Sydney -V- Knights

[peterss]

You would think that Sydney would win this game....Im predicting them to win 2-0 but i hope the knights can win or draw.

CMON YOU KNIGHTS :D

[Victory_PerSempre]

2-0 or 3-0 Sydney

[laz]

1-1 draw. the knights will build on last week and sydney have to many key players out. if knights score first it will be a knights win.

Who would have thought that we could talk about Sydney drawing/losing to the Kiwis at home, and not be taking the piss. Yet here we are....

Although, I think they will win 2-0 :(

[Liam]

Come on kiwis! Leeds lads will be at the dickens watching this tonight, feel free to pop down and watch it with us if you're around.

[T-Mac69]

Scum are bad, but I don't believe they are bad enough to loose at home to the New Zealand.

2-0 looks the goods.

[futuremelvicstar]

2-1 Hickey double

[golazo]

5-0 to sydney.

Hopefully my foxtel is hooked back up in time for this game.


PS. peterss, your pathetic excuse for a team played the shittest looking football I have seen in my life last night :mad:

[andrew1116]

The interesting thing about this game will be the crowd.

Sydney only got 12k last home game.. and since then they haven't won (i think it's been 6 weeks without a win now) and also the New Zealand factor will come into effect.

So it's possible they will stoop even lower with another disappointing crowd.

[Football fan]

I hope the kiwis lose and they get kicked out of the comp ASAP.

Besides Sydney need the win for their bandwagon supporters.

and we got 22 on Oaks day and a school night. WERE SO GOOD IT'S UNBELIEVEABLE

[andrew1116]

22.9k.

despite it being our lowest TD crowd all season - it was still a good turn out..


I dont really care who wins tonight. I hate Sydney - but as someone else said, its important for them to keep winning to get their crowds up..

As for NZ - I just couldn't care less about anything got to do with that club. It's littered with old hacks who should be playing conference football in England.

[laz]

ill give people the late mail. they beat qld. they were second.

[andrew1116]

NZ wont do anything tonight.

They have scored 4 goals all season.

1. A ripper from Buari
2. A goal off a deflection.
3. An own-goal against Adelaide
4. An own-goal against QLD.


Cant see them scoring away from home tonight...

[SydneyTillIDie]

Crowd will be 11k or such, maybe even 10kish

Dip in form (esp home form) sucks

[Popos]

A draw would be alright. Preferably after Sydney has taken the lead.

I don't want Sydney to win but a loss at home to the Knights would be a real kick in the guts, and bad for future attendances.

[laz]

you cant under estimate nz. they have some good players who can change a game. defensively they are quite sound. scoring goals is a problem. if they get one early lights out for sydney as they have no to score goals. the sound of david zdrilic does not quite scare defenders

[jimihendrix70]

well nzk will be lucky for a draw they just cant score goals but then again sydney cant really defend for 90mins so it should be interesting

[laz]

they have had the odd blow out. thats due to the fact they have to defend for a good 80min. you can give stats all day but its one of many factors in a football team

[laz]

casey last game was unlucky to score. Buari is a starting 11 player at any a league team. hicky is a little hot and cold but on his day can produce.

[jimihendrix70]

have nzk still got that south melb reject?

[laz]

also sally wells was great last week all over the park and the striker that got injured was solid

[laz]

yeh they do even nzk fans have turned on him. lol i guess he just cant cut the musted

[~LUFC~]

i'm gunna go out on a limb and predict that NZK will score tonight, they will still lose 3-1 though.

[SydneyTillIDie]

WTF!?

Who?

And they have been conceeding an average of 2 goals a game!!!

Malik Buari
Richard Johnson
Scott Gemmill

The problem with NZKFC is if they go a goal down, especially in a match, they lose all confidence and go to pieces. The longer they stay up the more confident they get and the better they look.

and the problem with sydney is they score early but can never finish it off :D

[SydneyTillIDie]

Yeah, sucks ass. We'd have won last week if we'd had a fucking bench.

[~LUFC~]

and the problem with sydney is they score early but can never finish it off :D

so then by the recent history of each team, Sydney will score first then both teams will fall to pieces. gunna be a fun game to watch :D

should be a cracker :D :D

[Bacardi 8]

Knights 3 v Sydney 1 ;)

Dont know whos going to score the goals for the knights, but they will come from somewhere lol

[MVFC_Lad]

about 10,000 at most at the ground...woeful, reminds me of north harbour tbh

[andrew1116]

about 10,000 at most at the ground...woeful, reminds me of north harbour tbh

yeah.

it looks like no one is at the ground.

[jonk]

I want Sydney to win. They're starting to struggle a little in their market. I hate Sydney but I love football.

[sj]

I want Sydney to win. They're starting to struggle a little in their market. I hate Sydney but I love football.

This is the Sydney attitude though, always has been and seemingly always will be. If they're winning, they're popular. But if they're losing, don't expect any loyalty...

[~LUFC~]

Didn't sydney get a real bad crowd, around 5K last year about the same time against New Zealand? I think that day had terrible weather but still no good.

I think their lowest crowd was against Newcastle... when it was really wet. That was just under 10k, I believe...

[acmilan_victory]

FUCKING PATHETIC CROWD.

Should be kicked out of the league this team!!

[jimihendrix70]

did it just kik-off?

[acmilan_victory]

did it just kik-off?

yeah Sydney 0-3 NZK

[jimihendrix70]

yeah Sydney 0-3 NZK

[acmilan_victory]

LOL 3 own goals???

[jimihendrix70]

[acmilan_victory]

[sj]

Agree ;)

LOL hey i thought u wernt going to the game last nite?

[Bacardi 8]

(in terms of crowd, that is)

Cant really tell crowds scattered everywhere, im going to say 9 thousand

[Bacardi 8]

but you dont know what the crowds liike behing the camera

[acmilan_victory]

LOL hey i thought u wernt going to the game last nite?

I predict 11,300

[Bacardi 8]

Poor sydney, you can just barely hear them chanting

They sound quite good.

Although they are using alll our chants :mad:

[drina_69]

been a shit game so far shit crowd they will be lucky to have 9k there the cove are loud today

[Bacardi 8]

There actually louder now, before you couldnt hear them

[sj]

The crowd always sounds louder in an empty stadium, because the mics don't pick up the noise from other parts (of the ground). Our chants have to actually compete with the rest of a very vocal home support, unlike the Crack...

[Lefty]

Richter sucks.

[Lefty]

Nah don't talk shit. The cove are pretty good tonight.

[Lefty]

Sydney FC aren't though :)

[sj]

Nah don't talk shit. The cove are pretty good tonight.

I hope you're not talking to me ;)

[redda2]

according to the a-league site, sydney has all the possession

this looks familiar from last night

[Lefty]

I hope you're not talking to me ;)

You're up late. :D


Ball strikes Gemmil on the arm. Not a penalty though. I skipped up off the turf he didn't have a chance to move his hand away. Even if Robbie Slater doesn't agree.

[Bacardi 8]

Sydney 1
Knights 0

Scorer: petrovski

[redda2]

Noooo

Stupid new Zealand!!

[~LUFC~]

any1 got description of the goal?

[jimihendrix70]

looks like no-one cares lol

[andrew1116]

no one does..

[jimihendrix70]

is it half time maybe?

[Bacardi 8]

Sydney has a poor crowd due to u2 playing on the same night, thats what was said before
and its starting to rain in sydney

[aussie_ascoli]

So predictions then?

(in terms of crowd, that is)

7500

[Bacardi 8]

is it half time maybe?

yea its half time

[Bacardi 8]

its pissing down in rain in sydney

[andrew1116]

where are u2 playing?

how many people could be at u2 opposed to aussie stadium?

[aussie_ascoli]

The crowd always sounds louder in an empty stadium, because the mics don't pick up the noise from other parts (of the ground). Our chants have to actually compete with the rest of a very vocal home support, unlike the Crack...

+ the microphones are 15m ahead of the supporters. I remember at hindmarsh me and my 5 mates did our own chant 10m's away from the mic, it sounded like there was 50 of us, and even the stand shut up and listened.

[jimihendrix70]

its pissing down in rain in sydney

well they must have all fucked off then LOL

[aussie_ascoli]

where are u2 playing?

how many people could be at u2 opposed to aussie stadium?

Sydney FC must have the biggest ratio of football fans that are U2 fans.

[~LUFC~]

Sydney FC must have the biggest ratio of football fans that are U2 fans.
Of course, and fans that are scared of rain (any other excuses they can come up with?).

[jimihendrix70]

well, they have only scored 4 all season so.........

[Dasher39]

9,871 crowd! Hahahahaha!

Robbie Slater getting stuck into the Sydney FC fans for not turning up, and then talking about how great the support in Melbourne is this year. He said doesn't matter if they have been struggling, you support through thick and thin.

I think his words were, "...you only have to look at Melbourne to see what fans are."

Also mentioned that if you look at Melbourne and how we struggled last year, OP was packed almost every game.

Gave the Sydney fans a real baking!!

[jimihendrix70]

Shithouse effort by the Sydney fans.....I don't think it's funny, a struggling Sydney will kill the league.....

[Dasher39]

Shithouse effort by the Sydney fans.....I don't think it's funny, a struggling Sydney will kill the league.....It's not funny in that aspect, but funny how they always refer to themselves as the best fans in the league yet they can't even crack 10,000 to a game.

Don't worry too much, they have a win now so expect all the glory seekers to be back out again next week. That is if there is no concert, or it isn't raining, or...what other excuses do they use?

[dan_red]

no big name player to bring them in, shit media by the club - and a fan base that only turns up if the team is top of league - might be a job for Ben to fix

Robbie Slater - a "naturalised Victoria" now i have to watch the replay just to see that...what minute mark was it..cos i was falling asleep and turned it off after 3rd goal

[Dasher39]

There was just a streaker on the pitch at Aussie Stadium!

Damn hooligans! What type of family friendly atmosphere must Aussie Stadium be if you have naked men running around on the field.

Just what Budget FC need...a fine!!

madi-gra???Gay people parading around in Sydney...isn't that a normal day? :D

[Dasher39]

Robbie Slater - a "naturalised Victoria" now i have to watch the replay just to see that...what minute mark was it..cos i was falling asleep and turned it off after 3rd goalUmm, I would say around the 70th minute mark. Give or take a few minutes!

that's true, but we need a super strong Melbourne & Sydney to carry the league financially...
4-0 nice goal by Carney

[Bacardi 8]

When the mardigra parade is in sydney, imagine what there crowds will be, im going to say about 2thousand
