Western Sydney Wanderers vs Sydney FC 9/12/2017 7:50PM

Yup, between Riera being named, and an article saying we're going for 3 of their back 4, Gombau is playing games.

Being in recovery mode for 2 weeks does not mean unavailable to play. Might be able to play still.

And no to Bridge starting. Last derby he was completely anonymous.

And lulz to that article. Who wrote it? Bossi? Standard derby week bs article about squad and trying to unsettle WSW.

No thanks so any of those 3. Fckn HAL always recycling players.

Yeap, derby bullshit, they've had to move on from the standard fare of Popa signing with a new club so they are starting on player movements now

Ref is Jonathan Barreiro.

No Hatchet men like Gillet, Green, and Griffiths-Jones.

Just checked the smh website.

Definitely a Bossi article.

• oriolriera9Thanks to everyone who ask. I have to recovery maybe for these next two weeks.

Am I the only one who thinks it’s weird to take a photo while you’re draped in a towel showing some leg with your physio?

Unless he’s trying to deny the rumours that he’s not injured? But then why drape the towel so? Unless he’s trying to pick up Aussie chicks. In which case I want him concentrating on football. I mean, sure, bang one or two, but don’t spend all the time thinking about it and posting photos on social media trying to make it happen, concentrate on getting better!

Have I overthought this? No doubt. Anyway. Weird photo.

Who took the photo?

Another legitimate question to add to the mystery of the weird photo.

So... the FFA banned the RBB tifo because it said "you can't put a crown on a clown and call him a king" clearly referencing their last tifo regarding Arnie.

Wow. Can these jokers get any worse. (I think I've said that before)

This is ridiculous , this makes me think  they want to protect the image of the next National Coach.

I like to imagine that it's a veiled swipe at lowys attempts at being head of football in Australia. That's probably due to my severe hatred for the fact he is in the current position when he doesn't deserve to be and is an arrogant ****

...anyway, yeah probs about Arnie

Haha Graham Arnold the coach good, the clown leaves esfc what  a wanker dogged the area we’re his from for the eastern suburbs, so what makes u think if we were to get out the group stage he’d stay for Australia he’s a dog always looking for a better deal he’d kick his own mother for a few dollars more

But happy for everyone to run around in Star Wars gear, turn the league into a circus but “a crown on a clown” is stepping over the line  

I reckon that tifo would look good near Lidcombe station.

lol if the tifo was about mark bridge...

Nerves starting to kick in. 

I’m really concerned about this one. Big Josep doesn’t help with all his talk of philosophy and being a process etc. 

FFS it’s derby get out there and twat them 

he needs to learn from Large Sam Allardyce, came into a disorganised Everton got the defence sorted, moved the ball up field quicker and we are now winning games 

Philosophies is the stuff Craig Foster can bang on about, as he doesn’t have to win anything

Yeah man, based on the last two weeks I just can’t see how we are going to stop them and where the goals are going to come from. 

Don’t know if I can’t sit through another 4-0 drubbing.

We need a miracle. The team needs to turn up and be brutal. 

If fit oriol should start up front with Santa. 2 up front Risdon and Llorente told to get the ball in the box early. It’s easy this football management thing

I can’t see that happening at all. 

All I see happening is continuously passing the ball around not being able to penetrate then sending an aimless cross in to the keeper. 

We are such easy beats right now. Set up to absorb pressure and catch us on the counter will kill us. If Sydney get an early goal they can just shut up shop. We could play over two legs and still not score. 

Most toothless, harmless attack vs the sturdiest defence.

Yep I’m dreading tomorrow 

Anyone we can wind up & get them sent off early.  Brosque seems volatile enough.

How about Brillante and Buijs as well.

Reduce them to 8 and the VAR assist won't count.

I can’t get excited for this. It’s been commercialised into a comic book convention, the RBB is being censored as if we are still at school and to cap it off; we played them 6 weeks ago... 

I actually hope there’s bugger all people there and perhaps the FFA might wake up.

With the way games involving sydney are reffed, brosque could flip out and chop someone in half and he wouldn’t be sent off, in fact we would be forced to offer a written apology for getting in his way

Rhyan Grant should never last 90mins in a football game yet each derby he remained 

im sorry we are the everton in this derby relationship

Putting it out there

Anyone wants to indulge in some booze and meat pre-match the Concord West pub is a decent go to. Who's up for it?

So, who is in?

Be fooked if I'm going to go to the derby without at least some booze, meat and moral support first off.

A whole lot of people are going to Concord

Depending on whether they want to go to the WLeague derby - they may go early
