R4 vs Melbourne Victory | Monday 3rd Nov | 9:30pm

better check the figures, the TAB runner at the top of this page is offering me 3.80 for the Newcastle Jets to conquer Liverpool....

$30 on a nix win. I'm picking two goals for Brockie. I confidently predicted he'd come right at the end of last season, and I was 100% correct on that one.

Is Berisha definitely out?

I'm going to Melbourne.

Simon Hampton tweeted that in the 11 v 11 match at training today Manny was at LB and Louis at RB for the 'first team'.

There are some very premature celebrations going on in this thread #jinx

Victory are still going to tear us to pieces because that's just what happens #antijinx

Leijer out is probably better for them - I can't remember the last time that guy played well. Delpierre would be a big blow, though.

PAX 4225.

Seriously...

I expect goals. Lots of goals.

Maybe there pax is different and doesn't include member numbers and is just tickets sold? So it's that for the Monday night game plus 23,000 members?

Or, it means that following the display in Perth, 20,000 members have "put their season ticket in a glass of beer".

Brockie's got pictures of him with a donkey?

On a more useful note, TAB is paying $1.85 for Liverpool to beat the Jets. 

They must have watched our game against the Jets.

We beat Melbourne V, Sydney and CCM draw, Melbourne City beat Adelaide, Newcastle draw with Perth.....

THAT IS CALLED TOP OF THE TABLE BABY

Possible, extremely unlikely, quite unlikely, very unlikely.

So, we won't be top.

Miracles are so pure they can only be made of little miracles smudged together - #megajinx

So looking like Berisha will be out few weeks, Del Pierre will miss the game and Archie is touch and go. http://www.fourfourtwo.com/au/news/horror-cup-clash-claims-victorys-stars

Bung a multi on that one mate.

Cue Connor Pain to go and score a hatful against us.   Eeeeuuuuch.

(in addition to the obligitory Kosta strike)

lend me ten pounds and I'II buy you a drink

Referee: Shaun Evans

Nix - P5 W2 D0 L3

Victory - P2 W2 D0 L0

wow all this is great news for us . cant wait for the game . fire up . I told you not to worry about thompson

I hear a few injuries and a suspension for MV from last night? 

Red cards to Georgievski and Leijer.

Injuries to Berisha and Delpeirre. Archie Thompson also was sick. So first two are out but other three have been listed in the line up but still chance they'll actually be out.

WTF! My fantasy squad is fucked... wild card time

Sounds like Berisha and Delpeirre had injuries that would keep them out Sunday, but Archie I don't know if he will be or not.

Speculated Victory 11 from their forums. 

Thompson is apparently just sick (so will probably play) and Berisha and Del Pierre are in the squad listed but with two to be omitted.

Melbourne Victory squad: 1.Nathan COE (GK), 5.Mark MILLIGAN (c) 6.Leigh BROXHAM, 7.Gui FINKLER, 8.Besart BERISHA, 9.Kosta BARBAROUSES, 10.Archie THOMPSON, 11.Connor PAIN, 13.Andrew NABBOUT 14.Fahid BEN KHALFALLAH, 16.Rashid MAHAZI, 17.Matthieu DELPIERRE, 18.Dylan MURNANE, 20.Lawrence THOMAS (GK), 21.Carl VALERI, 22.Jesse MAKAROUNAS, 24.Scott GALLOWAY, 26.Jordan BROWN

***Two to be omitted***

Ins: 11.Connor PAIN (promoted), 18 Dylan MURNANE (promoted), 22.Jesse MAKAROUNAS (promoted), 26.Jordan BROWN (promoted)

Outs: 15.Daniel GEORGIEVSKI (suspension – 1 week), 23.Adrian LEIJER (suspension – 1 week)

Unavailable: 2.Jason GERIA (ankle - 1 week), 4.Nick ANSELL (foot - 2-3 weeks)

Both listed as suspended on the A League squads list

WSW and Roar have byes.... kind of screws me with current squad.

That doesn't frighten me. Very average back seven. If Berisha's not there I reckon we have a great shot.

Someone better tell the TAB that MV have no chance.

FOX SPORTS News @FOXSportsNews

@gomvfc list Besart Berisha and Archie Thompson to face @WgtnPhoenixFC despite injury concerns from last night's 4-2 loss to @PerthGloryFC

Not before I get to the TAB tomorrow.

We are going to get humped. I just know it.
