Not only is sixth up for grabs but maybe even fifth with the way the Nix are travelling. All matches this week are important for the race to the finals. The stand out matches are: on Friday night we have Newcastle V Macarthur FC which is important for the make up of the top six as well as the race to the wooden spoon. On Saturday we have a top four clash between Central Coast V Melbourne City, Sunday we have the two important matches that may determine the top Six. Wellington V Brisbane Roar and Sydney FC V Perth Glory can the Glory finally replace Sydney in the top Six? all to be played out.

Yeah look, one win will just steady the ship for us and we will lock up that 5th spot.

...But am I ever confident? No.

 

[AJ_2000]

City can clinch the Premiers plate with a win over CCM or an Adelaide loss.

 

[gaskin]

Please let us beat the ******* smurfs for once.

 

[giggler99]

If you look at all the matches their is something that has a bearing on any ladder postion.

Probably the most important round of the season.

 

[AJ_2000]

4 messily points seperate 6th from 12th. A win for any of those teams will thrust them right in the finals mix.

 

[gaskin]

If we beat Sydney we will be in the 6. Who would have thought that a couple of months ago?

 

[giggler99]

Just a reminder City will clinch the Premiers Plate with a win this weekend and has already secured an ACL spot for the next edition. The second AFC Cup spot is still in play with Adelaide in prime position to secure it.

The Equation: City look to wrap up two pieces of silverware this weekend - Here's how

Well thankfully he's coaching out the end of the season.
He's done a great job I think, Wellington have been consistently strong under him which is not something you can usually say about the Nix.
Sydney FC must be possibilities?

All we have to do is treat Allianz like its Maco stadium and we wont lose

He has said he very much prefers to look overseas, like a Europe or Asia. He's been great for the club and has made them start to be taken seriously.

If he goes anywhere in Australia I will scream.

Yeah nobody gives two sh!t about AFC Champions League either. Just look at the crowds it gets.

P.S my post was to stir up Elmer_Judd just letting him know not to get to cocky.

City will have to wait a little longer maybe just 24hrs to secure the Plate.
