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.

Bet with your head, not over it.

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.

Jets will win this one if Kanta starts the game as he will mark KFC out of the game

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

I'll check it out later

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.

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.

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
