:lol: Apparently the Victory want to "let Thompson loose" tonight.

By loose do they mean allowing a double-half-pike twist on the way down?

 

[griffo346]

i hope this is a draw TBH

 

[Non Terminator]

Draw/win would be lovely. This one's gonna be a killer though...

 

[Twizzle]

tough game for the Mariners methinks

 

[Dutchy]

I will be thar

 

[chiana]

Mariners need something from the game. Wellington are too close to 4th for comfort.

 

[Twizzle]

I will be thar

at the Telstra Dome ??

 

[Dutchy]

nah at the pub watching it lol.

 

[fish eel]

As I said last week when the coasties got rolled, the top 3 sides are a cut above.

whomever finishes 4th, phoenix, ccm or sydney are just making up numbers

that would just be unfair if a team playing so sh*t like sydney are makes the finals.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

speaking of sh*t ... having fun with your spoon?

 

[Dutchy]

Hoping for a Syd Win and Wello Loss

LOL.

Hoping for a Sydney win?

You know if they win, they can leap frog CCM when you are beaten again next week?

 

[CC_Eagle]

FFS.

Dominate the midfield and lose 3-0?

It's no coincidence that we've conceded 7 goals in two games without Jedinak.

 

[griffo346]

if sydney win tonight ccm are still ahead on goal difference

ffs i wanted a draw not a win now melb go lead with a point

 

[Timmah]

Facts are facts - Lawrie should've subbed Sasho on much earlier. I think he should be starting. This Mrdja experiment has been done at the complete wrong time.

Depending on our lineup next week I think we might beat Adelaide. Beat them 3-0 a month or two back after they'd played lots of matches in a row... no reason we can't again

 

[griffo346]

Tim didnt we adelaide also lead 3-0 only to get away with a draw lol

 

[Timmah]

Tim didnt we adelaide also lead 3-0 only to get away with a draw lol

yup... your record with us this year isn't crash hot

 

[Dutchy]

Need Jedi
