2021/22 season

. nothing to do with the league

. the 'magic of the cup' fits the narrative better ... and our perspective - small club, regional, blah, blah, blah

Better for the Aleague is what I meant

Wellington will beat Victory anyway - so that is a non argument.

But FA has little to do with the league. They do however reap the proceeds of ticket sales which is why I suggested that would be their angle.

Saw a write up yesterday saying we were making a case for hosting - but then said if we qualified!!!

Has there been a date announced yet for the MV vs Phoenix game?

Next Saturday - 29th

How's our luck with our draw. Two home games from the last ten. And we'll have one from the next four.

Hard on the team and us. But we're in a final and sitting sixth. So hey.

But hopefully we can make CC stadium a fortress and have a very strong second half of the season and if Nix can beat Victory, get ourselves a home final and an ACL spot to boot. How good would that be.

In light of everything going on right now I think it’s a bit of a blessing. Harder on the team but it means when we do get back home there’s more chance we’ll be past the worst of this outbreak.

This kind of annoys me. We had 5 out and could have postponed but instead played youth and got on with it.

I'm happy because I got to see the boys live at home but if other teams are going to just fold and postpone instead of fielding youth, maybe we should have. We probably would have gotten a better result against City if we waited and fielded our strongest starting 11 including Cumdog?

I trust Monty's judgement and reasoning behind the decision but I hope this doesn't come back to bite us in the arse later down the track when the season is shortened and points can mean top 6 or not...

Apparently we couldn't. Only 3 were part of our previous game starting XI which seems to be the rule.

If we make the ACL qualifiers, and more so if we make the group, our calendar will be congested as is. I suspect they valued the minutes in legs and 1 less in the backlog more than our absolute best shot at 3 points.

Thanks, mate, I wasn't aware of that.

Yeah, good point.

Dunno why but this one feels special. Guy was an overhyped goose, spouted platitudes like those without understanding do, lived off his name and nothing else.

7games. I predicted 6.

I worry that the next guy will do well with that squad.

Heard today that Miller is going to Macarthur. Anyone else hear this?

He'd better f'ing not be going there! Overseas or nothing. Ideally after a couple more stellar years with us

I heard a rumour he was going in this window overseas but I couldn’t verify the source. Macarthur would be very disappointing.
