R21 vs Perth Glory | Sat 14 Mar | 11:30pm | SS5

How come I'm quoted in this post and yet none of the pearls of wisdom in it are mine?  o.O

Edit: Oh yeah, I see my bit. Hidden in there. Major quote meltdown there?

You have to wonder what is wrong with a culture where changing your mind when proven wrong is an excuse to punch on you.

If only what you are saying were true. 

Has someone stolen the real Yellow Fever site and replaced it with some happy-pilled clone?!!!

Where is the ANGST!!???

Bring back the Angst!!!!

we're absolutely fudgeed. A geriatric nut job up top , a wage stealing donkey in midfield , 2 pensioners at the back and a bunch of u12s on the bench! Perth are going to steam roll us 12-0 :-) seriously though 2-2 draw

Junior82, I think you can retire now, your baton can be handed over to this safe pair of hands. 

Although KG19 does spoil it a bit by adding the last bit starting from "... seriously though...", but with time this reflex correction will be cured.

Great.  

I'm off to put a draw on the TAB.  Good odds!

We're going to get pumped. Absolutely and utterly drilled. Comprehensively cream pied!

Happy?

It's ok guys. A draw will get us top.

Thank Fudge Aloisi has his looks because he ain't going to earn a living on his brains.

 Perth have beaten Wellington twice already this season (2-1 both times, away and home) but both games were played in the first seven rounds before the Phoenix found their rhythm and a joy in rushing forward like swallows, one at odds with Perth’s natural inclinations.

It's not a nature discovery show about birds! 

Big fan of theguardian's writing when it comes to the A-League. We need more bird metaphors in this league.

Hehe, "swallows" 

Nutcracker?

Nuthatch

Olsen's Standard Book of British Birds?

Is Neymar Burns out for next 3? Socceroos have games on 25 & 30/3.

Was a decent striker though, spending most of his career in the Premier League, la Liga and Serie A (268 games in the EPL, la Liga and Serie A).

So his opinions must be worth something. 

Youngest ever foreign player to score in Serie A at the time in 1995.

Named in Socceroos squad Wednesday for games vs. Germany in Kaiserslautern on the 26th (NZT) and Macedonia on the 31st (NZT):

So looks like he'd be able to play for the Phoenix in their game on the 22nd but would miss the game on the 29th because the Socceroos ares remaining in Europe between games.

Muscat

Huge call.  Wynton is one of our two best players and no one listens to him. 

Robbie Slater had a long career as well and he isn't in the same hemisphere as a pundit and commentator as Piney and Piney played for Tawa and Wellington United.

'Good' footballers do not necessarily default to insightful commentators like they don't all default to being quality coaches.

I never realised that in order to become a jockey you have to have been a horse first.

Arrigo Sacchi.

sigh

I can tell you don't really mean it...

I like to see what Burns can do against the likes of Boateng and Schweinsteiger, hopes Burns scores, but otherwise I think they get trashed!

Brazil beat Australia 6 - 0, Germany beat Brazil 7-1...... Could get ugly and bring them back to ground with a thud

I would be happy for Germany to win 13:1 as long as Burns scores the one. But I think Germany will bring on a young team to test young players for next year European Cup and Australia is in a better shape after the Asian Cup, could be a fun game.

But back to the Nix, we will beat Perth 2:1!

Agreed. Last October I watched ME qualifier (in Europe) where Poland beat Germany 2:0 for the first time in history. This was a qualifier but Germany put on a mostly young squad to blood them despite this being a qualifier.   Poland played well but it was mostly Germany that was too inexperienced.  The same Polish team only managed to draw 1:1 with Scotland a week later (but the Scots played damn well).

Back to the Nix:  a six-pointer, clearly!  :-)

And good friends with David Beckham. Was asked by the team management to be Becks' buddy helping him to settle in when he came to Spain to play. Although the friendship might have been put on ice by Victoria B., after Aloisi was reportedly the person who introduced one Rebecca Loos to Beckham at a party.

It was all in a "Hello" magazine at the time, so it must be true.

Face it, we're staring down the barrel of a heavy defeat.  

We're gonna get dicked. Ernie's in way over his head. I'm predicting 5-0...Probably won't even watch this one....

I think everyone should set their expectaion levels to very low this weekend then no matter what the result against Perf, you will come away happier than you were.

Oh and have a Happiness bet on Glory too!

I think the point was chaps, that he thought we could catch up with a team ahead of us by drawing with them. Everything else is redundant.

Jeez that's some high level smack-talk.

Apparently they also have a Sam Worthington. Wonder if they want two.

Never again. I put the $20 from the TAB promo on the Jets to win a few games ago. I went through the motions of celebration when we equalised with 3 minutes to go, but it was all fake. I wanted that $160 more than 1 point. Not a true fan.
