where the bloody hell is Costa at!

I thought Kwasi was out for this one ??

Yea he is I'm pretty sure. I got that squad off the A-league website and it said he was in the squad but the Dom Post squad doesn't have him in the squad.

Kwasnik is out, thank god.

Fire + up = farken.

forecast is good - it might actually be warm at the stadium...

You have no shame do you?

Brown on the bench to be introduced later? or on to be taken off earlier?

Fact: our current dm have not done the job completely. Brown has been an international fixture, and captain and will bring New Zealand passion to the team. Fingers crossed. Also there has been a lot of opinions on him without him having much of a chance to prove or disprove.

But I think he has to get some game time in this game. Especially if the two holding midfield players rumour is true.

Plus I just want to see him play!

Gao too.

Go the 'Nix

GAMEDAY!!

Nix 3-1

a rather nice day to watch a match

Very Excited about this one. C'mon Phoenix!

2-1 Smeltz and Coveny goals to 1 Petrovski.

Costa please

Even if he plays crap he will bring energy that we have lacked.

Wont happen, but eh :/

Are we the only team that doesn't play any youth?

Brilliantly fine, NO excuse for a decent result and a large attendance!

Phoenix 3-2 Mariners. Smeltzy 2 goals and Gao. Crowd attendance has to be at least 10k on a day like today.

You really don't like him do you Ben?

As much use as a chocolate kettle.

We better win, I'm fringing nervous waiting for the game to kick off. The crowd number better improve as well. This game should be the turn around moment of the first month.

A win will see us as 1-1-2 which would be an ordinary but very weak start to the season with 4 points out of 12 points on offer. An non-win (draw or lost) means a horrible first month with 1 or 2 points.

I'm stuck in Hawkes Bay so I am experiencing a first - watching a Nix home game on the tele.

Just tuned into to streaming, my first watched game at the ROF, not much of a crowd visible, apart from Fever Zone

Aaaaah there you all are (camera pans around to eastern/sunny side)

For the first time this season I can't make it to Welly so am watching on TV.

WHy the f**k has Ricki gone for Johnson and DOdd in Central Midfield?  Thats sh*t!

Although I do have a better feeling that we might get 3 points today...

F**KING FIRE UP YOU C**TS!!!! Agent 472008-09-14 17:09:28

Siggy should have started 

Moss
Mulligan Durante McKain Lochhead
Hearfield Johnson Dodd Daniel
Smeltz Coveny

Loving that creative pairing in the middle. Plenty of tricks and flicks

Why is Dodd trying to make sliding tackles from behind right on front of our penalty area? DISCIPLINE!!!!

Whose on bench?

Mossy!

alright save from moss.

Great save Mossy. Shaky start to say the least.

Mossy! Back in form.

Petrovski almost scores. Nix playing similar to Adelaide game so far

Come On Phoenix!

Johnson on a yellow already

Just arrived, listening in from Noosa.  Cmon the Nix

God Bosnich looks like a poof.

Man Bosnich is old and fat now!  Surely we can beat that a couple of times tonight!
