A-League round 12 xmas edition

[TheKanga]

This round is a little spaced out due to festivities.





Tips:

Brisbane Roar vs. Wanderers - 2-1 (14k)

Brisbane seem to be travelling along nicely, now in 3rd spot.
They are hard to beat at Suncorp while WSW have been inconsistent all season.

Newcastle vs. Wellington - 1-2 (6k)

Two sides that have struggled for along time both coming off some good form recently.
Despite being an away game i'll give Phoenix the nod due to a few more classier players.

Adelaide Utd vs. Sydney FC - 0-1 (9K)

Season has gone horribly wrong for the reigning champs.
While Sydney are flying and shouldn't hold to many fears here with the reds.
I think it will be a tight and defensive game with Sydney sneaking a solitary winner.

Melbourne City vs. Perth Glory - 1-1 (8k)

Both teams coming off disappointing losses.
Perth gave us problems last time out and know our weaknesses.
I expect both teams to show a good account of themselves but neither to break the deadlock.

Melbourne Victory vs. CCM - 3-2 (20k)

I think CCM showed some good signs this week and will look to get on the front foot.
Victory to be a bit to good in the end though as is often the case with CCM.

 

[Greasyrhys]

We'll get smashed without doubt

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Smeltz back at the Phoenix just quietly.

Also I'm sure we'll lose.

 

[darko]

Roar average 16.5k this season. I think they'll get around that against WSW.

 

[TheKanga]

I want to see an agressive response against Perth.
If we keep dropping points this season will soon become same old same old.

I did tip the draw but i hope i'm wrong

 

[hey shorty]

Going to be a hot one come Boxing Day, don't expect a big crowd nor do I expect a win. Think we can sneak a draw but anything else would be a major shock.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Our best performance of the season was away to City. Needed the keeper to make two howlers to help us but something like that would be nice again.

 

[hey shorty]

BOM revising the Monday forecast in Adelaide to a much more comfortable 29 degrees. Could attract more punters through the gates.

I've seen cow paddocks in better nick than this field. What an embarrassment to the league and to the stadium. I can barely believe that they're even playing on it.

Stadiums are yet another facet to the league that casts a shadow over its level of professionalism.

 

[Greasyrhys]

JUSTICE.

 

[Punt Road Feral]

That's the Wanderers 7th draw out of 12 games.
Would be frustrating as hell as a fan to see them constantly draw

Better than constantly losing

That stadiums pitch really needs to be looked at. Hasn't been great since the floods of 2011 got it. Honestly I've seen local parks in better nick, borderline OHS risk there tonight.

"Four-day long weekend. Let's put the Victory game at night on the following workday."

Why isn't there a game today?!

 

[The City Boyz]

Btw, Merry Xmas to all!

 

[Dadadadaaaaaa]

Hi to all. The City Boyz recommended this page to me as it is a great place to talk soccer, which I am a big fan of the Melbourne Victory. I look forward to chatting with you guys.
Merry Christmas.

So it's gone from 40 degrees tomorrow to 29 with rainfall of upto 40mm possible.

Can't see a massive crowd or a great spectacle.

Could be some goals though.
Rain = defender mistakes

 

[Dadadadaaaaaa]

Wellington have been better the last few weeks but I would expect Newcastle to get up as they have gained confidence over the last few weeks. Confidence can do a lot for struggling teams.
Could go ethier way though

 

[Andonis1997]

Newcastle 4-0.

 

[Andonis1997]

Happy with that half. Can't believe we could be 5th if we win..

 

[tigs2010]

This has been an enjoyable game.

 

[hey shorty]

Very humid down here at Hindmarsh, same starting 11 so we must be flying up the top of the table.

Oh wait......

Marc Marino still not in the squad, what more does he have to do ?? Or how much less does Sergi have to do ??

 

[Andonis1997]

Not happy with the draw, but it'll do considering we give them cheap 3 points every year.

Change his surname to Guardiola.
