1-0 to the Nix today, to set up a great derby and top of the table shoot out next week!!

One! I'm hoping for 5. This is the Barca of Oceania we're talking about.

I'm very very nervous about this game.  

Come on Phoenix!!

dude, save your nerves for an important game. Or to quote Billy Corgan, save your prayers for when we're really gonna need em

Firing up, Matchday is here!

🔥🔥COYN🔥🔥

I don't underestimate CCM.  If we do, we will pay the price.

It isnt about over or underestimating CCM, it is just not all that important in the context of the season. Nobody is running away with the league yet, teams are still taking shape. We won this exact fixture 3-0 at the exact same point of the season last season, and what did that do for us, how'd the season turn out? Just try to enjoy watching the Nix and get nervous for next week instead

Also making the derby a top-of-the-table clash could get those extra few casuals turning up who we need to drown out the Port.

Ok everyone, we should all be incredibly nervous about every single game, I get it

Way, way ahead of you buddy. 
And 

Game’s the game.

Fire up!
Hope we see more than 30 minutes attacking football, winning late is nice, but some shots on goal before the 60 min mark would be nicer.

If we beat CCM we will briefly overtake A-FC on the table.

First of all, we have been ahead of AFC for the entirety of this season, mid round table doesn't count. And secondly what do you mean briefly, are you expecting AFC to win next week?

2-1 Nix. Eze fouled in the box late, steps up with a clutch finish 👍🏼

I am not making predictions for next week. First I would like us to win tonight against CCM.
On current form, I do not think they will finish first, and I do not think we will finish second last, like last season, but they can get their collective ass in gear and end up challenging for top two.
We may be more effective this season, more than we were the last season, so on a good day we may be able at a pinch push for top four if we do not have many injuries.

No James today?

Hope Hughes has 90 in him. No James so he's the elder statesman at the back!

Must be a knock of some sort

Pounds and Piper on the bench again. I do like having impact off the bench but I don't ljke having to rely on it. Hopefully we can play some worthwhile footy right from the get go. Fire up Nix

Like the idea of us winning and then subs to close it out! Late shows are fun, but not great for the ticker…

Quad strain according to Rollo. 😮‍💨

James out...not another injury. Half the starting team are the kiwi youngsters. Not a big fan of both the Japanese starting. I hope we win but i am not confident at all. With so many injuries a draw would be ok

This is going to be very tough with this line-up

Two midget CBs 
No Payne 

James injury is very bad sign, if it's serious the the season is stuttering 

A strange combination of home and away colours watching this game. 

Good goal!!

A strange combination of colours watching this game. 

 indeed, why arent we wearing our white strip to avoid the clash?

GET THE FUCK IN THERE!!!!!

That's how you score an early goal Mariners!

2 Eze

Conchie should’ve done better there but luckily it worked out for a chance Eze couldn’t miss! 

What a start wtf

Loke 1st chest touch was excellent!

Missed it due to thailand tummy. Maybe I skip the whole thing for luck

Guess whatever that was in front of the wall almost worked!

That fk from Ishige is why Armiento shouldnt have stolen one from him last week. Only Hideki from now please

Wow. I left the screen with them scoring and come back to us being 1 up. COYN!!

How Steele hasn't had a yellow there...

Loke has a lovely touch

Fudge those A-League Referees

Nice cut back from Loke for the goal. 
Isighi hits the post!!!!!
Now hes hammered in a dirty tackle, should be a card
