The Fulwell End

I agree. Mate who takes his 9 y o says that he's not interested in letting him think that what happened is the norm. We will lose both of them if groupthink bullshit is maintained.

At the presser: Aloisi was disappointed with the points but happy with the performance. Feels that Heart dominated the first half and a big chunk of the second even with 10 men. Goals will come.

I'll be live blogging the game on Sunday. Here's a very brief preview Preview After a fairly downbeat season preview I was pleasantly surprised by the (err) heart shown by Heart in the Derby. They really should have smashed Victory. Poor finishing meant Heart's dominance was not reflected in the 2-1 scoreline. All of a sudden their squad looks good, given the strong performances of the guys expected to deliver (Colosimo, Fred and co) and the back-up from the others. Williams stood out, as did Macallister. Gerhardt looked a good pick-up in defence. If he can avoid an early yellow he may have an even stronger game. Wellington, despite ADP's presence, won convincingly against a poorly organised Sydney. It is hard to draw a line through Wellington's performance and I suspect they will struggle away from home against a fired-up heart. Nonetheless I'm tempted to take some of the $6.00 offered on a phoneix win at time of writing.
