Re: The Official A-League Thread.
Been wearing mine since like 3pm in anticipation for the game and haven't taken it off since. It feels wrong to do so...
Shame the next home game is in like 20 days.

Re: The Official Football Thread
Next up... the Jets.
I remember sitting in the stands at Parramatta the last time we played, and the atmosphere in the last five minutes as we peppered their goal with shots (but to no avail) was just amazing.
I still maintain that was a fluke win though. Like the MV game where we lost 2-0. Fluke win. We'll get 'em back.
so beautiful

Re: The Official A-League Thread.
I did Tripview. It's literally 90 minutes each way. Add in the fact that it's a 7:45pm game... and I have something on the next day, not good for me unfortunately
I'm a foundation member for the Wanderers, signed up early.
Just like to add Sydney is red and black.
Topor Stanley + Beauchamp = best defensive combo in the comp IMO.
Also, is it just me or does the combination between Ono and Hersi get better and more deadly each game?
I really hope they resign Ono sooner rather then later.
Keen to see Visconte start soon, Dino been playing good last few but don't see him there long term.
Only negative thing I can say about the club, which has been fixed now, but was really annoying, was the jersey shortage lol. I couldn't get to the 1st home game, but went to all the others (except one) and couldn't get a jersey! Ended up giving up and buying home jersey :/ I know they weren't expecting the demand, but it took them 2.5 months to get any stock once they ran out.
Just my $0.02
All in all,
I say Wanderers 2013.

Re: The Official A-League Thread.
Ah, a fellow Wanderer. Nice to see! I too am a Foundation Member but I got in a little later so my number is over 3000...
But yeah, Ono and Hersi are doing very well. I think it's just Ono's brilliant skill that just allows him to get the ball to Hersi, and Hersi just... does what he does. It's fantastic.
And I think Beauchamp and Topor-Stanley are fantastic defenders, but they also get boosted by the fact Popovic has built the team on defence so they just look even better. I'm really pleased though with the way we play - I feel it really does represent Western Sydney.
And ah Dino... no words to explain him.
I've seen his value though. He just draws defenders and that usually gives other people space, and sometimes gives us free kicks or even penalties due to defender error. Not a good striker though, I admit. His... shooting leaves a lot to be desired.
Though I know dat f33l about your jersey situation, I got mine after I got to the stadium an hour early on the Victory game (when we lost 2-0) I think and there were still some at the stall outside. Next game is on like the 24th or something so... I guess you'll have to roam around the shops and hope there are some in stock.

Re: The Official A-League Thread.
Well did you see what Kalac did to the ref... he basically hounded him.
And what did Griffiths say to the linesmen anyway? I was watching The World Game but then Les Murray was like "We've blurred out his lips well... because... yeah."

Re: The Official A-League Thread.
ohk, i live in the south-west near liverpool, so the campbelltown game will be really ideal for me.I did Tripview. It's literally 90 minutes each way. Add in the fact that it's a 7:45pm game... and I have something on the next day, not good for me unfortunately

Re: The Official A-League Thread.
I had to acquire funds before I could sign up. Who knew finding $190 odd would be difficult?

Re: The Official A-League Thread.
I'm not really an active support guy. I'm more of a fan. One thing I do like having a seat high up though is watching team movements - I think the team movements are pretty cool to watch - how the back four narrow in when there is a swift play through the middle, off the ball runs that look for passes that sometimes come, how fullbacks push up the field and then track back, etc. etc.
Yeah but... I like the good seats
