No as well.

Definitely no.


I didn't watch all the games since not many covering in my city, but all the games I saw, seems we have the battling quality, but not enough fitness! The fitness level especially in last 10 minutes are always second, we conceded so many late goals although Moss made many world class saves. But if result not go to our way, manager should go.

NO

"I didn't watch all the games but the manager should go".  Seriously?

No. No he shouldn't. End of.

Not good if the nix have not done this. Two sides to every story. 

If so, Waffles can play the midfield role again.

Hold up. What nufc actually wrote was

 

"Is it true that Welnix haven't flown Carlos' family to Wellington yet ?????? No wonder he looks disinterested."

Completely different to what you guys are grasping at.

I agree, let Merrick finish what he has started. He's got the Phoenix playing good football. Results will come. You're just lacking a good finisher. Remember he took over the wooden spooners, so it was never going to be easy.

I think some people forget that. Last year we were well and truly wooden spooners. While we are 'not trending up' as Smithy may say, we are in a better place than last year. He has taken largely that same team and got them playing football. We are competitive for the most part and some players are not the right ones/not performing but there is that hope that its going to click soon now we are home again and the AW program has finished.

I could also take the negative slant on that and say "Well he has improved last years squad from shit footballer to about where they should rank" I guess it all looks positive compared to last year but in isolation, also does not look that flash either.

 

Either way, the coach is not the problem.

No other sources apart from that tweet? You'd think something else would have come up.

No wee mac for them. No carlos for us. A game without the players who pull the strings. Whose our nxt option? Waffles? Who is theirs? Flores?

I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.

What- does his contract say we'll fly his family out as soon as he scores a goal from open play?

Agreed, it's looking shakey considering nothing more has come up. We'll know tonight though. Apparently Fox Football also reported it (I think maybe on TV), but they haven't published anything yet

Bit of a premature ejaculation to call Carlos a cock before any of this is confirmed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

In linguistics, an ejaculation is a short utterance that usually expresses a strong feeling, often in an incomplete sentence (a noun phrase, or sometimes an imperative). Ejaculations are usually one or just two words ("Ouch!", "Christ!", "Shit!", "Shoo!") and in grammar are contrasted with exclamations, which do partake in the "normal" grammatical structure of a language. "God damn it", for instance, is a clausal exclamation, and "For Pete's sake" and "Up yours" are called phrasal exclamations.[1] (Clausal exclamations contain subject and verb; phrasal exclamations are groups of words usually from different parts of speech.)

In Roman Catholicism, an ejaculation, also called aspiration, is a very short prayer. Some common ejaculations include the Jesus Prayer, Come Holy Spirit, and Eternal Rest.[2][3]

True, I had thought I qualified myself slighty Mr Mainland.  But I do expect a most humble apology from your lovely self in the event I'm proved on the $$$.

By all means. I will stand corrected if that proves to be the case - I will be the first one to say that I've cocked up.

totally if it's part of his contract that welnix would bring his family over then the club has screwed up and should be accountable for it.....I'm sure he wants to play, but noone can tell me they'd play 100% if they didn't know what was happening with family members

This may be the chance of a replay of last week's midfield with Waffles sitting where Carlos would.

On the surface it looks like the Nix and Carlos had an argument re: bringing the family over. Carlos goes f*ck you and is sent home. Still fuming as he sees that he's been wronged he goes to talk to the press. The Nix gets wind of it and intervene. The Nix then release a statement saying Carlos is injured.

Or Carlos is injured and the press are shit-stirring

Either way someone at the club has f*cked up and we again look like dicks.

Great season.

Some guy on Twitter that would not appear to have a real connection. We may want to tread carefully with this.

Well if it is true then fair enough. If my employer sent me to Costa Rica for a couple of years and said we will fly your family over for Christmas (or permanently for that matter) and didn't deliver I would be on the next plane home.

Ah... hang on. Isn't Carlos on a coupla hundred grand plus? What price an airfare?
