Melbourne are toast but Kiwi Pie at least has the Champions League to look forward to.
 
Otherwise I mostly agree with you, Cos, except I'd put Newcastle last. It's all a bit like rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic now though, isn't it.

Sydney for me, because I rate a team that has come from nowhere to the point where they could go top tonight.  John Kosmina is still bonkers though.
 
Then CCM...
 
Then Newcastle...
 
....and Queensland a distant last.  I could not STAND it if they won it.

I'm supporting all 7 other teams to be stripped of all points and for us to be awarded the title.

Three for me, and two for them.

But you can stand if the self proclaimed Real Madrid (or was it Man Utd?) of Australia won it? Sydney are much more annoying than QLD. QLD play probably the best football in the comp too. (Seo, Tiatto and Moore are annoying but eh)  Kosmina is the only interesting coach in the A-League though - at least he speaks what he thinks.

How about  'financial irregularities' cause the top 4 to lose 20 points each, then we go into a play-off with the other 3 cellar dwellers. And we come out on top of course, due to a sudden rise in form.

Bling FC for me

My guess:  CCM won't win

Sydney, 2nd half of the competition comeback kings, and without their marquee doing well (mind you show me a marquee who has!)

Then CCM, they have hung in well,

Jets

Queensland

Yup, put me in the CCM and Sydney camp as well. Although after the way they've played recently, I think CCM are a bit of a long shot at the moment. Especially after they lose next weekend!
 
How anyone could want the team which has had the Knacker Cracker, Pieman Jardel and Jabba Laybutt in it to win anything is beyond me!

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

As much as I hate to say it i'll be supporting Queensland for the playoffs. I'm living in dirty old Brisbane now and I'd love to watch the final... even if my beloved Phoenix isn't in it.
 
I've actually been quite impressed with the way the Roar play too (apart from the diving and cheating...). They pass it around more than most teams and play some flowing football, unlike Sydney who make every game i've watched lately look ugly... even if they have been winning.

I thought Tiatto was outstanding last night and I had a chinwag with Stuart McLaren at the airport after their game against us. Seemed like a nice bloke. Despite that, I hope that both the Roar and the Jets get royally f**ked.

Quick Mod - break out the BANSTICK!!

Anyway - what the NZ Knights have got to do with Wellington Phoenix - I don't know, makes as much sense as sl*gging you for Newcastle's performance in the last two seasons.

Ha, he can't even read... superb.

Got to love the worst home end in the league bagging the Fever... completely smashed by the Sydney lads last night and they chose to get lippy today...
