R12 vs Sydney FC | Sat 23rd Dec | 7:35pm | RoF | 12 Pubs etc....

Will we even score? Can we win? Will the fever be too drunk to give a shark?

Seriously though, Darije said that he knows how to beat Sydney so here is his opportunity to prove it. Would love an early Christmas present.

if we get three points this weekend I'll eat my free give-away Phoenix face towel from the 10/11 season

My favourite conspiracy theorist on this site would probably say that Darije is just trying to improve his current price on the "A-League Coach Interclub Transfermarkt" website.

I believe him.

We almost did it the first time.

Is VAR playing for Sydney again this week?

I hope we win

I really really really want us to win this game. COYN!.

You will be quoted and held to account my good fellow. You know the drill, PICS or it didnt' happen.

So I'm not predicting good things, from the game...

Because I like stats: 

Wellington v Sydney

LDLLW v WWWWW

Wgtn - GF: 8 GA: 10 (inflated because WSW game missed so gone back 6 games to the 5-2 win)

Syd - GF: 14 GA: 3

Previous meetings:

Sydney FC 3 - 2 Wellington Phoenix (October 15, 2017 at Allianz Stadium)

Wellington Phoenix 1 - 1 Sydney FC (April 8, 2017 at Westpac Stadium)

Sydney FC 3 - 1 Wellington Phoenix (February 9, 2017 at Allianz Stadium)

Arnold said that his side weren't very good despite winning 3-1 vs. Melb City last weekend (was 2-1 until Manny was sent off).

And they have to lose some time....

Hopefully Durante and Krishna coming back will bolster the Nix.

Nix are due for another home win and this could be it.

(Also, Trump could choke on his KFC / MacDonalds soon and die in office, Mike Hosking could retire form all media and live in seclusion and the Pope come out as bi-sexual....it's all possible....)

Sydney is probably the team we have preformed the best against for the past 2 1/2 seasons.

Try to serve it with Watto Sauce

Just read Rado Vidosic is getting sacked before the Sydney game??

thats bullshark that there isnt an journos name on this piece of 'work'

won't be long before it's rerun in some version on stuff etc

It's the same guys who claim FFA are about to announce a second division. http://www.goal.com/en-au/news/the-covert-agent-a-...

#fakenews

What time is training today?

9am I think

Did anyone go down and have a look? Any sign of Rado? I’ll have a look through the latest tv listings on Trademe in the Wellington area. Standby.

Its on stuff dario and rado gone........

Not a way to start our climb back up the ladder.

Possibly Rado realised that if his son plays for Phoenix, it's open season on his life and limb on the pitch with no response from the refs.

Oh ffs, if things couldn't have gotten any worse. So now we have two spots to fill

Not yarn.

To be fair, Covert agent is right less often than a broken clock.

Does that mean Dario and Rado can attend 12 pubs?

So does the shambles make us an emotional wild card where we could upset a team?

Or does it just mean we will get steamrolled by more?

steamrolled

This club is in ruins.

I'm getting strong vibes of Adrian Mierzejewski doing a del Piero and shanking 4 goals past us on the way to Sydney winning by 7 or something

I wonder if we'll see Smith back in goal. 

We’re gonna get dicked!

Will Dario be on the next pod to give his side of the story?

Looking forward to a massive crowd on Saturday.......

like every other xmas game lol

Lads, it's goal.com - hardly a reputable website. 

and yet they got it bang on!
