So depressing to watch to bog average teams playing a semi at our ground and we didn’t come close to making 6, club should be suitably ashamed 

one of the big average teams has no support, home ground and didn’t exist a year ago, people can F off with the Gumby, babbel, JP etc need time. Just get a competent manager in and get your foriegn player signings right it’s not hard

There's no thread, so I'll just ask here. Can you watch tomorrow's Champions League Final anywhere if you don't have Optus.

Roar with home advantage to beat WU.

Mind you, the home advantage didn't help the Nix last night!

If the home advantage continues as it has so far, on Wednesday we'll have a  WU v Perth GF

[GunnerWanderer]

Tight contest well done to rudan and co. 
 

looking forward to the matchup wed a melb derby semi and Perth looking for revenge 

[wendybr]

Enjoyable game for neutrals! Brisbane with chances, but couldn't get the ball in the net.

Well done WU...they seem like a really committed and unified group.

PS Don't think they deserve to be called the Fraudsters any longer. 

 

 

[wendybr]

PS Looking forward to Weds night tbh.

Unlike some purists here, I like the finals.  

It's actually quite easy to take when you just want to see a close, hard fought contest, and you don't really mind who wins (altho there is one team you don't want to win - ).

Oh, that's good!

There's an intensity about these games, that makes them compelling!

Bit too intense if your own team is playing..   although who will ever forget that Roar game!

Even if we hadn't won it, it would stand out for its desperation and intensity - unforgettable!!.

 

Sighhhhhh!

[wendybr]

So....I don't get that some people don't like finals.

How boring is it when some stellar team wins the Premiership, or the Plate here, some weeks before the season ends?

Season fizzles out for the rest of the teams (altho not if there's relegation, of course).

This way, there's drama and excitement for weeks more!

Sighhhhhh!

I've also thoroughly enjoyed both games....the only sad part is that I haven't seen the Wanderers play with the same cohesion all season !!

This is true.

I watched with envy!

I hope the rest of the finals are as good to watch - because it means that there is hope for the A League, even if, at the moment, we don't really seem to be part of that.

The success of WU shows what a shambles we are 

[Burgerman]

5pm Wednesday kickoff should be interesting giving WU a bit of ball speed advantage, bet they come hard and try blow city away. 

 

[WHACKO]

No confidence, a draw after 90. After that who knows. 

[Burgerman]

Looking like could be goals it's opening up counter attack football nice 

[mack]

1-0 City. Maclaren pen.

[Burgerman]

Own goal now 2-0 game over which is disappointing as WU looked the better team just couldn't capitalise. 

[WHACKO]

Bye bye Rudes. HA HA

Head says Smurfs to beat the Perfs. Goes without saying though. Perth to win.

Head and heart saying Glory. Sydney have been utterly terrible since the restart. Perth were able to contain Nix really well and prevent any quality goalscoring opportunities.

If Glory manage to go through wonder if Popa can go 0/5 in grand finals? Might be getting ahead of myself there.

[Wanderboy]

I still have a soft spot for Popa (despite the fact he royally screwed us over in the end and contributed to the shite show we are currently in), so yeh go Perth.

Plus the fact I hate ESFC with a passion.

Wouldn't it be 0/4?

Or am I missing something?
