For a former defender Riki Herbert puts out a shite defensive lineup. As long as they play a flat back four (circa 1970's football) they will be cut to pieces by other teams as they were all last season. Gotta wonder if Riki was paying any attention when he sat those UEFA coaching badges, cos football has changed a bit since he was playing. And after watching Sunday's debut it would help if the defenders tried marking the opposition instead of each other as well. Maybe it was because the opposition were in yellow and it got our boys confused. Shame they didn’t change the coach while they were at it.

Each game is... a PARTY! I lose my voice. Once I thought about biting my nails. (Bad habit...so I didn't). I've met a shed load of new people. I ache when they lose. I feel up for days when they win. I am a FAN!!! :) The best thing that I’ve found since moving to Wellington is Wellington Phoenix. Each game is… a PARTY! I lose my voice. Once I thought about biting my nails.
