Rufer misses next match (5 yellows)

mjp2

Rufer's about as annoyed with this poor performance as I am.  Smashed em bro.

 Next week off too for that effort.

Come on OVH! What's gotta be like 22nd time lucky?? Surely this time it's a super sub appearance that seals the deal. 

EDIT: Different Oskar but I'll take it!

Fudge yeah, take that!!!
Zawada!!!
Sutton to Old, who finds the man just where he needs to be, nice finish!

that's how you steal a win away!

Second week in a row we concede off a ricochet....bloody unlucky. Km not happy we are giving so many silly free kicks away (and copping avoidable yellow cards for it).
Haven't read many posts today but I reckon there was a penalty there on Ball. He was being held for way too long 

ZAWADA!!!!!!!!!!

Zawada!!!!!

ZAAAWAAADAAA!!

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MAGIC!!!!

Zawada!!

LoL my stream must be a minute or so behind...Read this just as I posted and Sutton won the ball ahaha.
Great goal 

Buried it!! Great work from Old too.

DUH DUH DUH DO DUH DO DUH DO,

DUH DUH DUH DO DUH DO DUH!

He needs only one chance. That why he is a top player.

In van Hattum I believe.

 
Wrong Oskar

Ben old must have heard my criticism 

Hasn't lost his touch it seems!

Shirts off at my place!

My reverse jinx worked perfectly. 😏

Great ball from Oldie on the assist, and was that Rufer winning the ball in the build up? You bet your ass it was!

I'm glad we did not played for a draw.

I'm glad we did not played for a draw.

 I can't tell :-)

Having an out-and-out striker instead of a bunch of false nines and wingers does wonders for our game

Smart work Ben. Had an excellent half.

we're certainly better for having a bonafide striker on and another fast attacking mid.
Tend to agree with whoever said before that we've missed Pennington in central midfield this week too.

2 points clear at the top of the table, superb!

Paulsen collects the corner kick. End of the game.

YES THE BOYS!!!

Absolute grit from this team!

Phoenix of old probably lose that 2-1 after the equaliser

WE ARE CLEAR TOP OF THE LEAGUE

So we’re only allowed to score in the first 5 and last 5??

But to be fair late winners are the sign of champions…

Have we stolen it? I think the game was very even all day.
Perfect revenge for the drubbing they gave us at home.

I know there's room for improvement when it comes to his tendency to go down too easily and his decision making in the final third but full credit to Ben Old. He injected much needed intensity and pace back into our attack when we were drifting at that stage in the game. Not sure we would have gotten back up without him. The boy has such a spark!

Ten minutes on the field is all Zawada needs to show his class.

Great to be two points clear at the top but let's hope we can extend that GD in the coming run agaisnt the likes of Roar, CCM, and WU.

It was a very even game. From memory both keepers made two quality saves each. Away points are always valuable but a win is pure gold.

Zawada interview: "I am not feeling hundred percent yet".
Brisbane Roar HQ: anxiety rises significantly.

2 points clear at the top of the table, superb!

Most wins
Second best (=) GD
Third best defensive record
Have a look at the goals for 
Five teams at the moment have scored 25 goals
27 for Victory and Adelaide

Unbelievable!!! This feels fantastic to have a winning team at the top of the table and not just for one week.

I’ve never had that in my life with any team haha

Fantastic result, just what we were after.

It's honestly a credit to how good this team is that really we could be killing teams off in the first half if we made that final third pass more often. Crazy to think that the best team in the league could be even more killer! Nice to hear Zawada say it too.

Our defense is outstanding, what a brick wall.

We're gonna win the league.

Our next 6 opponents have yielded us 13 of a possible 15 points (haven't played CCM yet) so far this season. 👀

Hard to not get a little bit excited at the prospect if we manage to pick up a return like that over the next month or so.

 I don't know what to do with myself!

I want the phoenix on every single billboard in Wellington.
Let’s sell out the cake tin on Waitangi day

Rufer misses the Brisbane match if I’m not mistaken. Will be interesting to see what the midfield is with Payne still out too. Could be a chance for Conchie to shine?

Anyone got a David dome email? 
Wellington will be lit yellow
We WILL sell out sky stadium
