My Tips Victory, Sydney, Newcastle, Perth, Draw between Wanderers and City

 

[hey shorty]

If the Nix were ever going to win in Melbourne itll be tonight......but I doubt it.

Brisbane finally have a guy who can coach rather than a muppet, probably still wont be enough.

Newcastle starting to slowly get it together, we aren't really at the races so theyll get it done.

Perth to bounce back and flog the Mariners even without Ikonomidis.

City and Wanderers will be intriguing if a bit boring, I too predict a draw.

 

[Andonis1997]

Already looks like boys against men, but we'll keep fighting on.

 

[apollo_creed]

Wellington better side but officiating not their friend so far.

How hard can it be to wear a club polo when it’s hot? Rudan looks like a w***er bro at any Melbourne Sunday sesh.

We need a goal from all these chances.

When that annoys you, we know we have you rattled
He wears club suits at Westpac, so it's a bit of a change!

It’s like he saw Babbel’s shirt in Adelaide and is trying to out-douchbag him.

[Andonis1997]

Very happy with that half. Started as I expected, but soon after we were very much on top. More of that please, but I'll be happy with a draw!!

Speaking of douchebag attire, the * is Zappas wearing tonight?

It’s like holiday season hit and every one in the A-League is going to the same w***er party where everyone is injecting melanin and drinking rose.

DAVID WILLIAMSSS!!! COYN!

 

[Magma]

christ you surely cant be fooled by that cut back. class finish though

 

[Andonis1997]

Aaaand we resume normal programming.

 

[apollo_creed]

Absolutely laughable from Elder. Gives the advantage to a dive from Toivonen they take advantage and have a shot from outside the box which is blocked then he calls it back. He’s such a s**t referee.

 

[apollo_creed]

Weather doesnt help Wellington. No way theyre conditioned for this. Starting to show.

We went to a Gold Coast camp in the pre-season, they should be.

Fair enough but thats a fairly limited timeframe and a while back so they’re still behind in that respect. Most aleague clubs would train in these conditions on a weekly basis.

 

[Andonis1997]

I'll take the point, but I'm disappointed we slipped up for that equaliser.

True. They were all double sessions full of sprints while we were there so we should be fit enough haha but you're right, 30° and above is never a temperature you see in NZ.

That was a very tough match, we where lucky to get something out of it I thought. The Nix are good value.

What is wrong with Nathan Burns? guy can't even run anymore. couldn't even out sprint a tired Broxy with fresh legs.

 

[nobbyiscool]

I said in the Victory thread that it was a strange game - the nux were absolutely good for the point, but after they scored we more or less dominated. On the balance of the first hour or so we stole a point, but on the last half an hour we could've scored 3.

It's a shame that you watch so many A-League games ruing what a detriment to the league our standard of refereeing is. When both teams have probably left a match feeling like they were hard done by it's a poor refereeing effort.

Thanks mate, you guys are still such a tough and frankly terrifying opponent to face.
Burnsy definitely looked so sluggish for a new sub.. Just so devoid of confidence, hasn't scored a goal since August 2016, was it?
I think Williams has cemented his spot in the starting line-up with his energy.

I'd say that's a fair assessment, especially as we looked to tire a bit

We need that Japanese exchange like we did a few years ago. No bias, no errors. Great referreeing.

hahaha how were Victory hard done by? He gave you everything all night.

 

[Aucklander]

Very enjoyable night. Game could've gone either way, but a draw was a fair result. Was that a record Melbourne v Wellington crowd? 20,066 I think they said.

Burns' surely done and the money would be better spent elsewhere. Thought Williams was fantastic while plenty worked hard all night. Bit annoyed with Sing as I thought he went down far too easy when Wellington were pressing forward only to turn it over and conceded a goal almost instantly.

Melbourne will be disappointed, while Wellington should be more than happy with a point at the start of a difficult 3 away games stretch.

You must've missed Toivenen being repeatedly pushed and hacked.

DAVID WILLIAMSSS!!! COYN!

Have always been a massive fan of Williams. Should have had a better career.

 

[hey shorty]

That's unusual, its normally he who's doing it.
