James Troisi out for the Victory, is that a good or bad thing?

Bad thing for you guys. Means Jai Ingham could start.

Jai Ingham! Jai Ingham! Jai Ingham! Running down the wing, Ingham la-la-la la-ahh, The Chicken king!

Bad thing for you guys. Means Jai Ingham could start.

He's not, is he? Is Kamsoba his replacement?

 

[Andonis1997]

HE WON THE BALL, piss off.

(Piss..off is a swear now?)
EDIT: * off

KRISHNAAAAA COME ON

 

[giggler99]

Ola!!!

Chipping the keeper on that angle! ******* ACE!

 

[ioppolo]

Sydney vs Victory is gonna be one hell of a semi final

Corica and SydneyFC might be shitting bricks. No doubt the mental scares from last years match would be running through their heads and they wouldn't want a repeat would they?

This is gonna be fun next week! We will be primed for this match. Can't wait!

Just on that goal..

I could never imagine an Aussie striker chipping the keeper like that on such an angle. Pure instinct and football smarts. And that first touch just mint!

That was a world class goal if ever I saw one.

Most A-league strikers would have shot at the keeper, try to pick out a team mate (even if there wasn’t one to pass to) or turn to open the angle and gets his shot blocked by the in coming defender.

Just shows the difference in class and development where everything Toivonen has learnt and experienced is pure instinct.

I envy for the day our youth development can produce a Toivonen.

 

[Aucklander]

I was a goal out with my prediction. I just thought the negativity was always going to play a part and so it was proven. Still a good season, but it went downhill when it became obvious Rudan was leaving.

I think you guys will win easy, have been in good form lately too. Yeah s**t time for a football match don't know why the FFA persits with 7pm Sunday timeslot worst time of the week. What's the crowd estimate gonna be though? Hopefully a big crowd still to get you guys over the line.

Probably why we rested players against Perth once we found out City won 5-0.

 

[ioppolo]

I think I'd rather play Adelaide than City. Go United!

 

[nobbyiscool]

I'm enjoying hearing Joyce in the fx mic pulling his best Rodney Eade

 

[nobbyiscool]

On the game itself, * me it's stunk. I really don't need another 30 minutes of this.

City are just so boring to watch. They turn every match into a snorefest.

 

[SM]

Shame, City used to be a joy to watch when Mooy and Fornaroli were at full flight.

 

[SunGirl89]

It's almost Monday and the winner of this has to play in Perth on Friday, that is in less than 4 days and 23 hours time. Ridiculous.
