R18 v Adelaide

[Wombat]

Latte sipping plastic franchise is their other name.

Want them to go on a run and miss the finals on goal difference just to see Harper and the rest of the Sydney FC network (sorry, Fox) crying in despair.

Love the passion

My preferences - 1. Wooden Spoon. 2. This ^^^

. it's a bit like all the bullshit rhetoric about needing sydney to do well for the a-league to be successful

. i believe the league is better served by a successful western sydney and the self proclaimed 'big club' having their arse handed to them every season

My team for tonight would start with:

--------- -------------Matty-------------

---Pedj-----------Zac-----------Dutchie----Rose

--------------Mont------------Olly-----------

--Birnie------------McGlinchey----------Duke

---------------------Macca----------------------


Bench: Pasfield, Caceres, Hutch, Kwas, Fitzgerald.

 

[Atomic]

Umm... you forgot (or dropped) Sainsbury.

 

[12th player]

Umm... you forgot (or dropped) Sainsbury.

Isn't he suspended for one game? That's why I didn't include him in the starting line up.

 

[Atomic]

Not according to the team list... everyone's available. I'm interested to see how this affects your bench.

 

[12th player]

I wa stold that he was either suspended or injured.If Trent is available, no doubts about him starting as he is our best defender but I would make tactical change. Put him in DM with Olly, Mont to the bench instead of Kwas.

 

[midfielder]

Maybe because they pretty well hacked the crap out of us last time we played?

Draw would be OK in that one too. (MV vs SFC)

Nailed it...

 

[dibo]

Tommy got clipped several times and Emerton made an awful tackle but TBF, we gave ADP a fair kicking too, Tommy was rightly sent off for a reckless lunge and Hutch should have seen straight red for... I still don't honestly know what to call what Hutch did...

but regardless, carry on.

 

[LFCMariners]

Why on Earth is Pelle starting again? What has he done this season to warrant being amongst on the starting bench, let alone the starting squad? Last time he played (against Perth on NYE, if I recall) he was awful. Arnie's subbing of him couldn't come soon enough!

 

[dibo]

Why on Earth is Pelle starting again?

Who said he's starting? Did I miss something?

 

[midfielder]

Tommy got clipped several times and Emerton made an awful tackle but TBF, we gave ADP a fair kicking too, Tommy was rightly sent off for a reckless lunge and Hutch should have seen straight red for... I still don't honestly know what to call what Hutch did...

but regardless, carry on.

Saw it differently ... every time we make a break we where fouled... IMO the most physical game we have been involved in all season.. glimpses of Kossie's killers returned...

 

[Mumbles]

Wow! How many teams get served water from a member of the Pellegrino family?
Will that be still or sparkling Mr Zwaanswijk?

Should be a good game tonight.
Love to see Duke and Bernie start as per above.
Maybe visa versa - Bernie with Rose. &. Duke with Pedj

 

[midfielder]

Shoulda made the move yonks ago... but just about to finish the last bit for a client ... five minutes home, BBQ, swim, sex [no we have folk over for the BBQ], a couple of drinks, about 17:00 off to the match, park in the Railway car park, ..... live is good.... just need a win now...

BTW did anyone here the comment by PT that our coach was here to prepare kids for sale or words to that effect... wonders aloud how GA takes that...

 

[tsd]

would like to give Anthony a chance in his preferred position, even though we are a little stacked there, put olly back on the wing maybe:

---------------------------Matty-----------------------

---Pedj-----------Stain---------Dutchie--------Rose---

-----------------Mont------------Caceres--------------

-----Ibini------------McGlinchey----------Olly------

---------------------------Macca----------------------------


Bench: Pasfield, Duke (65 for ibini), Hutch (75 for Caceres), Serj. (85 for olly). Zac

 

[tsd]

give fitzy a few weeks to learn the system and he can step in if ibini goes

 

[adz]

BTW did anyone here the comment by PT that our coach was here to prepare kids for sale or words to that effect... wonders aloud how GA takes that...

Looks like it's the club motto these days...

 

[elevated position]

---------------------------Matty-----------------------

---Morton-----------Stain---------Dutchie--------Rose---

-----------------Mont------------Caceres--------------

-----Pedj------------McGlinchey----------Olly------

---------------------------Macca----------------------------
Bench. Ibini. Zac,Fitzgerald,Pasfield

 

[true believer]

thank god arnie's incharge.

 

[Gratis]

BTW did anyone here the comment by PT that our coach was here to prepare kids for sale or words to that effect... wonders aloud how GA takes that...

Yes indeed, and Arnie responded:
"'I do know that the chairman [Peter Turnbull] apparently made a quote on TV the other day, 'That's why he is the coach, to develop players to sell them'. I didn't know that before I came,'' Arnold said. ''I have my own ambitions as a coach, I'm a life coach, not a development coach. I understand why the players have to leave and I understand with good transfer fees why they have to leave because of the club's situation, but I didn't come to this club to develop players. We've been successful in my view at this moment on the field. But I don't want to go too far that it damages the team's performance.''
Arnold was kept up to date with the progress of Rogic's deal but had no influence in the final decision to sell him. He revealed he advised the Socceroo to turn down Reading's approach, on the basis of his squad status and the direction of the club, in favour of a move to Glasgow. Rogic's move was inevitable and a blow for the Mariners title aspirations, but Arnold knows it won't be the last.
Each departure brings about a hardship, but Arnold wears their sales as a badge of pride.
''I don't see anything impacting me at all. I'm a life coach, I want to coach for years, I want to be successful. The young kids, they come and go, they're not bigger than the Mariners, I'm not bigger than the Mariners,'' he said

he also says
''I enjoy it here. I enjoy working with the players, I enjoy living here, the people in the club are fantastic,'' Arnold said.
