I have tickets for the game on Friday so will be heading up, I think CCM are going to retain the hub cap. We have too many injuries / suspensions and Newcastle will really be going for it, and Heart will just roll over for CCM as Brisbane and Adelaide did.

The only good thing about Newcastle winning is that it might keep East Sydney out of the finals. Unless Brisbane **** up again

CCM to retain the hub and out in the semi's looks increasingly likely. Just bad news coming out of WSW at the moment.

Can't complain too much, has been an amazing season, just a shame it is all going wrong right at the business end.

Beauchamp will be back, hopefully Mooy too. I still think a draw in that game is the most likely and the dish will be yours. I'm banking on your boys beating the Jets to help us out. If you beat or draw v them we only have to draw v Sudney to go through

We are running on empty at the moment, East Sydney should really have won the other night. I hope we can get up one last time, but I wouldn't count on us doing you a favour.

It'll be dead wrong if MV end up being known as champions this season. It's probably going to happen though

The Youth Team put up a credible yet boring performance against Perth.

Everyone will be fit for the finals... might even see Finkler in two weeks.

No, I think it is great / quaint that a club like MV can still have a shout That is what the finals are all about I guess, give those from a lesser background a second shot at glory.

Stop being so negative Jon. At the end of the day ESFC couldn't beat us despite our injuries. There goal was through an error. In fact we could have played for another 90 minutes and they wouldn't have scored another. We'll get the point we need in Newcastle, a well earned 2 weeks break, then knock out ESFC once and for all in the semi final. In the meantime Del Piero will get injured in the quarter final and cry like a baby.

hope your right.

Im right. Weve come to far for the players to let themselves down.

On a massive positive I found out yesterday that once more we have 2 and a half champions league places, though im not sure how they are being distributed yet.

ozzieeagle

You sure it's not still 1 and a half ?

Whoops I called that wrong.... Just checked this happened yesterday by the looks of things.


1. First spot goes to the premiers.

2. Second spot goes to the champions (i.e. our "cup" winner).
2(a). If the champions are the premiers, and have hence already qualified, the second spot goes to No.2 on the premiership ladder.

3. Third spot goes to No.2 on the premiership ladder.
3(a). If No.2 on the ladder are the champions, and have hence already qualified, the third sport goes to No.3 on the ladder.

Media relase just out ( not that it will satisfy Channel 9 or 7 or 2GB which are currently running a football hooligan hotline)

The Red and Black Bloc wishes to distance themselves from the incidents that occurred during the pre-game march through Church St Parramatta.

A video has emerged on 2GB's website of an incident that took place last weekend and The Red and Black Bloc wishes to deny it's involvement in the incident that took place, and condemn those who were involved. These individuals do not represent the Red and Black Bloc, our views, our support nor our sport. These are not regulars of the support base.

It has become apparent that a minority of fans partaking in the march for the Sydney derby last Saturday night were more intent on participating in anti-social behaviour to families dining pre-game, rather than passionately supporting their team, which the march represents. The Red and Black Bloc does not promote anti-social behaviour and actively attempts to eliminate it from our fanbase. Anti-Social, rude, violent and illegal behaviour is not tolerated at any time in the Red and Black Bloc fanbase, march, functions or matchday.

The Red and Black Bloc’s matchday march is a tradition down to the stadium, and that all of the club’s fanbase are invited to join in. The march has had involvement from children, the passionate fans, and even older members of the community. The surrounding businesses have all enjoyed our march and it is a facet of the matchday atmosphere.

The Red and Black Bloc wishes to apologise to the Sydney FC fans tormented by the minority who joined in on the march at the Sydney Derby, and wishes to express our deepest sorrow for the anti-social behaviour they were a victim of.

The Red and Black Bloc is a strong believer in self-policing of the support group and is actively working toward creating a fun, passionate environment for the Wanderers supporters to experience. The Red and Black Bloc were able to work successfully with security in removing several supporters involved in anti-social behaviour at the match.

The Red and Black Bloc are actively attempting to identify the individuals involved in the pre-game march incident, as well as investigate further incidents relating to the FFA’s hired security company, Hatamoto, and a separate incident involving an unprovoked attack from one of the stadium’s security staff.

The Red and Black Bloc are very happy to announce that the members of the community who benefitted from tickets donated by the Red and Black Bloc community enjoyed the match between Western Sydney Wanderers and Wellington Phoenix, and hope that these fans will become Wanderers for life.

Sounds ok. That means 3 teams will be poor in the last few weeks of the season now and not just the one.

ozzieeagle

Good point.... although I'd rather say, Aus teams have to try to move up to J league level.

A big call and at least 10 years away.

martin1978

I remember when gary linekar went to play for grampus 8 and they put a few games on the box. The j league was so crap back then.
