vs Sydney FC, 6th Oct 7.30pm

The two kids tickets i had have been claimed. 

Watch out for huge profanities in the FZ on Saturday.........................Thomas Rewi is in the house.

I bet he's picked up some colourful language from his stint up in Akld (was it with Rory's dad? Ironic if so given his chant)

Build a Bonfire, Build a Bonfire

But Griffiths on the top                          

But Del Piero in the middle

And we`ll burn the f**king lot

Q: You’ve also signed a few youngsters with potential - tell us about Ben Totori, Louis Fenton and Tyler Boyd?

A: Ben will be as quick and as lively as anyone in the league.  He’s a real wildcard.  Louis Fenton is the same - he’s only 19, and this is his first involvement in pro football, but he has rapidly gone from strength to strength. He’s a big chance to start against Sydney FC in the opening game.  Tyler is just 17 - he can play up top, but he’s better playing as a 2nd striker.  Technically, he’s very good, has a decent change of pace, and he’s played a lot in pre-season up front.  These boys aren’t far away.  Two of those will probably play against Sydney FC.

Fenton to start and Totori or Boyd likely to play then

 Pav - Injured. Not sure I believe that.

Are we going to reprise Where's your apple gone? for Emerton?

Now pay attention Fever

That is all!

Anyone think it weird that last year Ricki said the ASB Prem was not good enough and now this season we could start our first game with 2 straight out of there?

We've also signed 2 kiwi youngsters that has nothing to do with the finishing school and both are clearly impressive.  Contrary to what we have been told for ages kiwi youngsters are good enough to fill the U21 slots.  Not only that he says that one of them is better than 2 talented youngsters who have play for us and gone on to other professional clubs.

This only reinforces what I have thought for a long time (Herbert isn't up to much) but I will leave it to the rest to draw their own conclusions.

I can't link the article but search "herbert asb" on the Herald website and you'll find his comments from November'11 easily.

As it stands folks, I will now not be making the trip down to Wellingtopia tomorrow.

I have been let down massively by someone which has resulted in me not having any transport or accommodation sorted for tomorrow night!!! I am now really wishing that I wasn't so trusting of others.

#fuckingfurious!

This one?

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=10766785 

That's the one.  I couldn't paste the link apologies.

We now have 10 young kiwis attached to the club who weren't considered good enough 12 months ago.  So what has changed?

 ^^^  I think it is fantastic, and probably a change of direction with the new owners.

Anyway back to the game...

Heard on National Radio at the end of the 8 o'clock news that Del Pierro will make his debut against the Phoenix

Must be true  !!  Cant wait for the game

120 Km gusts at the airport....should be a great landing for the Sydney boys....well done Wellington

SOMEONE STEP UP AND HELP THIS MAN!!!!!!

Qantas arrival from Sydney 2.35pm.......I assume that`s the flight Sydney will be on....get your lasers out

May have a solution to my predicament! It does, however, mean that there will be less shapes cut at the Avenue post match this time around!!!

I have also arranged for an 18yr old mate of mine Mr Chivas Regal t visit me tinight and to help me through my dark times.

:-) 

I will be looking out the window here at work to see if the $ydney lads are staying across the road (at Intercontinental).  Will post here if so and then run out and give 'em a big WHO ARE YA?!

But we get 3 points.

Thanks to the fine people at Gooner4Life Transport Palmerston North Ltd for offering your driving services for the 2nd half of my trip down to Wellington tomorrow!

Look forward to seeing you all there.

JEREMY AND TOTORI

GO TOGETHER IN PERFECT HARMONY...
