I have to admit I think that is a very classy kit.
I look forward to the many years of people quoting Monty Python at them.
Not going with the black knights, even though the owner wanted it, plain old Auckland FC. Club colours are proper football colours, not Facebook brown like we run around in
Nickname is the Black Knights, not included in the offical name.
Badge looks like someone whipped it up in MS Paint. Kit is very nice.
I honestly can't see how we can avoid the spoon this year.
We have City, Sydney, Brisbane, Wellington, mariners.
Western have Adelaide, MacArthur, mariners, Adelaide, Perth, city.
We are one point in front, with one less game to play, and one less win. So western need 1 more point than us with a much easier run home to avoid the spoon.
Why do we do this to ourselves?
TBH on paper they look a better side than us anyway.Quote:

The spoon could be avoided if we played our best side. Can we get natta moved to LB and push Lucas up to LM. Natta played his best football last year at LB, He Gets monstered at times on set pieces, allows Grimaldi back in.
Ingham to bench, Tom Aq back to RB. Taylor at RM, Piscope up front with Stama
Next year bring in Left sided CB to provide competition to Cancar and Grimaldi. Obviously resign Cancar, we have spent so much time on these guys we need to see it through.
With the sale falling over I don?t think there?ll be a next year.Quote:

Natta isn't a lB and Taylor isn't a right sided player. Natta just need to be droppedQuote:

He's been in poor form anything other then him being dropped sends the wrong message. Stanton needs to show some backbone. Your not gonna perform them your not being picked.Quote:

Some twit managed to take us from the penthouse to the shithouse in less than 12 months.
Be kind he done one good thing at the Jets and the rest was just utter shite inc picking Gallaway in the first 11.Quote:

?We were made aware [Wednesday] that Global Advance (GA), the independent production company that produces the telecast for our women?s and men?s matches, has gone into administration.
?We are disappointed in the manner in which this has come to our attention, and the risk this has placed on our fan, player, club, broadcast and commercial commitments. We have been let down, and will be working with the administrators to recoup monies owing to APL.
Through a lot of hard work by a new production company, Ten-Paramount, and our team, we are close to finalising an agreement and are confident all matches will be broadcast, starting tomorrow. There are many challenges that such a short timeframe presents, but we are working through this urgently with all of our stakeholders, and we thank the production company for their cooperation, flexibility and expertise at such short notice.
Finally, we want to acknowledge all of the great staff at GA, along with their suppliers, that have been impacted by this. They have played a big role in bringing A-Leagues football to screens over the past few years and we are thinking of them through this tough time.?
Far. King. Hell.

The hole's getting deeper, pretty soon it'll be too deep to climb out
APL couldnt run a raffle. But they are great at producing rubbish. KUTGW pretenders
I wonder in light of this issue our " here to get the deal done " prospects even bothered departing the aircraft ?.
Clause 1: APL administrators much resign immediately and relinquish control to somebody more suitable. Ie. literally anybody.
This is what I don’t get. If the clubs run the apl, how the hell has it gotten this bad?Quote:

It has heavily been invested in a board biased to Sydney and Melbourne. We saw this with the GF controversy with most clubs being blindsided. Basically not all the clubs have much say.Quote:

Did you say hello to Sage for us all ?. For all the bashing up on him the bloke had the APL worked out from the very beginning.Quote:

I'll have what he's having - clearly it's good stuff to come up with this brainwave.
Just what the poms want, Football without the running from clubs they know SFA about. How could it fail, Sure this isn't a Townsend idea ?Quote:

He has been a massive let down if I am being completely honest. So I for one, am glad he is goingQuote:

Given that door has closed, it's a shame that Zadkovich is now locked in with Roar. I wonder who the new owner will turn to.
Let's hope that door is also closed to The Hoff.
Closed too everybody at this rateQuote:
