Hopefully Gold Coast lose this game, then the final game of the regular season between Sydney (2nd) and Melbourne (1st) [that is if Gold Coast lose there game they are playing right now] will be for the minor premiership and a spot in the Asian Champions League. Not missing that for the world now, flip valentines day.

Phoenix have now secured 4th spot, with three - nil win of the Mariners.
No team has been able to beat the Phoenix in Wellington this season, so signs of us making the last four are quite likely.

 

[mattfb]

Yeah, a home semi was vital for you guys. Glad you got it.

 

[mattfb]

We are number 1, say we are number 1!

What a game. What a win. What a day. Best of my life.

Best home end in the league:

*groan* Stupid Victory chokers.

Yes. Wellington won. Reddy was superb in goals. Hoping for a Sydney-Wellington final.

 

[CG123]

WOOT!!!
PHOENIX!!!
Agree with hedger, Reddy was superb in game, as well as saving those two penalties.
Into the last four now, lets hope we can at least take it another stage further.
I think it's 18 games unbeaten in Wellington now.

 

[hedger_14]

Yeah. It was 17 undefeated at home for the Phoenix before that game so it's 18 now. See how fired up Reddy was when he saved the second of his saved penalties. He's got a weird sort of technique with penalties because he goes before the ball is kicked. It extends his reach a lot but it can also give the opposition striker half a second to change the direction.

 

[CG123]

Technically it's not 18 unbeaten at home, as they lost a game at home in Palmerston North (hour or so north of Wellington).
The record is 18 matches unbeaten in Wellington.

 

[mattfb]

Heard rumours around that Reddy may be going to Sydney next season to replace Bolton. Heres hoping.

Hoping Sydney beat Melbourne. Wellington beat Newcastle. Wellington beat Melbourne. Sydney beat Wellington (Y)

Sydney vs melbourne...

 

[mattfb]

I. Am. Excited.

I downloaded our 2-0 win over them in the final round and put it on my school laptop so I can re-live our two goals and McFlynn's tackle on Kruse when I'm bored in class <3

 

[CG123]

Another extra time match for us, so many chances but still remains 1 - 1.
Come on Wellington!!!
