Official Adelaide United 2009-2010 campaign thread

[brucetiki]

Was a traditional scoreline - Adelaide through to knockout stage

 

[smoovy]

Ross Aloisi talks a lot of shit at the best of times.

Crucial point and that match was actually far more exciting than Adelaide vs Melbourne on Sunday.

Or even Port v North

I am pumped for next week.

Looking forward to a sell out crowd and a steak burger.

Fox Sports commentators reckon Melbourne could still make the knockout stages

well look at it
Seognam 12 +7
Beijing 6 0
Kawasaki 3 -1
Melbourne 3 -6

this week
Melbourne vs Beijing, Melbourne with the homefield advantage, fresh legs and the desire to push through, so I'll tip a 3-1 victory
Seognam vs Kawasaki, Seognam is the better team, at home and can ensure 1st in the pool. So i'll tip Seognam in a 2-0 win

this will leave it at
Seognam 15 +9
Beijing 6 -2
Melbourne 6 -4
Kawasaki 3 -3

in the final match day
Melbourne travel to Seognam. What do Seognam have to fight for now?
they have 1st wrapped up. So I expect they'll play the #2 team to avoid any potential bans from 2 yellow cards in the knockout stage while Melbourne will come out to get through. Melbourne to win 3-0
Beijing vs Kawasaki. This game starts half an hour before the other game so Kawasaki will come out all guns firing hoping Melbourne lose. Beijing will fight it out to the end like Kawasaki, but I feel this will end in a 2-2 draw

final
Seognam 15 +6
Melbourne 9 -1
Beijing 7 -2
Kawasaki 4 -3

Melbourne to win 3-0 over there? I'd be amazed if your predictions came close mate.

 

[RoosterLad]

Melbourne out and they lost 2-3 away to Seongnam, not far off with your 3-0 prediction there...

i'm thinking of going to the next united game, do people thinks its worth it?

(don't lay into me too much, I'm not what you'd call a true soccer fan..so i'm looking for a good game to have a few beers at)

definently
I'd give us a 60% chance of victory

and RL, my prediction from this weeks games were taking match day 5 into account, once Melbourne ****ed up vs Beijing, they weren't going to beat Seognam. But if they needed to win to make it then I would of backed my prediction

 

[RoosterLad]

There is no way they would have won 3-0 mate. Seongnam were a class above, less possession in the first half yet 10 shots to 0 says a lot.

fair enough
i dont follow other asian leagues, but I thought Melbourne was equal to them, and take away the motivation factor, I thought there was a chance

but I have NFI about soccer beyond A-League, EPL, and FC United of Manchester (yes, that's who I support the most beyond Adelaide United)

I'm probably going. These Asian knockout games are a good way to start attending a few if you're not really up for going to the A League every second week across summer.

Once I'm earning enough, I'll likely become a Reds member - it's a little hard to add that on top of my annual fees for the AFC and SACA at the present.

 

[smoovy]

Hindmarsh will be pumping for this one. Might get there early and secure a good position in the snakepit.

$5 Cider
$5 Cheapy Beers
$6 Good Beers
$6.50 Premix cans incl. Johnnie Walker

Any game at Hindmarsh is good to have a few drinks at.

 

[Riggy1]

any report on how their skin folds went yesterday?
would like to know how the team is going
anyone get down to Hindmarsh today to report on training?

 

[Seanason]

Was considering going but meh.

No-one else i know went, but new mail is that local Adelaide boy Rocky Visconte has signed for Brisbane after playing ressies for Hearts in Scotland for a few years now.

 

[andrew23]

Can't wait, the game is next Wednesday, Hindmarsh should be rocking

 

[Riggy1]

argh, Im working wednesday night
if I win the double pass on the shootout competition then I may have to sell them/give them away

 

[brucetiki]

2-2 at end of regulation (Adelaide's 2nd goal scored in 95th minute).

 

[Cap]

well i couldn't go this week due to other commitments...

so is there another game?

 

[brucetiki]

Nope that's it - we lost 2-3 in ET

Back to languishing the cellar of the A-League for now

 

[Cap]

yeah just saw that

bugger

 

[smoovy]

What an amazing night. Shame it all has come to an end.

Hindmarsh craps all over AAMI for atmosphere

Viddy gone. Thanks for the memories and good luck !

 

[RoosterLad]

Say NO to Dave Mitchell.

 

[Riggy1]

does this mean we may attack now?

 

[Cap]

SO is anyone planning on going to the first home game of the season?

with the new tram in place i reckon i'm going to head down after work (few beers at one of the pubs and then off we go)
