Kew Jaliens is also closing in on the club record for most yellow cards in a season. Jaliens has 8 while the record is 10 (Ruben Zadkovic in Season 7).
Wellington haven’t kept a clean sheet in the last 8 games, and have only kept one clean sheet away from home all season (12 appearances).
The Jets have only ever received 1 penalty in 21 meetings. This was in Season 3 and was scored by Mark Bridge (30/12/2007). The Jets have since gone 18 matches without a penalty in this fixture. This was awarded by Strebre Delovski
The Phoenix, however, have received 5 penalties since this time. They have converted 4 of them - Chris Greenacre being the only player to miss his shot.
The Phoenix have beaten the Jets in the last 3 visits to Hunter Stadium.
In the first meeting between these two clubs in Season 3, Round 3, Matt Thompson scored the 500th goal in A-League History.
The Phoenix have scored an average of 1.9 goals against the Jets in all matches. The Jets have scored an average of 0.85 goals. This goes up to an average of 1.25 at home.

[halo se7en]

Phoenix 1-0

[Jeterpool]

Furns - I'll update the details for teh front page hopefully tonight

[Jeterpool]

My prediction is a 2-1 loss.

Despite Ben Sigmund beign suspended for the game, the Nix have a more-than-adequate replacement in Boxhall. Zane will hopefully have learnt from the last visit that Carlos Hernandez cannot be given the time or space that he was afforded last time. We need a job done on him, similar to what Zads did to Engelaar in the last game.

What is concerning for me is the ability, or lack there-of, to score against the Phoenix. We average a little under one per game when compared to their almost 2 per game. The Nix, however, aren't as proficient at Hunter Stadium. THere is also the point that they have beaten us the last 3 times they have played us in Newcastle.

Both teams have the finals spot still in their sites, and should either team lose then the chances of making it to the semis are pretty much gone with 3 games left. A draw won't help either team so expect attacking play and open spaces.

I simply think the Nix will be too classy for us.

Important info:
Wellington $4.00 for win.
Draw $3.40.

Plague Jnr will be at the game (still never seen a Jets win).

You will get a Wello win or draw at about $2 which covers all bases and doubles your money.

Round 24 Preview –Newcastle Jets v Wellington Phoenix


The Jets have only ever received 1 penalty in 21 meetings. This was in Season 3 and was scored by Mark Bridge (30/12/2007). The Jets have since gone 18 matches without a penalty in this fixture. This was awarded by Strebre Delovski


I vaguely remember Tarek missing a penalty about 4-5 seasons ago, was that against Wellington or am I confused?

[pv4]

I can't wait for Carlos to tear us a new one. They destroyed CCM a few weeks back.

Wellington by 3, Carlos first goal scorer. Easy money.

YEs I think we had this convo last time...I cheated this week and went off the rd 18 template

[plague]

So Tom, this is what you do with your time since Channel 9 booted you off. I thought you'd be helping your mum at the stables. :gent:

True story, took Robbie Waterhouse on one day in Sydney was 2/2 and had my best tip of the day running. Loaded up and sat back ready to collect as my donkey was clear on the home straight then this 3 legged thing ran it down and was paying something like 40/1. Later in the day I was walking past him and he gave me a look that said "yeah I fixed that race just to teach you a lesson you little shit".
Since that day no one in his family has gotten a red cent out of me.
**** the Waterhouse family.

Note: back in the day he had his daughter Kate helping out on track. She is stunning. Like, really really stunning.


Anyway, go Jets.

[MFKS]

I can't wait for Carlos to tear us a new one. They destroyed CCM a few weeks back.

That's where I think your wrong WLG.

Nix will win but scrape by.

Those Jets will make us suffer a painful defeat.

Control game not score, concede against the run of play, dominate for a long period, equalise, then push on for the winner and make it look like it is a matter of time before they take lead then conceed from a late attack completely against the run of play

You know it makes sense.

Jets 1 Nix 2

[seldom]

Win...2-1

The reason you probably think that is he books and walks Southy players all the time. Probably because he sees things as the rest of the world do not like you with your rose coloured Southy only delusional glasses on

I jokingly told Mrs Grim that we would either win 5-0 or lose 5-0, there would be no close contest in this one. Wish I had put money on that, ffs :(

[GazFish35]

Any decent bloke would retire on that strike.

[WolfMan]

First home match I've missed in over 2 seasons due to being crook. Think I'll stay home until further notice.

Side note, was wearing my KB replica as supplied by Todd

[hawk]

Only 9.5k? Pretty pathetic effort :(

by the shit that has been dealt to home fans of late thats a great crowd.

btw great win, well done, the fans deserved it, the players showed some of their potential and after some well earned sprays over the last couple its nice to have a positive vibe.

[plague]

What a hit by Bridges!

PV4 your thoughts?

Almost made up for that butchered 3 on 3 break where he hit the long ball into the bloke double marked instead if the bloke open 15 yards in front of him.

But yeah yeah played in the EPL, good bloke and all that.

At least he got out of the way of Josh Mitchell's wonder strike.

It was Griffo FFS.:pissup:

Get you eyes fixed.


This is how those ****ing lies started about Griffos great goal where he ran the length of the pitch and toe poked it with the outside of the foot whilst Nick Carle ran interference in the last minute to win a game and that other heinous lie about Griffo not scoring the winner in the GF

Seriously, you know it wasn't Mitchell cos it didn't end up hitting a passing car on Turton Rd, Mitchell would have hoofed it which is why hell will freeze over before we see anything like that outta him... Now, specsavers jokes aside, what a great night - shame we couldn't have gone into the gyppos match with that mindset from the outset, massive boost for our confidence etc etc, but hope we keep it up, not just a one-off

Oh aye, as stated I knew the Jets would win tonight so the little man was given a start.
Absolutely gave it the massive ones when Griff scored.
Legit story, through no prompting from myself, he asked if he'll get to wear #29 when he makes his debut for the Jaffas tomorrow.

As you said though Member, it's all downhill from here.

[Jeterpool]

I worked out Darius Boyd's third party agreement must have been the job as score board dude. Hasn't been paid hence no scores! Not a good look tinks

Defo griff who got the last one.

Stoked jimmy holland's hand ball got missed too.

How embarrassing is it to this league that brisbane lost to us three times ffs. LOL

[MFKS]

How embarrassing is it to this league that brisbane lost to us three times ffs. LOL

Still can't work out how they are winning the comp. Don't really watch many of their games yet watch them play us and they are ****ing shit and easy to deal with. Stack 3 blokes on the left stack 3 blokes on the right. Mark up and let them have the ball and crowd them out when needed. Play on the counter and nail them

Not ****ing rocket science.

[Grimario]

Two of the completely insignificant things that irked me today were Fox Sports social media today.

First they tweeted "All over in Newcastle, a thumping win for @NewcastleJetsFC that @SydneyFC looking over their shoulder"... which suggests we are chasing Sydney and might overtake them rather than we HAVE overtaken them and this win puts us in front.

Then they tweeted "Jets win puts them into equal 6th spot". No it ****ing doesn't, you cretins. There is no "equal" spots. It's outright decided by goal difference.

How the **** can these idiots be so completely and utterly useless?

[GazFish35]

They do it to wind you up grim.


They hate disc golf too.

Not as amazed as I was when i looked at the Ladder Friday and found out Victree were coming 2nd. Remember them getting arse raped 5-0 2 games on the trot and then got raped by Heart. Not exactly setting the world on fire are they and have somehow made it to 2nd

That scares me tbh. After this abysmal season we're still in with a chance or 4. Wow.

[plague]

Not enough praise given to the big Kew tonight.
Bloke was immense.
Legend.

[MFKS]

Bridges scores one ****ing goal and they whisk him down to Foxsports and put him on TV tonight for the EPL.

FMD:blush:

Newcastle Jets eye finals spot after thumping Wellington Phoenix 5-0 to go equal sixth

:soapbox:

Headline:
Newcastle Jets eye finals spot after thumping Wellington Phoenix 5-0 to go equal sixth


The woman at the start got it right though...
"Newcasthe have jumped ahead of Sh!tney FC with a 5 nil thumping of Wellington tonight...."

Then headline contadicted with this text under vid:-
ADAM Taggart scored twice as the Newcastle Jets moved into outright sixth place on the A-League ladder with a 5-0 romp over the Wellington Phoenix at Hunter Stadium on Saturday night.

Pr!cks wouldn't know if you were up 'em Grim....

[weston]

I've been at my local soccer all day, won my game 15-1. I ref'd the womens game, they won 1-0. The reserve men won by forfeit and the premier team won 3-0. Wins all round.

I come home and watch the Jets play and bam, 5-0 win. Now that's a winning day.

Oh wait, the sun kicked my arse, my face hurts.

[Skirt Boy]

I thought we were pretty shit to be honest.

[Premy]

Not as amazed as I was when i looked at the Ladder Friday and found out Victree were coming 2nd. Remember them getting arse raped 5-0 2 games on the trot and then got raped by Heart. Not exactly setting the world on fire are they and have somehow made it to 2nd

2nd with a -4 GD

[pv4]

If Carlos & Signed were there, the result would have been much different. But in saying that, I was really not surprised about the result. There were heaps of doomsdayers after last week but as I said then, I saw heaps of positive Signs in the derby and even thought we dominated pretty much between their 2nd and 3rd goal.

Zane has us going good. Credit where it's due. Griff & Carney are fxxxing excellent - having people who are interested in keeping the ball and being level-headed with it has done us wonders. They both probably don't run as much as they used to but are both amazing for us. How good was Griff actually caring about the fans, and even forcing heskey to celebrate with the Squadron ffs!

Brillante is killing it. So is kew. And my man Josh Mitchell is playing for the shirt, and going unreal.

Still not the biggest gallaway fan but he does enough.

Bk was excellent - probably my favourite game by him. I didn't have a heart attack when The ball came near him Like I used to. Something I noticed though - I thought his best feature used to be his constant talking and ordering of the defence. But he was very quiet. I put it down to not starting for ages, and a confidence thing. I am one of Biraz biggest fans but I can't fault BK and therefore don't think he should be dropped until he stuffs his chance up.

Zenon and rubez bust their gut, they must do an easy 10km each game. Them engines!!

How are we scoring from corners and set pieces ffs :rof:

Credit where it's due - bridges scored a peach, and had a couple of good balls. But I still have a major headache about the bloke at times - how has he been a professional this long but not grasped the idea of not giving away ridiculous, unnevessary fouls in their half? Why does he actually refuse to even look at the ball, let alone contest one, if the ball Looks to be anywhere above chest height? And some of his balls were embarassingly poor. I won't credit him with an assist either btw. But tbh I thought it was a disc race that we were 3 up and didn't give young ox a solid run at 10, thought the sub was poor to start with

Good win. Wd zane, wd players for playing for the shirt. I still hate the idea of top 6 But I'm not against zane getting re-signed so would be happy for us the make the finals if it meant that would happen.

Typical jerks.

[stopper2]

I usually leave straight after the final whistle but last night I wanted to savour the moment and acknowledge the players for our biggest win ever. As the team came around to the Eastern stand where I sit, they all politely clapped back and acknowledged the support....but kept there distance. I want to mention two players first who broke "protocol" and actually went over and mingled with the supporters; Ben Kennedy and Josh Mitchell...a big thumbs up! The other player is one who has returned to the club and his reasons for coming back have been questioned on social media. This player not only mingled with the supporters but was getting photos taken and signing stuff and really taking his time to genuinely show his appreciation. That player was #29.....Joel Griffiths!!!

[Premy]

Sweet 29

[MFKS]

Just occurred to me despite doing my dough yesterday on Nix winning I had Jets to win 5-0 last week.

Potential Genius at work just got the wires crossed as to when

[hawk]

hesky - had some spring in his step, got involved and had some great touches in def & att . must be feeling good about going home.

[MFKS]

Totally surreal feeling today with my football team winning a football game comprehensively through out enthusing and more clinical execution than the opponent.


Being a glass is half empty kind of guy it's a terrible feeling when you can really find **** all to whinge about after a match :tongue:

Hope to feel some more of this in the future cause generally speaking the returns in recent years have been ****ing lacking and I can probably only recall 4-5 games where we bossed our opponent and were superior to them tellingly and didn't arse it.


Well done

we've bossed games and lost but not for a while.

All in all if we had a gk that could score from goal kicks and won the gf on the back of that i'd take it and run

So would I:sup: Winning is everything.

It is just a nice feeling to have played with desire passion and enthusiasm and just blitzed our opponent in all areas and deservingly won and won well. Not expecting it every week but it would be good to do it a few times a season more than the standard once a year effort.

Was quite enjoyable to sit back relax and take it all in during the last 20-30 mins with us having the points already in the bag. Was a rather unique vibe walking out of the ground with people in such great spirits that I probably haven't felt since the other year we raped Smurfs away and won 5-2 and were that dominant the only sad thing was we didn't win by more

Win, lose or draw it never tastes any good.

Oh and Middleby.

Didn't even indulge in the mid strength anything yesterday.

Worked all day on call at night and back at the office today.


Next Weekend can't come soon enough to settle some scores on that account

Totally agree Member
I laugh at the fickle supporters out there who decided not to come because of the loss last week and who are now saying "....shit I wish I went now!!!"
Going through the pain of supporting the team through the hard times is what makes these sort of wins so sweet!

But being a glass is half empty kind of guy the pain and suffering these blokes and the club inflicts upon us makes the times when the good times roll around so much sweeter.

Watching us get thumped/beaten and the feeling of desolation it brings makes the times when you are winning mean that little bit more. Must be hard for the bandwagon jumpers jumping on and off all the time. Never quite experiencing what those who stick through thin and thinner get out of it when things turn good.

Poor buggers are actually cheating themselves out of something quite special

Actually fairly impressed we got 9000 there. Thought it was going to be less.

Don't think many people saw it, but Bridges' goal actually takes a massive deflection which probably helped it significantly go in the net.

Point is, Bridges still poo

And Wayne Rooney's bicycle kick comes off his shin. Still a really good goal and still counts.

More than happy for him.

And after he scored, Pv4 you were my first thought!

Was missing without the deflection. Own goal

That doesn't compare at all. Rooney's does not take a deflection and is thru his own athleticism, bridges is probably going closer to the corner flag than the goal

[Premy]

And after he scored, Pv4 you were my first thought!I was standing right next to Bon when we realized it was Bridges we both said poor PV4. Bon thought the foz would go into overload.

[Jeterpool]

Fair enough point re: Rooney. I was using it as an example of a goal that upon replay wasn't precisely hit with 100% flawless technique.

Can't we just accept, however, that it was a really good goal no matter how it got there?

Why do we have to bag the bloke because he scored a deflected goal? He could have done that and chopped down Jacob a Burns on his way to headbutt Hutcho and people still wouldn't be satisfied.

Because it was Bridges and not Jaliens.

[GazFish35]

I've heard he and BK are starting a vigilante group.

To get us all onside they are planning on hospitalizing burns, hutcho, breeze, mr celery and Andy Harper.

[Jeterpool]

Bump.

2 years ago today we beat the Nix 5-0.

enjoy people
