==========================================

I loved it, especially for the sheer length of each sentence.

"looting of the right of an entire people who has been waiting for happiness and enjoyment of fair competition"

Would make a great banner if we had that much fabric

I feel like WSW could claim this forever. I definitely would if I were a WSW fan.

Just imagine it as a club motto - "Western Sydney Wanderers, looting the right of an entire people who has been waiting for happiness and enjoyment of fair competition since 2014".

That's the dream right there.

WE WILL DRINK RESHPONs....

  SOLD

OUT AWAY

   BAY?

That article is brilliant. Naturally the worst losers ever (WSW), will say that that they won it on merit and that the other team are just poor sports. Who were the Indian bookies backing? I mean 6 pnalties turned down does seem an extreme amount even if over two games.

What about:

"WE SAW 

YOUR MUM 

ON WENTWORTH!"

YOU USED TO

WEAR BLUE!

My line up:

Moss

Boxall, Sigmund, Durante, Muscat

Bonevacia, Riera

Burns, Rodriguez, McGlinchy

Brockie

Bench:

Italiano, Fenton, Lia, Cunningham, Doyle

Like it or not Brockie is the only striker we have. He should be starting until we find someone better.

This exactly.  every one of our strikers is in the 170 odd cm category so can not play a hold up striker role. too short.  brockie the only one tall enough at 183 cm.  As i said in another thread, shouldve tried keeping hold of stein ahead of krishna

One of the best things on the internet right now

double post, so um..............yeah.

Anyone giving away tickets for this game?

I thought Brockie came on and gave us something to aim at at least and he is actually harrying (sp?) defenders and keepers on the ball creating pressure.

wrong thread

Nope. I was advocating him starting and the reason why.

Its hard to say how long you can persist with him, we've seen in previous seasons in the a league he has what it takes, look at him when he was at newcastle.  Maybe a switch playing Burns behind him ala what arsenal have done with Sanchez might possibly help.  play Rodriguez right wing and mcglinchy left wing,

YOU

SOLD

OUT

Or a dig at Al Hilol:

LADIES

WELCOME

(also probably not a bad statement for the Fever Zone either)

Look at those odds. Already better than the best in Asia

Not sure that the balance of the team was right the other night. Needed a left sided player at left back to increase the pace of the ball going forward down that side

dont rate muscat on the left. need a lefty out there

Wanderer's training today:

Yet the RBB is against flares and don't condone them...

Santalab seems to think its great

Banner:

DOES YOUR PAROLE OFFICER KNOW YOU'RE HERE?

Probably too many letters though

Fact is, A Striker is better than Not a Striker, even if that Striker is Not Much of a Striker.

He offers a bit more defence from the front and tbh a lot of our play depends on that- shutting down the ball, turning over possession and quickly hitting the opposition on the break.

Carlton Cole is much more of a targetman. 

Ordered our first home shirts from Football Central's 20% off sale on Monday and arrived today so got it in time for Friday. Got someone from my team (who occasionally goes but not to every game) to take my partner's ticket too as she's up in Auckland so hopefully he enjoys it enough to go more.

Is timing of goals really an attribute for a striker? A goal is a goal.  

I'm not bagging either player, but over a season those chances, in tight games, are the difference between making the play-offs and/or securing a home play-off

or finishing up with the wooden spoon

To me it's bleeding obvious Welnix have to sign a marqee striker if this season isn't going to replicate the last 2. Anyone else?
