Good on 'em.
To be the first Australian team to make the final is a pretty good achievement.
Good to see them do well, but FMD it's frustrating that this mob have achieved more success in 2 years (barring a GF win) than we have since 1990 or whenever the Breakers started.
We had a golden period too building from season 1 to 3 of the A-league. The owner dismantled a grand final winning team (why is still anyone's guess) and we've never got that winning spirit back yet.Quote:

Such a culture comes from good and clear leadership.
Yeah true, first 3 seasons of A-league had some good times for us, but nothing on this scale. 2 grand finals and an ACL final in 2 and a bit years v 1 grand final, a few (4-5?) semi final appearances and an ACL Rd of 16 exit in 20ish seasons (in various forms of teams...Breakers, Newcastle United, Jets since I was a young kid watching) is hard to swallow
I honestly love being mediocre. Would rather be a whinging bastard than a gloating one.
I'm hoping this is sarcasm.Quote:

With stability you can build success on top of success.Quote:

They were unlucky not to make the grand final, and if they had they would have done a huge amount better than adelaide (6-0 was it to victory?)Quote:

Also im starting to get sick of people saying that WSW are Newcastle Rejects.
How many players were involved last night that were actually released by us because they "werent good enough"?
Labi, that is all!
NTS released as he was on a huge amount here and they needed funds elsewhere (well they thought they did, i dont know where they went)
Covic came to the end of his contract and decided to move on.
Bridge left for the money of bling fc and then moved on.
The others guys like tarek and d'apuzzo arent there anymore
Im not saying us releasing these players / players leaving us was a good or bad thing im am just getting over the whole jets rejects thing!
well said. cmon hilalQuote:

They have emailed members asking them to vote on where it should be held.
I thought they already won?Quote:
