Texi, Stuart and Andrew predicted a City win. How little do they know? Me, I’m nervous no matter who we play and usually I reckon we’ll cough up a few easy goals to the oppostion. So it was today. City is a rabble. We are gonna get creamed next week, I see no reason to go to the derby except to see blood being split. Oh the pain, the pain of it all :crying: :crying: :crying:

Personally Nisbet has passed the Socceroo threshold so sb picked for the Asian cup

Oh well, that was fun. Nisbet deserves some kind of medal for services to neat and stylish midfield play. Torres is coming on nicely. Petroleum FC are still the worst, but I suppose they deserved something from that. Thanks Stuart.

What a ripping affair that was. A stodgy first half and an explosion of action in the second. First City looked to have it and then the Mariners seemed likely winners. Melbourne City………………..…………………………….3 Central Coast Mariners………………..………………….3

If only Nisbet could get goals - it would be a win for the Mariners and a Socceroos jersey. Thanks Stuart
