Sydney 1-0

 

[Dr Crane]

I cannot get over how bad Wellington are this year. I might forego the trip to Wellington this year, which is a shame because I f**king love that city.

Sydney 3-0.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

wellington are soooo sh*t and should be kicked out ...

in saying that and voting for sydney wellington will probably win 2-0 ...

 

[Misanthrope]

The Phoenix to go up early through Shane Smeltz, and then crash down to a 4-1 loss. Sydney goals from Aloisi, McFlynn, Brosque, and Cole.

wow Sydney were woeful....

 

[fish eel]

wow Sydney were woeful....

they were fantastic for the first half hour.

Bit unlucky though not to have a couple of penalties given.

 

[Dragon]

I just hated the way they bombed it long all throughout the second half, and had just about every pass through midfield intercepted.... so frustrating to watch. They really lack some composure when the going gets tough.

 

[Dr Crane]

Awesome.

 

[Misanthrope]

Surprised by that result. Thank God for Melbourne dragging the crowd averages up this round :lol:

 

[Blaze]

Come down Dr Crane. Wellington aren't that bad.. they have just got off to a bit of a horror start. Vince Lia for the season through injury was a bad loss, but hopefully this result helps the confidence levels and we start reaching our potential.

A couple of wins on the trot and things suddenly look a lot brighter.

Thank you Queensland.

Sydney lose and move to the top of the table!

I like being a pessimist. I'm more pleasantly surprised that way.
