bt50 Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Unchanged line-up again for mine. Should be too good and have much more to play for. 2-0, Arzani and Bruno to score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belaguttman Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Banana skins are yellow and black. We should win this by any football logic but, of course, we all know how this opportunity often ends. Despite that, I'm anticipating a win, 3-0 or maybe 3-1. I'll be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisphantomfortress Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Can't make this one as I've got another event on. Would be just like us to fuck it up and we miss out on a home final. Jokes aside 3-0 win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnno cpfc Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Unfortunately this will be the last home game for us(me and Mrs Johnno) as we find it is just getting to the stage of not being affordable anymore along with the lack of excitement that has been hanging over us for the major part of this season . So we want to end with a good win this week, and hope that we make it to the grand final haha. If we feel like coming to a home game we will just rock up to the window and buy a ticket in GA our friends who we sit with at the moment look to be doing the same thing and for the same reasons.I will be keeping a watch on this forum for all the latest news etc, so good luck to the club ta ta for now. 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have lost 9 games this season, imo 4 of those were direct from individual brain farts, and the remaining 5 we were genuinly beaten, with 2 of those agaisnt Sydney FC. If only this game was on a Sunday, we would almost be guranteed a win. Edited April 3, 2018 by haz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torn Asunder Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Everyone, I mean everyone should get to this game, and bring a friend or two, or if u can’t make it give your ticket to someone else. I haven’t missed a home game all season and I can’t wait for this one, and it would be great if we got a decent frickin crowd. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be hard to top star wars round, thats all i can say. I'd much rather FFA dropped these other "rounds" (which IMO are just an echo of what the AFL does) and encouraged the clubs to support the various worthy causes of their own choice as City is doing for this home match. IMO it helps the clubs to integrate into their communities much more then the other way, which seems forced and smacks of "me too." Whilst saying the above I want to make it clear that I think the annual recognition that we have of our home ground being situated on traditional land should continue. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haz Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) - If we win this game, no matter what the other results are, the lowest we can finish is 4th - If we win and Victory lose/draw, then we finish 3rd - If we draw and Victory lose, we will finish 3rd on goal difference (unless we get belted 3+ goals by Nix, or Victory beat Sydney by 3+ goals) Just want to point out too, we have the 2nd best defence in the league! 1. Sydney (22 goals), 2. City (31 goals), 3rd Adelaide/Newey (33 Goals) Edited April 5, 2018 by haz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose by 1 goal and Victory beat Sydney by 2 or vice versa then that accounts for a 3 goal difference. Unlikely that Victory lose to Welly then beat Sydney mind you, but the A League is a strange vixen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Victory to lose agaisnt Wellington, their goal difference will drop by at least 1 going into the Sydney. And if we draw agaisnt CCM, our GD will remain the same. Hence why I said 3 or more goals. 1 minute ago, belaguttman said: Is this the first game all season where we've had the whole list available for selection?

Same for Tongyik and any of the others who are members of the squad - Cavallo, Genreau etc. etc. The whole squad is listed on the back of "City Insider" and it's not necessary to print a list of those not selected for any particular match.
