Also Kosta 'the snake' Barbarouses returns to AAMI Park! Probably the most important match of the round is on Saturrday night when second place City take on third place Perth, can City get a crowd for that match?

We (City) owe Perf some serious payback. But sadly, I reckon we will get rolled again. Glory have had our number, especially at Seagull/AAMI Park for years. They are a very bad match up for us.

Also I expect The Smurfs to beat Victory by a minimum of 3 goals. The gulf between the two bitter rivals is as wide as it's ever been, not even the return of Kiwi Messi will do much to help The Noisy Neighbours from Docklands.

Adelaide really need to stem a spate of bad results against Westen United as well, another game that is going to be very entertaining and high scoring, I believe.

A win leapfrogs us into second so this is huge

Perth are in hot form and have a good record at AAMI that's why I picked them to win. Still can go either way, But if City perform to their best they will win

Don't be so surprised if Victory give Sydney a real hot go I don't think we will win but Victory have a nack of performing as underdogs and under adversary! you do remember the derby yeah? Also last time we played them we had half a squad out and only lost 2-1 after leading at halftime! Donachie will be a big loss down back through.

Ola does love the little snipe every now and then.

Also, what's happened to Traore, he used to be good.

 

[Aucklander]

Very, very lucky win for Wellington. Probably their worst performance of the year I think. Newcastle played very well too, to be fair.

Goalkeeper saved you.

Pun fully intended.

If their goal was twice as wide you might have been in trouble.

I don't think Victory have been this putrid since the Jim Magilton days, and I love it

How bitter/salty is this by MVFC Twitter ?

Refusing to acknowledge Barbie as goalscorer, they did that the last time they lost to Sydney I recall as well

 

[hey shorty]

It's pretty petty, I mean they aren't the only club that do it but it's a bit weak.

Kosta served them well.

 

[dwwaino]

How is it petty? It was bundled over the line, and it wasn't even clear who it came off last for a few minutes. What's petty is the obsession with us.

Kosta is a fk him! He’s Sydney scum now!

 

[Greenery]

Classic Leigh broxham very does not get enough credit for being a dirty c***

 

[Andonis1997]

Marinovic HUGE.

These are the games we'd never normally win. Good to see us win ugly (truth is I didn't see most of it though!)

 

[Colonial]

Kosta is a Winner! He’s Skyblue now!

He scored the goal. Even our stupid MC Jarrod Walsh acknowledges the oppo goalscorer.
