Reason for watching Phoenix.
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Eariler in the evening Dairyflat's sister said, in response to my talking about the buzz and passion around Phoenix, "I just like being able to sing the rude songs!".

I just love when my nurse lets me out for the day to go to the football ,even lets me take the special jacket off !!

The answer to life's problems are rarely found at the bottom of a beer glass - but it's always worth a look.

seeing mens nipples

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Win or lose, the experience is always worth turning up for, the atmosphere, the beauty of the game, and using it as an excuse to hang out with one of my best mates when both of us are usually inundated with study haha. And the huge buzz when we win beats any drug.

Because of moments like Elrich's "turn-on-a-dime and pot it,right hand, top corner" ..WHAT A GOAL..BEAUTIFUL!!!!We were ALL on our feet at that moment... a "Fan-bloody-tastic" Phoenix moment for us Yellow Fever Supporters.
and another moment..,  
Petrovski steps up, to another milked penalty, (imo!) and puts it wide... YES!!!
Were We Not AMPED, Feverites??? It seemed like sweet justice, at the time...
'course the CCM forums are probably saying sweet justice struck back in the 90th +1 minute..!!!
Win, lose or draw, that's football, thats OUR Phoenix, and its HERE, in Wellington, and WE love it!


  Improving,,on the up, a work in progress from Italiano and the Nix. Bring on the bathroom bling in '24! COYN!
