So, whos going to take spoils of this match when we see adelaide united coming off a cruel loss thanks to the hands of the Jets while our boys are rolling into town with their first a-league win under their belt and looking for their first win at home.
 
Mybet goes with the Nix, probably 2-0.

being ex knights player and  all wasn't sure how we should treat him

Agreed!  Hope there'll be a disco or two amongst the chants.  Can't wait to see the Nix come out victorious!

Just ingore him, give the kiddies the WHo are 'ya.  Blokes like the Black Brockie and the Flying Mullet (Djite and Spagnuolo), hopefully Burns isn't available.

How's my driving? - Whine here

In his defence he desperately wanted to play here but when things looked all but dead and buried had to answer Adelaide's contract offer.  Things got resurrected here just too late.

He'd been telling anyone in Melbourne who asked that he wanted to be back here up until that point.

 i really liked him,  i wanted him and leilei gao too  stay ,shame how it came about.
he was one of the better mid fielders  Paul Nevin recruited,never understood him getting Scot Gemmil in for the knights though that wasn't wise

Adeliede arent too bad (they were just as unlucky as we were against the Jetz (who are boring, but 2nd on the ladder!). Im going to say a draw (while desperatly hope for a win). Theyve got some good players especially up front wiht Burns, Djite and Agostino. I loved Salley too (i dont think it was a coincidence that wen he didnt play the Knights were crap or crapper) but now hes a t**ser!

I dont know, i mean adelaide did look good against the jets, but i mean we rocked the boat against sydney.
 
I think were just starting to gel and look for us to hit form in the next coming matches, having the next two at home is vital, i think if we can take 4point from 6 weve done f*kn well, but im predicting us to take 6 from 6.

yeah - at least one win is important - otherwise it will be four games in a row without a home win - enough to turn the casual fan off! 2-1 in favour of the phoenix I say.

Adelaide are going to be really tough with Burns. They looked sh*te last week but Burns carries that team.

I'll say 2-1 but wouldn't be suprised if it was a draw.

If we score first - it could get 3+ I think.  The main thing I want to see is a clean sheet, we've been pretty solid in defense but seem to let easy goals in early on.  If we can tighten the off-the-bat defense I think we're going to do really well.

Score first and clean sheet, I'm saying 2-0

Well maybe if we do go 2-0 you think ricki will give george a run or just play it safe?

I'm going 2-1. 1-1 at half time then a stunner of a second half to bring it home.
I think we've worked out that the round thing goes in the rectangular thing (instead of over the top of the rectangular thing).

Our defence is now top notch, and I think Smeltz is due a goal too.
