@Kaiapoi That’s all fine. It’s some weird creed popping up all over the place. This isn’t about the result. This is about supporting our players. Plenty more stops for me before this Phoenix fan express gets mothballed.

Be consistent. When the VAR overturns a pen, if you’re near the zone yell: ‘screw you you’re a diving cheat!’

Make sure Armiento, Nagasawa or Eze can really hear you…really thank them for coming to Wellington despite what their agent said.

Strange way to be a fan of a team. Sure, I’d be relieved and bemused if it wasn’t given against us. Maybe even boo the guy who the ref said made up a challenge. If it was an opponent.

Oh and make sure you give the players that world-weary speech about blaming the ref or whatever. And the VAR has been clearly wrong a minimum of twice this season with us, as well as missing a stamp on Cosgrove and something similar by Cosgrove, while the refs are worrying about 3-4 metres up the sideline. Much like the Snedden catch, disallowed because the umpires weren’t watching while they looked for a short run. Listen to Shane Warne badgering the umpires, sandpaper down the jocks etc etc. It’s not blame to say we can help improve our outcomes here, as they are poor for whatever reason.

I dunno how much the team has been thanking the fans who’ve been coming, signing things, posing for photos and that. I hope it’s a lot. I hope every single fan that wants a photo has one. And on the flip side I hope they’ve felt the support through a lame time in our club’s history. 

Enough of this second hand Sydney Auckland mongrel creed claptrap. Wellington tough is Hughes, is Siggie, is Jon McKain, is Rufer, is Payney, is Durante, is Emmanuel Moosecat, is the British strike partnership and the Fijian flyer, the Waine Train and Finn Surman, it’s a roar from Steven Taylor, it’s a spider legged cover tackle from James or Kelly-Heald, it’s Piper winning a header, it’s lucky headbandage, it’s the wind, the rain and the Fever! And many, many besides…

We want the fortress back and, yes some damn silverware. Daniel revving up the crowd in the 87th minute. 

Pride in the badge, leadership on and off the park.
