are low brow garbage.
