So does Phoenixs No 3 work also??

[Imyourhero]

Thoughts on Michael Kantarovski?

[Hunter403]

Not ready yet

[Grimario]

Madaschi signed for them... WiWonder if he can play and score against us?

[q-money]

so another week of this clown setting us up not to try to win a game, but not to lose

how fkn depressing

[The Dunster]

If ever I wanted the Wanderers to find some form it is today. Hopefully the Wanderers can win by four or more goals. Anything less will be disappointing.

[hawk]

more chance of the RRB causing a fire and killing themselves than us winning. wouldnt be the worst thing

[sammydog]

As much as I feel for there players and would prefer we win, I sort of hope if we lose, we lose in a big way.

Problem is, that seems to be putting no more pressure on stubbins as he knows his job is safe irrespective of results.

[The Dunster]

more chance of the RRB causing a fire and killing themselves than us winning. wouldnt be the worst thing

You do realise the RBB invented fire

[WolfMan]

Stubbins can't get the $hit-eating grin off his face when answering the hard questions from Tara "You haven't scored in the last 3 games, what changes have you made to combat that?"

To be fair, the lineup looks the most attacking I've seen from us in some time

[the blue manc]

If these donkeys can not beat the Wanderers today they should not turn up next week.

[Retro Jet]

And that's 0-1 gone begging after 25 seconds...

[pistolpete]

I can't understand why Hoole is in the squad. He has signed for Sydney. Why are we giving him game time?

[Retro Jet]

And Aspro means 'the white one' in greek...
