vs Sydney FC, 6th Oct 7.30pm

Sydney are TERRIBLE.  We must get 3 points here

Brockie couldn't get it out from under his feet!!

great pressure-cmon Phoenix

 We don't even have to bring Pav in off the bench! Awesomeness.

Sydney are a rabble - we have to kill this off

Fever is quiet at the mo,  cmon lets have some noise

This obsession with playing out from the back without the defenders with enough ball skills to cope is going to cost some teams this year.

Sydney defence MIA. Cross early and often, eventually their dodgy keeper will let one fall to a striker

Hope Antonis is OK. Getting stretchered off AFTER being subbed off is a worry.  Hopefully he has just cramped up really badly.

FFFFFEEEEEEEENNNNNNNTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fentonnnnn!!! what a goal

 Manny again, such a great finish by Fenton

Called It!!

Yeeeessss well in Fenton 2-0

What a debut

Bloody Ricky Herbert never blooding youth/ Bloody Ricky Herbert only ever playing long ball/ Bloody Ricky Herbert always sitting back only focused on defence.

 "Terrific football from Wellington Phoenix". Not something you often hear from Aussie commentators.

Good morning sports fans! Just woke up and great news! What a start. Two thoughts:

This is the quietest match thread ever. Attendance at the game must be good :)

My A-league app says nix possession at 41%. Is that accurate?

 7 degrees, true fans there with their shirts off

Crowd sounding awesome

Very nice win. Sydney are rubbish but hugely promising signs

 Best start ever

Good win boys,  great way to start the season.  Happy days

Cheers charliec, didn't sound right given the general flown of the game and other stats.

Aaaaaaannnd...win! Let's do this over the ditch a few times now. 

 A really great win.

Have to say that I have followed Brockie for years now and on that performance he is overated.

While I've been unable to find a working stream, following comments here and on the a-league website sounds like we've played Sydney off the park.  I hope we can take this kind of form across to Aus and win more over there now.

 Great win, well done.

 top stuff, great start.

kids now pracitsing flying headers in the lounge

Unlikely to repeat this form in round two unfortunately.  Still worried about that

 Not sure that's fair, lots of talent wont be playing Tahiti.

The second verse was the same as the first.Hahaha

Epic

 Quote of the day from Mark Bosnich: "There's an old saying - you've got to win the battle before you can let your football take shine"

That is deep.

Fox guys apparently in mourning for a woeful Sydney, while praise for the Nix is coming between gritted teeth.

they had tonights game

Manny was immense. I hope no Chinese club was watching that or he would be snapped up. First time I have seen Fenton play, lovely touch and appears to have so much time. Thought Leo did well as well
