Yeah, NZ club record, soon to be shattered when the Phoenix have a home Grand Final.

Great result, and great to see we were the ones finishing the strongest and not for a lost cause too.

Possibly should have snatched it, but great result anyway.

Piney and the team did a great job on the radio, good news for us without Sky to hear a great commentary team, the second goal celebrations were mint!

Well done Ricky, Terry and the Boys

Agree with the comments guys that it could mean a good turnout in a fortnight.

I think you guys can be proud, new team in a new city to get that sort of crowd.
 
How has the marketing been prior to the game?

Fair play to you 'Nix.

As a Victory supporter I'm disappointed at the drop in our intensity towards the end there. But there's no denying - you belong in this league, you make the Knights look like the hideous, stuttering joke they were.

Ignore the Sydney poster in this thread, classless git couldn't care less if you lived or died besides beating us. It says something about them when they think they can gloat about a Melbourne away draw when they lost at home...

Settle mate, don't get too far ahead of yourself. You played well and deserved the draw, but yeesh.

f**king awesome game - watched it on TV here in Aucks.
 
The A-League is bloody tough and no question we've got a team thats gonna do well. Although Ricki will be happy to take a point he'll know we could have and probably should have taken all three.
 
All you supporters at the game were f**king great too. Am sure with the atmosphere you created and the way the Nix played we've got a good thing going.

I'm sorry, got a bit excited, but I still think we can make the top four, and from there maybe the final!

Calm down ladies, both of your teams are average and will finish around about the bottom of the league.

See? Welly are trying to celebrate a great result for them, an MVFC supporter comes on to congratulate them for the result, and these clowns want to make it a Sydney-Melbourne thread.

We all know what you idiots think of Melbourne, leave it out and let's welcome the Phoenix to the league the way they deserve.

EDIT: Everyone except loyalgunner, that is.

We should have taken the points, but how good was that last fifteen minutes? This is how I remember football  Phoenix shirts coming to Melbourne this week, no doubt that there's a SMELTZ 9 going on the back of mine.

Felipe injected some much needed pace into the game, he and Daniel MOTM for mine.

Respect Nix... Awesome come back... 
 
Tard scum were lucky to scrape in the draw with your Penalty miss and hitting the post!
 
Suck sh*t Tard scum!!!  
 
Daniel and Felipe look the goods! Smeltz also impressed me... Its gonna be a tight league this year and the Nix look like challenging for a top 4 place!
 
 Oh yeah the atmosphere was awesome... heard the chanting loud and clear..

Tards, Sydney muppets.  There is now moderation here (albeit slightly lagered).  If you must have girlie fights pleas leave it to the Tard Board and SFCU or even better take it to The World Game.

Thanks.

How's my driving? - Whine here

what a game!! the fever zone was pumping, especially the last 20 mins.
Daniel impressed again hes my man of the match, he linked up with felipe real well when he came on.
cleberson is really solid, but defence still looked abit shakey.
we looked best when we played with width.
For the first round im stoked.
was the ref really as shoking as we made him out be?? haha i'd like to know what it looked like on the tv

Just got back from the game. Was awesome. Had few heart attacks watching Daniel hit the post and someone else hitting the post in the dying stages though.
 
Was Felipe impressive or what? That corner was pin point stuff. And who put the cross in for the 2nd goal? Beautiful.
 
I think Daniel was trying a bit too hard in the first half and the team looked very nervous as a whole. Cleberson and Daniel stepped up hugely in the 2nd half. Also thought Aloisi was more noticable.
 
All in all, it was a great day out and i'm sure everyone will be coming back! (though the huge lines were a bit worrying. Had to be at least a thousand lining up for tickets)
 
I wanted to go to the fever zone but had family commitments  Was still well worth flying over for, though.
 
PHOENIX TILL I DIE!

The game was emotional!

What a buzz being there, the crowd was awesome! Yellow Fever, hats off to you guys! Only event that beats that @ the stadium is the sevens, have never heard that sort of noise or witnessed that atmosphere at any other rugby game! Wellingtonians know how to support a team, Auckland where you at?!

As for the teams performance, Felipe was my pick for MOM. He injected pace and lifted the whole teams tempo. Cleberson was a rock at the back as was Dodd, what a centre half combo they are!
Thought Old and Christie both had very average games, but Lochhead was solid @ LB.
Agree with who said it earlier, Daniel did not look at any stage like he was gonna nail that pen.

Roll on the next game!

Tch tch tch, I am disappointed. Here I am trying to be a good sport and congratulate you and this is how you repay me? If only you took the chances to show your class that your team did. No need to ban me, I'll see myself out :D

Posts are welcome... there are dozens of other forums for "Sydney vs Melbourne" arguments, that's all.

Hey Kiwi Pie, a real pleasure, you and the lads have been great value all weekend.  Have a safe return trip.

Interesting. Didnt you think he lacked any drive in the first half and seemed lumpish in the beginning of the 2nd???
 
Round the 65th minute mark he looked on his game again.
