The Happy New Year Thread - Highs and Lows of 2013

Happy New Year Fever. You guys are (mostly) ace.

My high of 2013 was beating Sydney. I hate them a lot. And my low was Christchurch, which I also have a strong dislike for.

Yours?

Thanks - same to you! My high was a day out to Wellington (even though I have a particular dislike for it) and my anticipation of a free drink from a yellow fever member. My low was the disappointment of not getting the free drink - never mind Mario Bilen bought me one.

;-)

Happy New Year!

My high was the trip to Auckland, a great time with fantastic people and we bought three points home with us.

Low would be the game that we don't speak of.

Low would have to be chemical ali on this forum.

Which is saying something considering the competition on here.

Not sure about the high yet (#annushorribilis).

High - most of the guys on YF

Low - some of the guys on YF

High - beating Sydney the other week to finally break the drought

Low - seeing Ifill stretchered off in the same game

High - Ernie

Low - 7 weeks a wandering

and the Mexico home game: a pretty special night all round; dinner, friends, a pretty decent international side at the tin, a sparkling warm clear night, a somewhat unleashed AWs side and a couple of AW goals (if that qualifies on a YF forum)

High - AW vs Mexico 2nd leg

Low - Ifill :(

High - the steady improvement of the playing style - Gareth coaching notes must be having an impact
Low - the win drought 

Highs: Bus trip to & from Napier, How the HN masks turned out, and we've still got a professional football team in Wellington.

Lows: Ifill's injury, The CHCH Crowd, The Auckland crowd. The Dunedin Crowd, The Napier crowd - Come on guys, some fans (Including season ticket holders) inWellington miss out on games to give you the chance and you sit there in silence or are overly drunk and annoying. FFS sort it out.

Highs: Cashmere Tech winning the Chatham Cup (and Mainland Pride winning the women's league); Football Ferns wins v Brazil, China, draw with USA; any Phoenix or All Whites win...(or the All Whites just actually playing some games)...

Lows: Phoenix 2012-13 season; All Whites shambles (lack of meaningful prep for Mexico, shellacking in Mexico City etc.)...Mexico fans were actually being caring when they warned us to "prepare your anuses"....

  ho. ho. ho...

*giggle*

Highs: the arrival of Ernie Merrick and departure of Ricki Herbert

Low: no demonstrable improvement in the television commentary of Andrew Dewhurst...

Highs: Ernie

Lows: Ifill getting injured, the traveling circus of home matches and the Doom post's articles.

High: Trip to Dunedin. Great weekend with fellow fans who have become friends. Lots of alcohol and 3 points.

Lows: Ifills injury. Any home loss. 7pm Sunday games - not easy for an out of town fan.

Highs. 
- Cool Website and app
- Napier trip
- Smith V Telfer

Lows
- hangovers.

Highs?

Highs: Definitely Ernie. Love watching us play some decent football.

Lows: Christchurch. Sooooo disappointing. Still feel crap about the turn up and crowd.

Ifill as well. Poor bloke.

Highs - general watchability of nix games since Ernie took over.

Lows - absurdly long off season.

Happy new year feverites!

Highs:  

Fever Cup + 12 Pubs Weekend 

Ernie and the "new Nix"

Return of Jose (not Nix related I know)  

Lows:

Crazy long off season

Learning I'll probably miss the Auckland game + Fever Cup weekend in Feb :(

Rafa Benitez (not Nix related I know)

Might be quite hard to beat today in the next 364

High: NZ women doing awesome and Ricki sailing off into the sunset

Low: 7-1 loss to Sydney and 5-1 loss to Mexico

Highs - Definately 12 Pubs + Napier Weekend!!!

Lows - Not enough Fever Zone action for me throughout the season :-(

Highs: The new Nix. More kiwis signing pro contracts in Europe.

Lows: The old Nix. Mexico. Losing the Northern League title on the final day.
