TALKING POINTS:


General

This is just the second Saturday night match against the Nix in Newcastle. The last on 20/11/2010 saw the Jets win 1-0 with a Marko Jesic goal.
And they have won 3 and lost 1 of the Saturday clashes against Wellington in Newcastle.
Seven players have scored doubles in this fixture at Hunter Stadium.
This fixture has produced an average of 4 goals per game over the last 10 between these two



Key Stats from Previous Round

Newcastle have managed to gain 5 points from losing positions so far this season.
Newcastle remain undefeated after 4 games for the second time in A-League history. The last time was 2007/08.

[plague]

not going.
lose.
fold the club.
downfall starts now.

[Hunter403]

We rarely beat these bastards. Expecting the wheels to fall off this weekend.

I'll still be there tho

[Jeterpool]

Positive feel about the heart of this team. Think we will win.

If Kanta is out it's a blow, but offers a legitimate reason fro Brown to feature and Champness to come in the team.

[plague]

even though its a late start its still gonna be 44 degrees at kickoff.

[The Dunster]

even though its a late start its still gonna be 44 degrees at kickoff.

Which in the past favours Wellington as they are frozen on arrival and the 44c heat simply brings them back to normal operating temps.

[StannyCFCJET]

No kanta start cowburb or Johnny k. **** brown off. We gotta stop trying to find a place for him. He isn't performing or offering us anything atm

[380]

Lose

Zane to manage on the weekend as Ernie does not like to show for Nix games.

[boz-monaut]

even though its a late start its still gonna be 44 degrees at kickoff.

16–19°C on Saturday with showers

so a summers day in Wellington

we're doomed

[Jeterpool]

we're doomed

Weren't we doomed regardless?

[MFKS]

Weren't we doomed regardless?
**** Me.

Have some faith you ****s

We are mediocre until Ronny comes back at least

But they are worse than us even when we have no Ronny

I expecting 3 points on Saturday night and a ****ing clean sheet

In the bag

[hawk]

**** Me.

Have some faith you ****s

We are mediocre until Ronny comes back at least

But they are worse than us even when we have no Ronny

I expecting 3 points on Saturday night and a ****ing clean sheet

In the bag

fmd, bipolar MK now swings hard the other way in support of jest. Bagging not far off now.

[StannyCFCJET]

fmd, bipolar MK now swings hard the other way in support of jest. Bagging not far off now.

The good results have sent him mad

[Couscous]

I believe we will lose to Wellington.

[MFKS]

fmd, bipolar MK now swings hard the other way in support of jest. Bagging not far off now.

No

I firmly of the opinion that Bert has raised the bar slightly enough at the club that we should be able to win and expect to win this game

These blokes should salute on Saturday night

I be pretty ****ing pissed if they don't as I will feel they have shafted their fans AGAIN

Expectation in Newy is growing

We turned the ship and it onwards and upwards

[Cabaye#4]

No kanta start cowburb or Johnny k. **** brown off. We gotta stop trying to find a place for him. He isn't performing or offering us anything atm
+1

Brown is easily the worst import in the league.

[StannyCFCJET]

+1

Brown is easily the worst import in the league.

Behind Hoole

[belchardo]

possibility that i will be at the game, so guaranteed loss.

[goaliepersempre]

Will be at the game, hopefully bring some overseas luck.


Hopefully not as tired as in Sunday st the match, but most likely pretty drunk 😂

[Couscous]

How good is this? Jets playing the prime-time game.

[StannyCFCJET]

If this rain continues we wont get over 8k IMO

[Jeterpool]

But with all the plastic fans we have won't the water run straight off?

[StannyCFCJET]

Hahahaha GOLD

[Hunter403]

Get there early for the wonen's game. Great to watch!

[Jetmaster]

Whats the story with Fux Sports? No coverage of the girls. Match only coverage of the Jets game as they have to get Back Page done first.

And have noticed the last few weeks on the highlights show that we are the only team that has a 60 second highlight package without commentary.

They hate us...

[Retro Jet]

Ummm...who's the Jet fan from Adelaide?
I'm here on a conference and have scouted the Rosemont on Hindley St as the nearest sports type bar to my hotel that show games.
PM me if you want to meet up. :D

[Hunter403]

Good win by the girls. Let's hope the men can emulate it!

[The Dunster]

If this rain continues we wont get over 8k IMO

I think it's televised on Channel 10 as well - so 65" OLED at home vs cold and wet stadium is a pretty simple choice for me.

[sammydog]

I think it's televised on Channel 10 as well - so 65" OLED at home vs cold and wet stadium is a pretty simple choice for me.

See you at the ground then.

[StannyCFCJET]

Its bloody cold we better win

[Hunter403]

Still Johnny K can't make the squad. He must have pissed Ernie right off!

[Jetmaster]

Newy fans so soft....will be lucky to get 5000 at this rate.

[Hunter403]

Only 1 bloody coffee stand open! No wonder fans are staying away 🍵

[plague]

Just letting you know I’ve had a very good gambling day and the Jets win is the final leg of a multi in our hands.

Proceed with caution.

[StannyCFCJET]

Mullen at RB for the nix. Destroy him Nabbout

[MFKS]

Just letting you know I’ve had a very good gambling day and the Jets win is the final leg of a multi in our hands.

Proceed with caution.

We better ****ing salute

We ****ing due

Hold on



We ****ing over due to win in Newy

[MFKS]

Mullen at RB for the nix. Destroy him Nabbout

We going to raise them with a Boogaard

So it levelling out

[Hunter403]

7 mins in and Plague must be feeling quietly confident! A good start!

[MFKS]

Remember when we use to play at home and we wouldn't have a ****ing shot in the first 20 mins as we just had no intent??

Then we signed Bert

**** off Couscous

[The Dunster]

When does the Nix keeper start high school? Looks about 11

[Hunter403]

Apart from a god awful haircut, Champness is looking good!

[The Dunster]

Nix r on the ropes.

[Hunter403]

Who the **** is this team in blue?

[Couscous]

Then we signed Bert

**** off Couscous

Don't blame me; I didn't hire him.

[The Dunster]

No goals so far makes me nervous

[Hunter403]

All over them....now watch us concede.

[Hunter403]

Nix really slowing the game down.

[MFKS]

I do like how Bert has managed to get a backline together where the 3 blokes playing out from the back are Topor Boogaard and Kanta

Having those blokes play making when the game gets slow is bringing in the lulz

[MFKS]

Remember when we talking about Hoffman delivering a decent cross??

He does just then and Our Caravan walks enough one in

FMD

[The Dunster]

Penalty?

[Hunter403]

How was that not a penalty@

[MFKS]

How was that not a penalty@
We are not Sydney FC

Cast iron penalty for them

[WolfMan]

Remember when we talking about Hoffman delivering a decent cross??

He does just then and Our Caravan walks enough one in

FMD

You’re saying that wasn’t a good cross?

Far out you’re hard to please. Anyone else delivers that and you call it a good effort.

Call a spade a spade. You don’t like Hoffman no matter what he does

[MFKS]

Where the **** they find this referee from??

****ing hopeless

Two blokes shoulder to shoulder

Gives a free kick

[The Dunster]

Dig a hole Finkler. Soft khunt

[Hunter403]

As usual, this bastard in yellow gives us nothing. He must hate us more than Fox does

[halo se7en]

This ref is going to **** us over. Can’t wait to give Nix a FK.

[MFKS]

You’re saying that wasn’t a good cross?

Far out you’re hard to please. Anyone else delivers that and you call it a good effort.

Call a spade a spade. You don’t like Hoffman no matter what he does

All crosses that don't find a man are wasted

Fact

Did he find a man??

No

He just smashed it waste fully into the box

Anyone can do that

Considering he was unmarked and had time you should be expected to go better at hitting a target than he did

[The Dunster]

We need to keep the ball better. 2 many cheap turnovers

[The Dunster]

Roýýýyyyyyyyyyy!!!!@!!!!

[Hunter403]

That's our Caravan!

[WolfMan]

All crosses that don't find a man are wasted

Fact

Did he find a man??

No

He just smashed it waste fully into the box

Anyone can do that

Considering he was unmarked and had time you should be expected to go better at hitting a target than he did

That’s fine. Maybe start berating every other player who does that then, and it won’t look targeted at one in particular

[The Dunster]

Hoffs doing well tonight. I must be watching a different game

[Hunter403]

Hoff, Ivan, Champ, The Queen, Roy and Dimi are all on tonight.

[Hunter403]

Roy again!

[westjet]

Hoffs doing well tonight. I must be watching a different game

Agree. Loving the combo with champness. Cant wait to see how champness/gorgeski goes.
Some great football being played. Go roy.

[The Dunster]

Boogs did well chesting it down for dimi. Roy!!!!!

[MFKS]

Hoffs doing well tonight. I must be watching a different game

Dimi though is killing it

Can't wait to Ronny is back and we start playing Dimi at 8 Ronny at 10


Be a sight

[WolfMan]

You guys are wrong. Hoffman is the anti-Christ.

[MFKS]

****ing rare to hear these ****s getting clapped off at HT

They ****ing deseve it tonight though

Going well

[The Dunster]

NTS needs to learn how to use his right foot. I nearly go into cardiac arrest when the ball is on his right

[lquiquer]

Dimi though is killing it

Can't wait to Ronny is back and we start playing Dimi at 8 Ronny at 10


Be a sight

Yeah but Mullen is quicker than Dimi... FFS... :shock:

[lquiquer]

We very rearly play The ball back to Duncan.... they prefer to kick the ball out of play... wander if they are under instructions?

[Mark325]

Roy has to be the second best striker we've ever had behind lord griff

[belchardo]

Roy has to be the second best striker we've ever had behind lord griff

third best. how can you forget laybutt?

[StannyCFCJET]

All crosses that don't find a man are wasted

Fact

Did he find a man??

No

He just smashed it waste fully into the box

Anyone can do that

Considering he was unmarked and had time you should be expected to go better at hitting a target than he did

Hoff close to our best tonight. Shut up memba and enjoy the game

[StannyCFCJET]

What's up with Nabbout been quiet for weeks

[Hunter403]

Finkler gooooonnnnne

[plague]

Topor and Boogaard look frightening with the ball at their feet.
hope Nix put everything in the air.

[The Dunster]

Champness is stamping Browns release papers

[WolfMan]

Champness is stamping Browns release papers

More impressed with Merrick’s management, not feeling pressured to play a visa player over a better fit for the system.

[Hunter403]

Ugar and Dimi are in everything. Really impressed with their work

[The Dunster]

Who are these blokes in blue?

[plague]

7 mins in and Plague must be feeling quietly confident! A good start!
Your boy Plague never lacks confidence.

[Hunter403]

Nabbout! That will get his confidence up!

[Imyourhero]

Champness is heading the right way to be a Newy legend

[MFKS]

On another note

I think it safe to say it going to take something biblical even for us to **** this up tonight


Enjoy it fellas

Been a long time coming

[plague]

More impressed with Merrick’s management, not feeling pressured to play a visa player over a better fit for the system.

This is a very good point.

[belchardo]

What's up with Nabbout been quiet for weeks

quick, have a go at somebody else! :rof:

[Hunter403]

More impressed with Merrick’s management, not feeling pressured to play a visa player over a better fit for the system.

Got to agree. He has us playing exciting, entertaining football that has purpose and a go forward attitude. What a refreshing change for tjis club.

Bandwagon needs to be dusted off. Many will be soon boarding if we keep this up.

[plague]

How many points we get last year have we overtaken it already.

[Hunter403]

How many points we get last year have we overtaken it already.

Hasn't Roy just about equalled all goals scored?

[MFKS]

How many points we get last year have we overtaken it already.

I getting a bad feeling that booking an overseas trip when the finals were on was a bad idea

Give us the toilet seat now

We going to take Arnie and Devonhead and VAR down

We going to win it all

[WolfMan]

Somebody has hacked Da Membah’s account. Reported

[The Dunster]

How good is the Irish Griffo.

[westjet]

Gee the Phoenix are terrible. Scum with some comp for the spoon.

[Hunter403]

How good is the Irish Griffo.

Change his name to O'Griffiths

[plague]

One thing that has made me happy.

We are FINALLY treating trash teams with the contempt they deserve.

Now if we can match that to the usual decent showing we put on against the Melb teams we might be harf decent.

[MFKS]

Now if we can match that to the usual decent showing we put on against the Melb teams we might be harf decent.

When we playing the Gypos again ??

Need to take some more trash to the kerb I think

[plague]

The **** Harper talking about Vujica ‘getting burnt’ 4 times.

75 mins in Nix had one shot on target.

Harper is such a h8r

[MFKS]

What a set up by King Vuj for Krishna

Even trying to assist the opposition now

[MFKS]

The **** Harper talking about Vujica ‘getting burnt’ 4 times.

75 mins in Nix had one shot on target.

Harper is such a h8r

Did he mention the night he screwed Newy Football by missing two ****ing penalties??

[plague]

Every time I see Kanta play this well I get so sad thinking how much his injuries cost him.

Such a good footballer.

[MFKS]

You know these opposition cunce are really bad when Boogaard and Hoffman are taking the piss dribbling past blokes easy as

[plague]

Boogaard been good.

[Hunter403]

Boogaard been good.

But he's holding that calf. Maybe he should have been replaced. He doesn't look comfortable

[The Dunster]

Agents Dura, Abbas, and Mullen were great 4 us tonight

[halo se7en]

Great win. Could have had 6 or 7 if our attackers were on the same page. Ernie’s definitely got them purring.

[MFKS]

Boogaard been good.

Yeah this bagging the shit out of our players shit is finally paying off

Boogaard playing well
Kanta looks like a world beater
Nabbout now scoring

Who the **** we need to start on now??

[plague]

Who the **** we need to start on now??

You?

Might start seeing some decent posts out of you.

[StannyCFCJET]

The **** Harper talking about Vujica ‘getting burnt’ 4 times.

75 mins in Nix had one shot on target.

Harper is such a h8r

Vujica didn't get burnt once had top deck in his pocket all game

[hawk]

Vij had a great game on Krishna. Champo showed much maturity with good touches in the front 3rd but got caught a little narrow on the flank at times.

We not only pressed well but were hard in the challenges. I havent seen this from us since ever

Wello hardly had a kick pawkunce

[StannyCFCJET]

Dimi taking an extra touch when the pass was on was a joke

[MFKS]

**** Me.

Have some faith you ****s

We are mediocre until Ronny comes back at least

But they are worse than us even when we have no Ronny

I expecting 3 points on Saturday night and a ****ing clean sheet

In the bag

Told you these ****s had it in the bag

On another note this trophy is ours to lose
The only thing that going to stop us is the VAR

We get Griff out of retirement for 15 min cameos off the bench and we going to win it all

[turbojetfireV8]

Finkler gooooonnnnne

Finkler was sh*t all night, surprised he lasted that long, Kalendarovic wasn't much better

[The Dunster]

Wellington don't have any guys that will roll the sleeves up and do the hard work. Finkler, Krishna, and Vidosic are all talented but without others to cover for their pathetic work rate without the ball the Nix are doomed.

[Wilso8948]

Never watched a more one sided game. I'm still reserved until we play someone of quality. WSW have been the closest we've had so far.
Also would have liked to have seen Shabow go on as 10 rather than Brown to see what he really has. The game was won.
Score should have been 10-0 missed some chances but loving how fast we move the ball around.

Quality opposition??

It the A League

They all shit

It just the depth that varies

[plague]

gotta admit it was funny hearing Harper saying that 'Newcastles depth has yet to be tested'...........right as 2 of our 3 off season signings sit busted in the stands.

[Hunter403]

Hey Plague, how did that multi pay?

[Wilso8948]

Quality opposition??

It the A League

They all shit

It just the depth that varies

Sydney look far and above anything we've come up against. City have stepped it up. WSW looks very good and I cannot write off Victory. Throw us in behind them somewhere but I can't see us matching it with them depth wise. If we had a fit Vargas...

[plague]

Hey Plague, how did that multi pay?

had 3 bets today.
14/1, 8/1, 9/2.
All won.
see you at the bar, my shout.

[MFKS]

Sydney look far and above anything we've come up against. City have stepped it up. WSW looks very good and I cannot write off Victory. Throw us in behind them somewhere but I can't see us matching it with them depth wise. If we had a fit Vargas...

We look far and above anything that Sydney have come up against

Stop being so negative

We are on fire

Arnie going to be shiting house bricks at the prospect of facing us

We have no equals

We are 5 games down 25 to go

Take that invincible tag they tried claiming last season.

Raise them some interest turn that son of a bitch sideways and stick it ride up the Gypo ****s arse

[turbojetfireV8]

stats wise, is there any corelation between Krishna getting the sh*t Ibini haircut and his form turning to sh*t as well? thinking it might be time for Hari to shave it off...

[Jetmaster]

On another note...surprised to see the new screen up and running so quickly.

And how about new celeb fan, Ben Elton, appearing in glorious HD with a Jets ball in hand (plugging his new film natch).

Just saying this to my young bloke in the car on the way home. We watch all games every weekend we both agreed we too have not seen any other team produce what we can when everything is falling into place.

[Couscous]

He scored two and set up another with the shit haircut.
