Finishing top you are clearly the top team for the season and gain ACL qualification. Correct! Top is ACL and 2nd is AFC cup and winner of Aus Cup qualifies for this aswell. Adelaide in ominous form right now 😳 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyh001 Posted Saturday at 10:27 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 10:27 AM Smurfs are down 4-0 against the welfare cheats with 15 to play. hahahahahahahahahaha. we're still a game clear of Adelaide, 2 games against the welfare cheats and have two games in hand (replayed derby and tomorrows game against the bullshits). honestly believe the plate is firmly in our hands - comes down to sticking to strengths** and putting our chances away. ** that said, of course games are a thing of ebbs and flows; you adjust where forced to / required (eg red cards) ** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the likes of Tilio and Talbot! They are very much like Victory now.. try and sign a few big name players who are well past it. The average age of there squad now is all above the age of 30! Wilkinson for example is now 38 and is still there starting CB! And after last night's fame Sydney FC gave away Calum Nieuwenhof and Aidan Simmons. But at least they kept Joel King 😆 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will go to as many matches that City play at home as I can, consistent with health issues with big crowds (such as derbies with MV), whether they be league, finals, FA Cup, ACL or AFC Cup, but I draw the line at going to Sydney if we get to the GF. And my position won't change. A pity, because it's something that a couple of us said we would do because we are getting older of course. APL may yet see the folly of their ways and end the Sydney deal after the three years, and revert to the real tradition that we have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APL may yet see the folly of their ways and end the Sydney deal after the three years, and revert to the real tradition that we have. i will believe it when i see it, but there will be a secondary benefit of us all drawing a line in the sand. as soon as we get massive crowds whenever we play at home during the semis (think of point a below too) and a run of non Sydney teams in the GF (think of point b below too), and the APL be under pressure to revert. combine that with what what should be; (a) good turn outs for other non Sydney teams (be it Victory, Adelaide, Perth, etc etc) during their respective semi final games, and (b) lacklustre away bays in the GF because many fans wont be arsed travelling fingers crossed we see change. when you look at they AFL, the do by all means get good crowds either way (a benefit of having tradition over 100 years & something that points towards the tradition in the a league). yet there is always a much bigger buzz when its Melbourne based teams.

jw1739 Posted Sunday at 03:01 AM Author Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:01 AM Tradition evolves and it cannot be arbitrarily created. In fact, that's what "Tradition" means - being passed on from one time/generation to the next. APL can't see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fensaddler Posted Sunday at 07:34 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 07:34 AM As ever, Victory fans are very thin on the ground when they aren't doing well. Twice as many will claim to have been at this match than were actually there... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart1011 Posted Sunday at 07:59 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 07:59 AM Victory certainly just kind of did us a favour. If we can win this now against Macarthur then I feel like the plate is in our hands.. Adelaide will be the only challenger but have a much tougher draw than us in the remaining fixtures!

Tommykins Posted yesterday at 01:50 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 01:50 AM Ufuk Talay has been linked with just about every A-League job whenever there's a potential opening. I think he's got a fairly good thing going at Wellington, would be interesting to see if he'd move or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
