Boxall playing very well tonight. 


Honestly, look what Merrick is doing with this team. What a coach.

This is the best football the Nix have played in AGES.

I'm emotional right now. It's the best part about following a team up and down, the ups are twice as good!

A lot is caused by Riera stepping up his game a couple of notches, I think - allowing us to play out from the back. Brilliant.

We def want 7, although I would be happy with not letting them score any.


I think they will come out attacking and we will get a few chances at the other end.

So this is how we play without Brockie ...jokes, he'd have had seven by now!


Boxall is a beast! how on earth did we ever think Fenton + Adams were better than him earlier in the season.

This will do wonders for our g/d. Back into positives. 

Kenny and Carlos are surely princes amongst men

@Patrick - remember the guy that called 4-0 and you said to put money where mouth is and put cash on the TAB? How's that call looking now? 

Just wow

Let's see how good Muscat is with his coaching



The question should be-- not how good is Muscat, but how good are the MV players?

Wow. Great first half. Riera could be a star. He's just producing more quality every game.

So Fred and Dewhurst are actually at the game for once?

probably the best half I've ever seen us play. No one had a bad half (except maybe Stein)

Reira amazing - Carlos and Kenny too

I like tautologies because I like them.

We have suffered a lot over recent seasons. Bad times. Sad times. Frustrating times.  But now. whooo-the-fuckin-hooooo!

Kenny's looked very good so far, not only his goal. He's running at his man and beating him 

In fact we havent had a bad player so far

Yes that would be one of the most complete halves from all players I've seen from the Phoenix against a 'big team' yet. 


The key question to be answered. When Brockie comes on, will we drop off? That will show his worth

odd to take Carlos off

Boxall is playing like he's been converted from a winger to full-back; not CB to full-back.


Hernandez off? What?
