That's gotta be extra motivation to get 3 points! Finishing top of the ladder, here we go!

We'll find out after this game whether this side is different to previous years, and take this prime opportunity to be #1.

Predicting a 3-0 win. Pennington to score a hat-trick and KungFu Panda to reach a euphoric plane of existence beyond our imagination as a result.

I was thinking during the first half that the Roar's defensive organisation was as good as ours. But we hold it together for 90+ minutes. They couldn't keep it together beyond half time.
They are an entertaining watch. Made enough chances to win that game comfortably. Ross Aloisi is doing a very good job so far I think.

yep, chance of going top of the league, playing against the last place team.
That's normally a game we'd butcher, only saving grace is it's away, if it was home with a big crowd we'd blow it for sure

When was the last time we've been first? Don't think we ever managed that with Uffie given our bad starts

End of Round 1 in 2018/19 under Rudan we were first. 

Prior to that you have to go back to Rounds 21-23 in 2014/15, and end of Round 1 2012/13.

It's an absolute embarrassment that united are part of the league.  Offer absolute sweet fudge all.

Shaky start. Unable to beat the press and then giving up silly fouls.

Kosta giving the defence kittens by the way he tackles in from behind.

Slightly off topic but that 15k stadium surely isn't happening is it. In all honesty a nice 5k stadium would be pretty cool though and more than enough for a while

I'd forgotten Penha did his ACL not that long ago. Probably explains why he is struggling to find his Jets form of old.

Pennington has to watch himself here. Late call, but a historically terrible ref.

Wales or Penha will explode soone enough. Their midfield and defence are thugs. 
Only need to win by 1.

He gives me the heebee jeebies when he tries to swivel out of tackles like that in our defensive third. I thought the red card was coming out for a second.

Compare the two yellows. One a deliberate stamp after the ball had gone. The other  Pennington wins the ball and Lustica falls over. 

What’s with all the hate for Pennington? It’s like you’re happy he’s been carded.

 it's not Pennington I dislike, it's a certain member's undying love of him that does my head in. I think he does a job, is he a risk of a yellow every game? sure, does he disrupt attacks absolutely. He makes me nervous when he has the ball, like all aleague players he's not perfect and by no means is he the sole reason we win.

Our midfield is utterly clueless and without any intend, so disappointing against the bottom placed side I expect more
