R20 v CCM Fri 21st Feb 9:30pm SS2 - Outhouse->Penthouse

They certainly save the best officials for us.

Can't believe we came back to take the win, let alone embarrass them at home. 

Here's a question what more gut wrenching, losing 5-0 at home or 4-1 after leading at half time?

Slept terribly last night but am not actually complaining! If that's how we are going to play for the rest of the season then I will happily become an insomniac!!!

Same! Got to bed after midders and woken up by 3mo baby before 6, yet I'm in the greatest mood... thanks Phoenix!

Burn my house, steal my car, drink my liquor from the old fruit jar, do anything that you wanna do, cos the Nix smoked the defending champs away last night.
Yeh I know the last line doesn't rhyme or rhythm, but who cares.

This is why I loved Tonya's overreaction last week. It's the A-League - one week you get smashed, next week you might smash the other team. Didn't think we would win after the 1st half though - bit of a shock.

why does everyone want to hear from tonya?

where are the comments you're talking about? Earlier in this thread or in the heart match thread?

We are marvellous. Hugs to the boys xxxx

looking forward to the pods alternative commentary now!(...probably wasnt if we lost)

alt commentary? Must say not a pod regular, fill me in?

Im guessing the steps on the band wagon are going to need replacing as they have been used shit loads this year.

oh no tonya!

What a result! Incredible!

Love reading back through the posts, 

1st half: We're doomed, noooo, crap, damn

2nd half: OMG, unbelievable, Yusssssss

Games like that is why I love being a Nix supporter.

T shirt idea.

"I'm not Tonya.

I'm still here."

I didn't see the Heart game because I was out of the country but how much worse was it than our first half last night? Because I thought we were pretty pants in that first 45, although not as bad as CCM were in the second

@paulm. The pod lads were going to do an alternative commentary for this game and post it online somewhere.

Moments like this I always think back to a quote from Private Frazier in Dad's Army. After roasting Mannering, usually behind his back, he'd come out  with "Never doubted you for a minute". When things turned out ok.

But we know whos been there during the good times and the tough ones. New fans are always welcome but I find it hard to accept glory hunters that show up only when we are doing well. Then they roast us when we are shit.

muscat, Lia, Cunningham all pretty big on that image....

from this it appeas as though they thought Boxall was the weak link in the defence - daft - even if the goal did come from his wing, it was more Lia's lazy tracking and siggy picking up bernie late that caused it.

I'll admit, I've never quite understood wtf that 'player influence' chart is supposed to illustrate. 

I'd say the player influence chart is used to show which players had the most influence on the game.

This is why I love watching football. One week you guys are flattened by some great Melbourne Heart finishing and then you bounce right back and put the A League champions to the sword. Even Brockie scored for Christ's sake! Now I understand why you're missing Reira's industry in midfield. I think ACFC is too. Still would like to see Krishna given more game time to show what he can do.

Anyway good for the Phoenix, that's the best answer you can give after being well beaten. I'm thoroughly enjoying watching you this season and I predict a top four A League finish. Anyone who isn't getting a kick out of this season is sadly boring and should spend their entire weekend mowing lawns.

Keep an eye out for the ASBP too, it is shaping up as a real cracker jack season.

this is cool - Nix goals from last few games (not including CCM).

I think Hicks' is my fave.
