A huge match to start the New Year off.
WPM R10 vs Melbourne City | Mon 2nd Jan | 3:00pm | RoF/SS1
Kid's go free btw.
Melbourne by 3 :(
Coming down to Welly for this. Let's smash them Nixxx
It will be a tough game. M City are playing well right now while we are finally gelling together and should give the visitors a run for their money.
The Aussie's are expecting things to be foggy in Wellington...
From KeepUp's match preview...
"The Phoenix – led by the form of their imports – are in the mist of a three-game undefeated streak"

If we don't let McLaren score from a pen our midfield and strike force should be able to crack them. I don't want a draw. We need to win this. The ladder is so tight, we need 3 points.
18th minute round of applause for Waine anyone.
Kinda weird, but ok.

He might not be with us anymore but he ain't dead.
Probably too late to get Good Luck Ben onto the Fever's pullover banner.

If the fever sung the Ben Waines on fire song, someone recorded it and got it sent to him that would be a pretty slick way of showing the support for him.

We could get that message to be displayed on the screen when it hits 18 minutes, along with the applause of course.
.@WgtnPhoenixFC coach Talay unsure whether he will look to make a new signing to replace Waine. I'd suggest more of a look-in for Karunaratne might be the go.

Meanwhile, Payne and van Hattum are back for Monday's visit from Melb City; Old's return now set for Saturday in Sydney
I don't have the means to make a banner. So if anyone wants to make one saying "Ben Voyage", I would be rather chuffed to see that pun used.

Plus we’ll be able to wheel it out again when Old gets his big overseas break too
No Sam Sutton for @WgtnPhoenixFC on Monday against Melbourne City due to illness; Noah Karunaratne into the matchday squad https://t.co/r3VrzTWGdy

Missing the double header due to work. Shame as I'd liked to have had a quick word to Alex King and congratulate him on how well he conducted himself in that Melbourne derby game. I actually thought, he did really well in that game and also during the aftermath. I have a lot of respect for him.

Currently Keep Up, if not blocked in the Cooks. It’s different to MyFootball from a couple of years ago.
can we not just wear our home kit at home for once
I like the bue! should make it our hme kit.
two sets of stripes might be considered a clash?!?
City's away shirt is horrid, should have worn their light blue and we'd have stripes.

Really good positive start down that right hand flank by young Callan here. Offering some bloody good options on the overlap for us so far. Come on boys 👏
crikey, that goal got me hot and bothered.
Wow, he should do that every week!
great patient build up and what a finish bally.
that's how you beat these blokes

Oh dear. Standard issue header
great first goal for Bally
but allowing City in minutes after not great, Sail really should have done a lot better - almost looked like he was stuck in place for a second as the ball came into the box!
I know Paulsen is young anf really fresh, but I'd love to see him given a shot.

I can't help but feel Oli Sail of last season would have gotten a glove to that... Oh well that's why these guys are top of the ladder. Have to keep working and grab a bigger lead.
couple of early cards for City too,
Why is Wootton looking behind him as the cross is about to come in? He's lost track of Leckie in that split second of turning back around to face the ball.
