Nothing on it for both teams, playing in front of three men and a dog. Hardly likely to be a classic.

3 times the size of a Chelsea crowd then

Good on you, Singh. It's just fun seeing a Nix player actually smiling after a goal. We've been a pretty miserable lot for a while.

It really depends on your definition of 'about' doesn't it!

Singh and Cacace impress me because it's not just the odd moment that they step up - it's their general play; Cacace's defensive positioning and Singh's calm passing out from pressured situations. It's really, really impressive and showcases the work we've done at youth level over the last few years.

Cacace has had Australia's new golden boy in his fudgeing pocket.

It also perhaps shows that we should expect more from a guy like Ridenton, who we perhaps give a bit of leeway because he's a young kiwi coming through.

Totally. Don't want to speak to soon because young players can so often fall by the wayside, but Cacace is the best young kiwi player I've seen since Rojas. Hard to believe he's only 17.

Roy has the yips. Working so, so hard. Deserves a goal. Another great ball by Singh.

Well this is a fudgeing nightmare situation for me. Having to rely on the Planes to beat the Gypsies to #avoidthespoon.

Makes me feel dirty.

Feel like I need to go scrub myself with a scourer to get the filth off.

I take a lot of pride in Cacace having Arzani in his back pocket; a player who has been lauded as the next Kewell, next Viduka, next etc. by most of the Australian footballing public.

Good to finish with a win, you could tell everyone really wanted it. Has been a wretched season but there have at least been some positives to come out of it these last few weeks.

Cacace's composure on the ball is what impresses me the most. Have we ever had a left back that can play an accurate pass to get out of trouble rather than just bombing a long ball forward? I don't think his future is in LB to be honest, he's showing too much promise not to play a bigger role.

Exactly what I thought. I think his future is as a DM, personally - has all the attributes to be a great one. In saying that, it is nice to have a full back who doesn't give me a heart attack...

Comparing him to Galloway does not end in a favourable conclusion for Scotty.

Arzani absolutely owned cacace in the first 15 mins, who was still making naive errors through the first 30 mins. Good to see him settle, get back into it and show his skills.
