vs Glory Sun 23rd 5pm

Ya cant argue with 4-0 though.

Pretty pleased with how things went tonight. The Sausages were excellent, mashed potatoes were much more consistant and the steamed veges were solid at the back. Only disappointment for me was the lach of gravy but I suspect that after shopping day this week that will be resolved so that we dont suffer a repeat performance next week!!!

great to see Lia get the goal his excellent season deserves.
he and Sigmund should be first names on the team sheet

Toto told me he wants to leave the club on facebook before deleting me as a friend.

So then (modestly shuffles forwards and takes a bow). Who was the ONLY one to predict this score?

WHO DA MAN???

Might be best for all.

 

In all fairness you are usually one of the only ones who does predict a score.

If, Grandadi, you are so damn smart then show us your TAB tickets to prove it!!!

They used to burn people at the stake in Salem for doing less.

It was nice to see Toto running along on his funny little legs, with his silly little haircut.
Though.. yeah, he was average.
I like him alot, but he won't stay.

We'll never get anyone so short with the nickname 'Toto' ever again..

My guess of 3-0 was close... but damn! 4-0 is way better!

STILL WE WON FOUR f**kING NIL SO WHO GIVES.

Is Velaphi the biggest muppet goalkeeper in the league. Own goal. Nearly caught out by Vukovic, an absolute flapper for the last goal. 

Know what? I never bet ,and never have. Can't argue with my prediction, eh?
WHO DA MAN??
Can I be promoted to "Legend" now?

That was one bizarre game. The wind was blowing all sorts of directions, the rain never let up and the grass was shorn shorter than ToTo's sideburns. Some of the play was down right comical. Never seen so many overhit passes.....they just skidded and rolled away. Hard to judge performances but they could have played another hour and Perth would not have scored.

Rojas has genious feet.

Yeah I picked that a few pages back

Was a cracking result, last 20 were a bit off but great result!

Marco was amazing, i had the benefit of sitting on the west side in the first half where he beat his man every time.

rojas is unstoppable at this level

matter of time til he's off, phoenix need to have something to show for him before he leaves for bigger things... new contract is a must

'

Don't get me and Clarke mixed up.

we are trying to secure a contract with him, apparently Ricki has been talking with his grandfather.

Think he has it right, I wouldn't waste my time stalking anyone.

I hope for 2-3 year contract then see him off to a bigger & better league, my ultimate hope for the situation.

The heart tells me your right,but my head tells me he might be too 'old' by then.

Yep, id be disappointed to see him move to another A-League club. The one thing that annoys me the most is players hopping around the league. Its ok for someone like Kosta who wasnt getting the minutes thus moving or players moving onto a bigger/better overseas league, but otherwise there arent enough players just staying put and staying loyal.

Would be a huge loss if Rojas goes,

a fine win - in pretty crappy conditions

today's game was brought to you by the letter "V"

thanks to Velaphi for his contribution

and i reckon Vinnie owes Rojas a beer

shame Vukas' 'shot' didn't go in

Very funny listening to Dewhurst trying to work out what you fullas in the Fever zone were calling every time Vuka got the ball. It took him till half time, even then I guess someone must have told him!

who with? Most bookies dont count own goals for the first goal scorer.You might still have a winner.

so happy with the win!

here's a article from NZPA, my question is who is Paul Greenacre, I'd like to meet him!


Phoenix win big, inch closer to playoffs

The Wellington Phoenix banked three precious A-League soccer points with a handsome 4-0 win over Perth Glory at home today.

The result saw the Phoenix move up one spot into seventh with 32 points and inching closer to a top six playoff spot.

The Phoenix could make another move up the table if they beat league leaders Brisbane Roar on Wednesday in the flood-postponed match before another home game on Sunday against playoff rivals Newcastle Jets.

Brisbane Roar top the table on 53 points followed by Adelaide United and Central Coast Mariners with 46 each with Gold Coast United fourth on 42.

The final two spots are up for grabs in what looks like a four-way battle between Melbourne sides Victory (34 points) and Heart (33), Newcastle (31) and the Phoenix (32).

The Phoenix dominated their game against 10th-placed Perth today with teenager Marco Rojas once again playing a starring role as tormented both flanks of the Perth with his fast and tricky runs.

Perth were pinned in defence for long periods in the first half but somehow kept out the Phoenix raids.

Phoenix midfielder Tim Brown had the first look at goal inside one minute of the kickoff but nodded a clinical Rojas cross wide from three metres out.

The Phoenix's goal, when it came in the 10th minute had an element of the bizarre.

Fullback Troy Hearfield's looping shot beat goalkeeper Tando Velaphi and bounced up from the bar. Velaphi comically knocked the ball into his own goal as he tried to secure it while challenged by Brown.

The Phoenix hit the cross bar twice more in the half - once when goalkeeper Danny Vukovic's clearance sailed into the opposing penalty box with the help of the southerly and its bounce beat a stranded Velaphi only to find the woodwork.

Defender Andrew Durante and striker Dylan Macallister were left kicking themselves as both missed from point blank range as the ball pin-balled around after another Hearfield cross hit the bar and bounced down.

The second half was a totally different story.

With Rojas near unstoppable everytime he got the ball, the Perth defence were run ragged.

Macallister opened the scoring when his low freekick from 25 metres beat Velaphi after deflecting off defender Steven McGarry.

Another jinking Rojas run that tied two Perth defenders into knots ended with another sharp cross that Lia struck into the back of the net from just inside the penalty box in the 60th minute to give the Phoenix a secure 3-0 lead.

Substitute striker Paul Greenacre had the last say on the stroke of regulation time, heading home a cross from Lia on the right.

Just saw the goals, Colonel Velaphi had a shocker.

It also says Troy Hearfields header hit the cross bar, not Nicki Ward

"In all fairness" I read, then it turned into a blur......
THE Prediction was?
The Result was?
The bloody awful vuvuzela racket didn't last long enough to affect the result IMHO
Stop it. Don't do it again, please. Sing OUR songs and be proud!
I think you may have meant "source", or were you being saucy?
Grandadi2011-01-24 08:40:19

Wish I was there for the human vuvuzela, sounds amazing.

Nah the best thing was whenever Vukovic got the ball: Shoooot!!!!

At what minute does that shot happen? Need to see it.

According to the match thread 5:27.So about the 30th minute?
