R18 vs Newcastle | Sun 22nd Feb | 5:00pm | Bellevue Gardens Hotel

That's some good photoshopping

My Old Mans a Kiwi

He wears a sheepskin hat

He likes to fudge sheep up the arse

In his little Auckland flat

He has a sheep called Marty

He fudges it every day

When my dad gets a bit horny

Heres what you'll hear him say...

Oh Come Marty Come Marty 

Coooooeeeer!

Oh Come Marty Come Marty

Coooooeeeer!

I don't like to bet against the Nix but after our last 2 games $4.15 for the draw seems like decent odds

Because the penalty was given for an infringement at the front of the line out and nothing to do with it?

Under arm was such a dumbarse cynical dick move that is exactly why we sing the song.

You would have done better bringing up the Umaga and Mealamu hit on Brian O'driscoll. That was almost in the same catergory. The Hayden thing was just a lame bit of ineffectual numbnutnessery.

I accept most of what has been stated and could provide my perspective as a long-term immigrant but the discussion would run and run, so lets get back to the 'Nix and the next home game. COYN! 

I hope you filled in a report for TripAdviser

I wondered what Aucklanders did with sheep in their rooms. Haden's acting deserved a Razzie, But Oliver got infringed upon, hence the penalty

Good time to play Newcastle now they've axed nine players from the squad they started the season with and most of the support staff:

http://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/newcastle-jets-...

A club with no CEO since Xmas after Robbie Middleby quit - and no chairman (also quit).

New CEO hastily appointed to satisfy the FFA and enable Tinkler to keep the licence only started work on Monday.

"The exit of the support staff is expected to drive a bigger wedge between players and the coach."

"Stubbins is expected to rely largely on fringe and youth team players."

The five senior players, including the captain Jaliens and David Carney who had a year left on his contract are taking legal action.

Seems doubtful that Newcastle Jets will survive beyond this season.

Would you buy a used car from this man?

I'd report him if he knocked on my door trying to sell a raffle ticket.

"Hunter Valley mine electrician Nathan Tinkler borrowed big in 2005, made a fortune from several speculative coal plays, and by 2011 was a self-made billionaire. He had gambled and won, but his volatility and reluctance to pay his debts were making him enemies. He lived the high life as only a young man would, buying luxury homes, private jets, sports cars and football teams, and splurging massively to build a horseracing empire.

But Tinkler's dreams had extended beyond even his resources, and his business model worked only in a rising market. When coal prices slumped in 2012, Tinkler had no cash flow to service his massive borrowings and no allies to help him recover. Within months he was trying desperately to stave off his creditors, large and small, and fighting to save his businesses and his fortune.

In this impressive new biography, leading business writer Paddy Manning tells the story of Tinkler's meteoric rise to wealth, and captures the drama of his equally rapid downfall."

He can be quite funny I find

Not so sure..it was a good time to play WSW who hadnt won all season but looked what happened.  Also players always step up to impress new boss.

We can all agree that WSW is a solid team which was largely distracted by the Asian Champions League finals and probably ran out of puff by the time the new HAL season started. This happens to the best of clubs.  You kinda back yourself to start winning again if you are at that level.  Even when we won 1:0 at home I felt they were on their way up again (we only scored from the penalty spot that time IIRC).

In contrast, I do not think the same can be said about Newcastle at the moment. Their current player turnover is significant (senior players), and the concurrent loss of club personnel will not help in terms of smooth running.  If they make to the end of the season then it may be a new start in October 2015, and I wish them well. However  I cannot see where their new form on the park would come from this weekend or beyond.

If I was Ernie I would give our benched guys (Boxall, Boyd), and maybe also Appiah if he is ready, a decent time on the park in this game.

Probably because of the fudge shark cod. I find it funny how even though the words have changed, the intent is still the same, but nobody cares anymore. For instance when someone says Lia is shark, theyre not actually saying hes a fish, and people would get warnings all the time from the mods for bashing players. I dunno. Fudge it.

lol

The jets owner doesn't  like paying his bills on time. Kinda sounds familiar. I actually feel for the jets fans. They could end up without a team to follow. Not a nice situation. The jets fans I have met here seem quite good sorts, including those on the Fever bus to Napier.

Jets to beat us 0-2, We cant score and don't use fresh legs in the 2nd half.

Third most goals scored in the league. Best before Asian cup break. 

Jets 2nd least goals scored in the league. 

Yet you predict that Jets will score 2 and us 0 based on the fact that WE can't score? Seems logical......

Also how often have we not used 2-3 subs? Those subs that come on seem like fresh legs to me

Nah, some of them are cods!

I think its time we changes things up a bit to keep teams guessing. Fenton to left wing and Boyd to right wing with burns through the centre would certainly not be something any team would expect + would give us a chance to see what Fenton can do in his preferred position + using boxalls height from set pieces. Appiah and krishna to come off the bench and add even more explosiveness in the second half

I'm putting money on Jest. $8 is too good to pass up, and we're not exactly setting the league on fire 

We will hammer them. Save your money.

I thought you were anti-jinxing.

Poe's law. There's nothing so ridiculous said in earnest that someone won't take it as trolling/parody; and vice versa.

Anyoe able to offer sewig services for pockets on the end of a two pole banner?

Production is about 50% done. Shoould finish the painting tommorrow night (weather permitting).

Cricket Friday... ideally sewing on Saturday before the #Weenix, or Sunday am

Has anyone thought of using this chant:

Ole Ole Ole Ole

feeling Hutt Hutt Hutt

feeling Hutt Hutt Hutt

it's even kinda football connected:

You're putting the weight of 1-2 games over that of an entire season so far? Seems logical.....

Well, slice  it up Burnsy now
Pizza shout
Come on, come on, come, come on Burnsy now
Come on and work it on out
You know you slice, little Burns
You know you slice so fine
Come on and slice a little closer now
And let me know that you're mine, woo

Fever the Fever

Let Burns know its Pizza time again...

Fixed

Had a terrible dream that we couldn't even score against Newcastle

When Burns gets the ball and he goes on to score, we get pizza!
He's lethal and fast, we're all wearing his mask, we want pizza!

Hope that when he scores at the fever end, everyone puts their Burns mask on. That would look good on the tele, albeit a bit weird 

Louis Fenton won't play for Phoenix on Sunday. Sitting out as a precaution. Boxall at RB #ALeague
