This is it

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

This is it. The last chance we have to sell the Phoenix opening game to work mates, clients, and hot girls from finance departments. Lets make the most of it.

The key to selling this Sunday's game is not the sport (although we all know that football is the greatest sport in the world to watch), the size of the crowd (we will get a good attendance, but obviously not as big as an All Black test) or the team (we have a great team, but finishing mid table would be a success for us). The key to selling this game is the atmosphere. There is no other sporting event in the country that has an atmosphere like a Phoenix game.

Repeat that - there is no other sporting event in New Zealand that has an atmosphere like a Phoenix game.

There will be chanting, which will be a combination of abuse, humour and encouragement. There will be people standing for the whole game, which means jumping, arm thrusting and scarf waving. There will be hatred and aggression fired off to the opposition players and the referee. There will be worship and love directed at our lads, as we let them know we support them no matter what.

Let�s get as many people to the Ring of Fire to see this.

I saw Greg Draper being picked at the airport in Wellington by quite a hot chick who obviously worked for the Phoenix - was it her??

Don't know if nervous is the right word but I am certainly in an "anticipatory mood". 
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.

Frankie was my captain once, most of his half time talks involved obscure jokes or references to people I'd never heard of.  Now his programme notes were a different story...

Normo's coming home

I'm getting excited toffeeman, had 5 or 6 Nix conversations at work today, some folks are going, some are not sure (i think when they say "not sure" might mean "shut up Ed, we know you're excited but give it a rest will ya?)
 
little do they know, it'll just get 'worse' as the season goes on!!
 
I reckon Frankie's right, it is the atmosphere that makes football so f'in good!!!

Good call Frankie. I ditched covered platinum seats at half time to go join the other YF lads and had a blast! The fact that I've had more fun at an A-League preaseason match than I've had at any Lions match...cannot wait until Sunday!
