R14 v WSW | Sat 11 Jan | 4:45pm | RoF/SS7

See if you ignore the post, its like it doesn't exist. Then it becomes a noise in a vacuum. Eventually you have the scenario of 'if a poster posts in a forum and no one pays attention, does the post really exist?'

…….

We've been going well, so not as much to complain about.

I am sure Royz is still around.

I'm super nervous to see how we play without Ball. Typical that it's the game that I'm bringing a bunch of first-timers.

That being said, playing WSW is probably the best time to miss Ball, especially if they have Muller out

I think it just means you'll see more of Davila on the ball.  I'll be putting money on him to score this weekend

fixed

I'm finally making my first game of the season thanks to Shane and the stadiums help. Getting to bring Isabella to because the game is at a family friendly time is just the icing on the cake. I can't wait and Isabella has been counting down the sleeps!

So if we lose, we know who to blame.

At least they have Baccus out. Mitch Duke still a threat upfront, though he seems to struggle if he gets marked out of the game.

Take your picks of the Jinx! Me, our unbeaten streak, Ball being out and/or our 150th home game at Sky Stadium. 

Does that number include  pre season cup games friendlies and finals games.

I make it 144 (148 with pre-season cup matches)? Ultimate A-League has it at 143 (147)?

Wonder where the 150 came from.Does yours include Sydney friendly and finals.

Andrew Howe has it as 134 Regular season games before this season http://howe.how/football/HAL_season-guide_201920.pdf (Pg 169) + we have had 4 Finals games + we have had 5 games this season. So 143 played + 4 pre-season cups = 147.

My extra game was a QBE Stadium match I had down as Westpac Stadium, so with that accounted for it seems it is 143 + 4 pre-season cup.

The 1st preseason game against Sydney  was just a friendly wasn't it and  there was 2 exhibition games.

LA Galaxy, Boca Jrs and Newcastle + didn't we face the Chinese team at Westpac also?

Yeah forgot that one  so 150 might be right.pp

Home and garden show games against tw

It's either less or more than 150, no idea what games they are including to get to that figure

Dont think they gave been counted.

Sesquicentennials have a reputation for being a bit of a shambles.

It's a made-up number. The only 150th that counts (competitive matches) will be either the first home finals match this season or the first match of next season. If you want to count every Phoenix match (non-competitive as well) then the 150th has already been.

Great opp today again. Can't wait. WSW will be in playoff mode. They have to win, so will have great intensity. 

Big chance for McCowatt to take the next step.

I make it 2nd game

Not going with the usual gang today, but going with a mate who hasn't been this season yet. Pumped! Really hope all the stars align today, be great to keep up the momentum they've built.

Any idea on PAX since getting media hype?

For those of you who like to know these things, pre-sales for tomorrow's game is the strongest (ex Auck) since Sydney FC on 19 Dec 2015. Pre-buy now - don't get stuck in queues at the gates!

Class parenting this morn.

7yo: I'm making a sign for the game. How do you spell phoenix? I know it starts with p-h but is it e after that?

Me: No, it's a little bit unusual. Have a guess.

7yo: i?

Me: No

7yo: o?

Me: Yes good one! What next?

7yo: Hmmm I don't know, it's weird

Me: It's actually an e after that, it is a tricky one.

7yo: So it goes p-h-o-e?

Me: Yep that's it... oh and of course nix after that bit

Result:

Lets gone Phoe!! -thats an awesome sign -I hope to see it on the telly today

Belter day for it too.

COYN!

what was the crowd like for the 2015 game?

10,027 for the game against Sydney.

Babble gets to keep his job for another week after todays game. I really wish we had a full strength starting 11 for this match but no. Anyway it was good why it lasted.
