Fucking hell. Fucking absolute shit. Absolute hate that parking the bus and long ball shit from them. Even so we were absolutely awful, no creativitity, so many long balls, no urgency. Just about the most frustrating game I've ever watched. Fuck.

For anyone wondering, this is what it would've been like if Engelaar was available during Aloisi's tenure.

Think he's been good recently. His end product is not always great but he gives the team a bit of directness when he plays. Just beating a man then crossing/shooting. Not outstanding but a good player and certainly worth his spot in the team at the moment.

Not really. And I can't remember if he did use 'we', those last 2 weren't exact quotes, I mostly just quoted for ease of reading but whatever he said was very close to that.

Also said that 'once we got our full squad back we were always going to start winning games', and that 'once we won 1 we were always going to go on a run'.

Well you'd think they'd have gotten a confidence boost after they'd beaten Brisbane, but then they lost 2-0 at home to Sydney so..

Taggart extended his contract with Newcastle.

He just said we were playing 'really good football' under him... Oh wow

Was a fantastic, battling win. As people have said, there were too many long balls bypassing the midfield in the first half. JVS took notice of this and pushed Engelaar higher up at times and from deep free kicks, etc. to hold the ball up in the 2nd half and it worked very well. Still buzzing, bring on the derby!

So Germano to start

Yes O'dea played 56 mins but I don't think either are planned to make the bench. Vrankovic didn't play today so I think he'll come in and the bench will be striker-less. Tando, Mauk, Kalmar/Germano (depending on Germano's fitness), Garrucio and Vrankovic on the bench I'd say.

After the results tonight, I'd say we need 6 wins to make it. Very tough ask but as you say, take it a game at a time and we've got a shot.

Coming from Albury or Warrnabool is pretty keen, but it doesn't cut it compared to coming from Holland - now that's keen! Yeah, making a 24hr flight to land an hour before kickoff, could say he's a diehard

Got a mate coming, from Holland so Engelaar's attracted him. Real excited for this, would be huge if we get up again and I'm confident we can.

Need at least 4 wins from the next 5 if we have a chance.

Equal top scorer in the league.. I can't even

Hahahaha oh my fucking god holy shit what the fuck what a fucking hit this can't be legit

If we manage to keep a clean sheet.. Not just any clean sheet but AWAY from home, I refuse to believe this is real.

We are ripping their defence to shreds, they're getting pulled out of position everywhere and fuck we're playing amazing football. AND THEN 4-0 HOLY SHIT

WHAT A FUCKING GOALLLL HAHAHAH GET IN

Dropped deeper than I'd like at the end of the half but always looking threatening on the counter. Engelaar has been fucking amazing, come on lads!

We are confused. Have just tried to book for ourselves and 3 friends and only seem to be able to book seats for the members. Came on forum to see what others had found. If I now read you correctly this is because the 4 of us who are members, have to buy our tickets now and then have to wait until Friday 7th before we can buy tickets for our 3 friends who are not members? As we would all want to sit together do we then at that later time have to also re-allocate our seating so that we can get all 7 seats together? If so - what a farce. You have to wait until the tickets go on sale for the public to get them for your friends, yeah. I have the same problem.

Think Rosicky would be a fantastic marquee but as a Gunners fan I'm torn. If he comes here and is replaced by Draxler, now that would be a dream scenario.

Miroslav Klose upfront.

Gutted I can't make this one!
