Disgraceful.

Any other team who got hammered like this by their closest rival at the bottom of the league would not have a manager the next day.

Do Welnix have the balls to act?

no

rojas, so special

Fenton, Boyd & other young players will certainly learn from this and I do believe they will be future good players for the club if they stay. They have been the hungry positives this season.

Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

Example? Evidence?
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Time to move onto Sydney B. Wooden spoon clash as well, but a 6 goal win could get us back into the top 6.

Has Ricki taken the team as far as he can? Is it time for a change of coach or a serious player overhaul? 

One of the items on my own Bucket list is to watch the Nix play an A League game overseas (Dunedin & CHCH don't count) but not if they are going to continually have such a piss poor away record. I want them to go there with at least a chance of winning.

Is it too old fashioned to find a man and tell him to man mark Del Peiro?

Then, maybe when ADP gets the ball, someone is within 10m of him

Have seen it happen at Hibs at least twice and many many other clubs in the world.  Bad run + hammering = sack.  Usually.

"Good luck for Wellington Emerton was offside because no one was marking him" - Of course no one was marking him he was three fucking meters off side. Stupid commentary.

To be fair we've not marked any Sydney player for the entire game, onside or offside.

For beeps sake. Second to every ball, every loose ball goes to Sydney. Once again the other team seems to want it more.

 The players and coach need to apologise to the fans for this performance.

The key to this game was that Del Piero has two good feet.

Thats two more than our lot put together.
