Why the hell all this angst when we're two goals up?!? Hardly anyone was commenting all half while we maintained the lead.
a late ascerbic comment...."moaning" about 3 easy one on ones is fine.
A small town in Europe........looking to bounce straight back up....well that aint going to happen
Baro to appeal obvious scoring opportunity on the basis of the last 10 minutes
Good win..good nite

Kosta has to stop the 20 metre first touches and he may just score. On saying that, one absolutely woeful touch got a player sent off
going to get overrun here.

So FKN annoying what could have been, the last 2 weeks makes it even worse im afraid dont really want to hear any BS about it being good for next season.
Really impressed with this performance. Smeltz with the icing on the cake!
Little bit of history too, first time we've EVER won two matches against Victory in a season. COYN!
(Beat them 7-6 on aggregate over the season too!)
Can Roly be confirmed to be leaving every week? He scored some cracking goals.
We can still make it, not easy but we can make those 6.
great win, but I hope Patrick has some words to say about wasted attacks!!
Fantastic to win, Victory didn't much.
Not use to saying this after a 3-0 win but seriously, I think we showed some fundamental "issues" in our squad with some of that final third play at the end of the game.
If this game was the other way around and Victory would've buried 3 extra goals there...
We really could and should hqve scored 4 more goals. And yes, goal differences do count.

we won 7-6 overall.
Tards cannot lose 2nd place now and we know they can't finish Top.
I reckon they might be there for the taking tonight!
With the side they are putting out today that will be difficult.
Ahem!
I have never heard an intelligent comment from an aussie before.
If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

Honestly? You'd prefer the scorelines had been the other way around and we were spooning it?
Apart from appalling finishing in the last 10 mins, that was as good a performance as I've seen from the Phoenix in a long time.

Nah I understand.
We're finally playing at about 50% of our potential, Smeltz, McG and Moss on the mofo bench! dreaming. A team like that should be in the top 4. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. We have the players. Today we found out that Roly and Gui can play together. Who knew?
Great, historic win. but..terrible season.
Sydney has a couple players suspended and we are on a mini roll - bring on next week.

Edited, but you beat me to it.

It was actually an early negative frame of mind....looked like it for first 15 mins till they went one down. Glad to be wrong..COYN

Ballane is right, if they had turned up in at least 4 other games this season, like this, we'd be well up the ladder.

Defending was fantastic.
A-Rod, Dura, Rossi, Lia, Doyle...
felt a bit nervous with Fox on the right, but he held too in the end, with a bit of help.
Italiano made it look easy. Claimed corners, set up two decent chances with his releases...
Where have we been all season?!

Don't misunderstand me, I too am frustrated that we didn't play like this, for example, against WSW two weeks ago. But, you know me, I'm a sunny, New Age, bright-side-looking kind of girl. And beating the Vucktree in their own house is as good as it gets, historically.
Think if we'd finished the game properly and got 3 out of 9 of those chances and finished 5-0 we'd be happier, rather than watching class players butchers chances. Smeltz with an age to place it. Kosta, Roy.
Great win.
Greater yet to do though...
Is Italiano signed up for next season? Fantastic against Newcastle, very solid this evening.

Yet to be solidly tested, but has looked very good so far.
Helps to have Rossi and Dura in front of you and A-Rod and Lia in front of them.

The lack of finishing was a bit comical, but that was the first time I can remember the Nix really piling the pressure on a 10 man opposition.
