And this is why I sometimes feel that the club is doomed - not because of the licence or the metrics, but because it's a broken brand even for the Phoenix faithful. Our ability to get excited about anything is broken.
We win by 6 goals away? "Boo hoo hoo, Krishna didn't celebrate / Rudan's going and taking all our good players with him".
No one here is not over the moon at the win afaik; it was just a strange game. I celebrated every goal. It's just more interesting to talk about other things than just add to the 'yeah we won!'.
There is a bit of hesitancy I suppose because CCM were the most godawful team I have ever seen in the league.
Totally agree on the hesitancy. This game is a good lead in to the finish though.
Worst five sides for me:
5. Shambolic Sydney (2010–11 Sydney FC): went from league and toilet seat winners to 9th place; while not last a major collapse from the so-called leading club.
4. Failed Furries (2010–11 North Queensland Fury)
3. Clive Palmer's Kids FC (2011–12 Gold Coast United FC)
2. Sad-ass Salties (2018–19 Central Coast Mariners)
1. Knight's 'mare (2005–06 New Zealand Knights)
No's 1 & 2 are the wrong way round, no kiwi has been spanked like that (also season 06/07 was the Knights worst, only NZF taking over at the end hides that).
Plus Victory were dire too in the very first A League season.
Personally I want to see CCM finish the season poorly so that we can all finally let the Knights rest in peace. I'm sure CCM will turn it around and do well next season.
