On the subject of Fever pubs, noticed there's a Good George at Mission Bay now, prime location.
Not at $20 a jug thanks.

Christchurch based fans - We will be at Robbie's Riccarton again - 15th Feb - 7:00pm Kick off
Turn out was awesome last time.
All welcome.
We have overseas visitors - a family of four from Denmark - staying with us this weekend, so I thought I may have to miss it. However, after a few words, it looks like I am bringing them with me to Robbies tonight. They're looking forward to shirts off at 80 minutes.

Ah, you're in Australia, the beers no doubt blander than what the typical Wellington drink. I've got a six pack of fortune favours, naturalist for the complete phoenix home experience even if I'm watching on my TV.
Looking fir a stream - couldn't make it to Auckland and family keeping me at home....

City talking about pitch already!
One stand empty (closed?) but looks like a healthy crowd.
Theres been some pretty sloppy turnovers at the back
That was close
Poor Ball.
Beat the keeper and on target but still saved.
What the heck is Marinovic up to?
Nix so toothless in front of goal, City the better side.
How is that a foul?
Good pace to the game so far. City looking dangerous on those quick breaks. Good end to end stuff so far. Great looking crowd too!
Davilla's ball control surprisingly off tonight.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
I hope it stands
off side?
Yea Steiny
That sucks - come on boys keep your heads up
Too good to be true!
Noooooooo.
Musta been clear and obvious to VAR.
Is the keeper drunk today?
ruled that it came off hooper. Bollocks it did.
Libby's been great so far. Such a mature football brain for a 19 yr old.
waldron strikes again
it did touch hopper but it looked like they were in line with him when it touched him seemed very harsh
waldron strikes again
He's chalked up a few, that's for sure.
Really playing with fure at the back. Some of our giveaways today have been poor at best.
Need to tighten that up, otherwise the likes of Luna, Susueta & Maclaren will pounce.
Fairly entertaining game, lots of unforced errors from both sides which is concerning.
In no particular order:
Marinovic has looked shakey especially in his distribution
Cacace seems to have forgotten how to take a throw in (or is it just me who saw that two or three times?)
Matti and Devlin are doing really well, no surprises there
Davila has barely been seen and his touch has let him down often
Ball and Piscopo having a good game, lots of running and getting themselves in dangerous positions
Hooper not there yet. He can change a game in the space of one second or with a touch but for the rest of the time he just looks like 3 yards off the pace and knackered by the 35th minute
Jesus this is a frustrating game. Why have we stopped trying to pass through midfield? Both Devlin and Steinmann keep missing obvious runs, going back to Taylor/Devere, then Taylor and DeVere play a shark chipped ball which is easily defended. I don't get it. We've started to do this over the last few weeks - I thought it was just because Steinmann wasn't playing, but there seems to be a real lack of confidence.
Piscopo is also the master at trying to progress the ball in the hardest way possible. Driving me insane watching him today. Gets the ball, tries to beat two players, falls over, repeat. Just play the fudgeing pass.
Davila poor, but that's because the entire creative burden is falling on him (again). Piscopo/Steinmann/Devlin have to do far more to progress the ball if we want to get anything out of tonight.
Hooper has been poor. Again. Doesn't deserve to start.
City keep overloading Cacace's side because they know we won't bother to use TAHW even if he's completely free. I
