Mariners V Nix rd 10 in Auckland

[midfielder]

As the meds kick in, the joint takes hold and the JD bottle is almost drained ...

Mariners 3 - Nix 0...

You heard it here first ...

 

[eenfish]

The Nix are playing very well. I am not optimistic at our chances to get a win. The best i can see is a 0-0

 

[MagpieMariner]

We've had only 2 clean sheets so far, against the 2 bottom teams. Can't see us getting another over there.
We've conceded 5 clean sheets to the opponents so far, hate to say it but I can see another looming.

 

[shipwreck]

Boooooooo we suck

 

[nearlyyellow]

Boooooooo we suck

Now now, that's enough of that negativity We *could* go over there and dominate. We may not hit the net *but* we could get a draw.

 

[dibo]

As I was saying to some tweeps the other day, one of the great things about pulling off surprises is that they generally come as quite a surprise.

 

[VicMariner]

Nux can be up and down. I can see us getting something from this game.

 

[MagpieMariner]

We had about a two year period where we not only failed to take a point from them, but also failed to score against them. I really hope we're not heading into another period like that.

 

[true believer]

come on you yellows

 

[nebakke]

This is, I can feel it in my bones, the first major disappointment of the season was doled itout by these guys, this is the game that turns it back around... Duke to suddenly remember how to hit the target, Fitsy to fire and Matty to punish Judas thoroughly! ;-)

0-3 you heard it here first!... Or rather, up a little higher in this thread, but close enough ;-)

 

[Wombat]

We can't suck balls all season.......maybe we can turn it around with Matty to prove the difference......1.0

 

[localpom]

We need a game to get our season back on track and to be honest we are looking far more likely to do it away than at home. Here's hoping....i'm quietly confident of a surprise here.

 

[scottmac]

I can really see us getting hammered. Wellington have been good. Burns has been quite good.

Something to nil.
