if parkhouse and tratt start again its going to be hell, the way parkhouse was caught out every time a through ball down the line occurred. Must be so frustrating for Rossi and Dura to have to cover central defence, defencive midfield and both wings.

I had an awful dream we lost 7-1 again.

If we lose 7-1, we should take our shirts off for Sydney. I am just hoping the weather stays as it is as I type, because this could be worth an extra 2 or 3,000 attendees.

Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

Didn't realise the lions were playing at the stadium today. Hope they don't fudge the pitch up.

Most lions fans are traditionally legless. 

I have given Ernie my permission to win tomorrow the forecast at the TAB is that good.

He's been doing a good job at Sydney as well, people forget how many ceos and coaches they used to get through before he arrived. The last few years of stability really has been an exception.

So maybe we should start a campaign for Tony P to replace David Gallop at FFA HQ?

Chances are high but anything can happen in football. I'll be sticking with it 'till the final whistle.

Besides I'm not tribal or fanatical  so can still enjoy football if its played well.

Last night I was watching the Adelaide vs Victory game.  With scores locked at 1:1 with 5 minutes to go Adelaide hit the post twice. Wave after wave of attack. And I thought "Surely the Reds must score any second now and they'll win this game". 

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

I detect fake pessimism. Now if you were properly pessimistic you'd book your Uber to pick you up right on kickoff time, as you'd be worried they'de be booked out at halftime.

I really want it to work - but can anyone objectively look at Lia as the sole DM and think 'yeah, that'll be fine'?
