Battle of the spooners to get things started I think.

 

[Jobdog]

I think we'll go ok this year, provided we can stop getting injured in meaningless pre-season trials

Newcastle goes into this game as favourites

NUFC - $2.00
WPFC -$3.65
DRAW - $3.25

 

[Jobdog]

Former Sydney discard to make his debut for the Jets in midfield tomorrow. Should be interesting to see how our midfield of Triantis and Vignarolli link with the guys up front. Who knows who Branko will partner Petrovski with ...

Then again, who knows whether Petrovski will start or not :crazy:

 

[Misanthrope]

Jeez, I remember when I'd look at a Jets' lineup and fancy our chances. Hard to find much star power in our squad these days.

 

[Matt23]

Jets up 1-0 so far

 

[Misanthrope]

Nicely taken goal from Hoffman. Cheeky little chip at speed.

 

[Matt23]

Make that 2-0, Hoffman with a tap in

 

[Matt23]

Phoenix reply with 2 quick goals...dammit

 

[Misanthrope]

Jesus, Ben Kennedy has to be the worst starting goal-keeper in the A-League.

 

[Matt23]

Agreed, surprised we didn't sign a replacement for Covic, Kennedy clearly not up to it.

 

[Matt23]

Jason Naidovski puts the Jets back in front...

 

[Misanthrope]

Got the win we probably deserved. Still, if we do it that tough against Wellington - I think it's safe to say we need to make some improvements if we're wanting to compete with the better organised clubs.

 

[Dr Crane]

god, wellington are sh*t.

 

[Misanthrope]

That defensive 'line' the Phoenix employed certainly was.

 

[fish eel]

Jesus, Ben Kennedy has to be the worst starting goal-keeper in the A-League.

I thought he looked OK in the ACL?

 

[Misanthrope]

I thought he looked OK in the ACL?

I've never really rated him, but admittedly I didn't get to see a lot of the ACL games. Korean TV has the rights to all ACL games, but either broadcasts them while I'm at work or not at all.

 

[Hanscholo]

He is certainly no Covic, a good backup to the first team but you wont win titles with him. Could say that about half the squad really. Im sure Con will do something great like piss half of them off and buy a cocaine addict from south america...its how he rolls.

 

[Misanthrope]

I could count the current members of the squad I'd keep on two hands, and even then I'd be stretching it to make a full compliment of ten.
