ROFL @ Jets if they lose... Champions to spooners in the space of 9 months :crazy:

 

[Misanthrope]

Wellington will win this one. Between Smeltz being in hot form and Fred debuting, it's all them.

Wellington 3-2

There's always Perth

Wellington at home, 2-1

Who are playing Queensland... in Brisbane...? Guaranteed one, if not three points.

 

[Jobdog]

I'd be extremely surprised if we lost this game.

Last I checked, they hand out the wooden spoon at season's end. Not on a round to round basis...

 

[Timmah]

No, but being at the bottom halfway through the comp doesn't bode well

 

[Dr Crane]

Just ask the Cowb....oh.

 

[Nevan_]

I think it will be a 1 - 1 draw. If Fred wasn't playing, i would say Newcastle 2 - 1. But Fred is the X - Factor IMO.

 

[Matt23]

Nice one Griffith, you f*ckwit :x

 

[Jobdog]

Sums up our season really. We've consistently done stupid things all throughout the year and today Griffo lashes out like the petulent turd he used to be. Several moments of madness are going to cost us a place in the semis, and this just tops it off.

 

[Matt23]

Grrrr even more stupidity :x

 

[Misanthrope]

Milligan gone too. If Wellington don't put 2+ past us, they need to take a good, hard look at themselves.

 

[fish eel]

so far wellington arent really threatening to score.....

 

[Dr Crane]

Took them 80 minutes, but they've scored two cracking goals.

 

[Nevan_]

It really took Wellington a while to put NUJ away.

 

[Nevan_]

I hope Wellington makes the most of it, i don't think they will stay in the A-League much longer.

19 odd posts of pure drivel. May I suggest you bugger off?

It's true.

They might have to f**k off and start a professional league in NZ.
