v Cold Ghost, Fri 11pm SS3

wow, when is the last time he played for them? I remember when he first got to the club everyone referred to him as a "Barbados international" which later turned into "former Barbados international".

 

He played for (and captained) Barbados in 2008 World Cup and Continental Cup qualifiers

thanks, Paul

has deigo played in living memory?

if ifill isnt there, daniel deserves to start, he was showing some good touches last week and with more game time i reckon he will get better

I think he featured a handful of times last year ( a couple of starts and a few appearances off the bench).

Phoenix win = 3 Points.

Phoenix Draw = Arrgh/Meh.

So does that mean you want a loss or a Win more?

shame on all of you for wanting our beloved Phoenix to lose a match just so I will retire from the forums. 

so are we looking at no ifill again???

Guess pav is back.

The biggest decision is how we play without lia and lochhead.
Back 3 with manny shielding in front? I think it works the best for me the more I think about it:

                    Vukovich
    Sigmund Durante North
                     Muscat
             Ward           Brown
Bertos                                  Daniel
           Greenacre Mac/Pav

Ward has been really releasing Bertos and Greenacre more and more so think with two strikers in front of him he could become even more efficient. I think this formation utilizes our best performers in their best positions.

Any updates on Ifill's availability.

I'm hoping Toto will at least get 20 minutes on the field,
I haven't had a chance to see his skills and I want to.
I also want to see him and Daniel working together on the field this friday, as they're not bad at showing off their south american skillfull stuff.
;D

this

the window starts after this weeks games, so he should be playing if fit, and if gona play for barbados i think he is = will start

Goddamn daylight savings! I've been telling all and sundry that this game was at 10pm...

at least they won't miss it....

He is available: http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/4176691/Phoenix-striker-flys-to-aid-of-Barbados

A lighthearted bit of banter to try and get kiwis and others on the coast to attend the game!!

We have a lot of respect for what you guys do at the Yellow Fever. Hopefully your team doesn't perform Friday though.

Here is some more banter:

Fair play!!

Great compilation, you should have put in clips from that time you beat us.


Oh wait...

OMG torn....may have to support GCU for the first time ever.....Phoenix to take on for the fans

Don't be torn. If we were at home and our record was at stake, then I'd be torn, but as we're away, the optimist in me sees this game as win win

Pathetic.

We never win away anyway what a dumb thing to do  giddyup2010-09-29 18:17:48

lets hope for a draw then (btw never lost to GCU)

there's always a first time for everything 

yea, but it won't happen on Friday. However if it does, I will stick to my word and retire.

This thread has got very interesting all of a sudden.

i reckon we can sneak a win here, if we come out of the blocks like we did last week and defend tooth and nail like we did once bruce li-a got sent off, i think we can put a few past mossy. pav and greenie up front?

I can see it now, the headline reads. "woooooo whooooo is gone"Luis Garcia2010-09-29 20:33:36

yes.

If we lose I will make a thread called "whooooooo retires" and post my final statement.

It will be something psycho I can imagine it. But tbh I'm all for a nix win!

if we draw?

It may be just me but I'd personally prefer to read posts directly relevant to the game against Gold Coast. Whitby boy2010-09-29 21:00:23

Can we have like at a party where there is a kids table a YF kids table or whooooo's echo chamber?

GCU- where's your Smeltz gone? Where's your Smeltz gone?

Ifill's due for a goal I think.

Can't see Pavlovic starting. Though him coming in may allow Daniel to play as a central midfielder. Really interested to see how our midfield will shape up. Anyone seen how they're looking in training this week?
