Don't we know that... haha

Unlucky Guys. You should have had that in the bag tonight, the finishing of your team is woefull, could have had at least 5.

Just one more would have done it... oh well, we're second so that'll do for now.

Hey guys, another fan here. Big night tonight.

Well I'm gonna be watching the game at the Alma tonight so hopefully a good crowd turns up at all the pubs and clubs around Adelaide for the game!

Predictions:
* Adelaide 3 - 1 Central Coast
* Reds to score first two goals, Mariners open up 2nd half with a goal and Reds score late in the 2nd to claim premiership.

Bold predictions, but faith in the team is always good. :D

Our first competitive match of this season started with an, against the odds, 2-0 away win over Pohang Steelers at the Pohang Steelyard. Would be fitting to finish a great season off with a 2-0 away win over Central Coast.

As much as you don't win games by whats nice or fitting, I think the team is up for this. We know whats on the line and we have nothing to loose. We are now third and nothing can make our finish worse than this. At the start of the year, I'm sure most teams would have liked to have the chance to only have to win 2-0 away to claim top spot in the final round.

Predictions: Adelaide 4 - 1 Central Coast

Do you think CCM would put an understrength side in order so rest some players as they have nothing to lose today?

YES to start tomorrow game 4-4-2
I could bet any money in the world that we are going to play 4-4-2 formation as that is the only way to win the game tomorrow

How could you be proud if you have not won nothing?
Certainly not me!

It is going to be very hard for us to beat CCM tomorrow but would love us to win it
If we finish 3rd our season is gone as our record away from home is pretty awful
May GOD help us tomorrow!

We should probably learn something from the Roar in tonight's game...

dont you start

means fark all if we cant win either the championship or the premership

You should be proud of them regardless of the result tomorrow, they have had a fantastic year. They have done the whole of the football community in Australia proud in the ACL.

As much as this is hard to say being a victory fan, you guys have been the most consistent in the HAL since it started. Your season this year must be down to your assistant coach from Victory (Mr Stubbins), lol.

The nerves are all part of the love, eh? Being a fan sucks some days....but on others it's sweet. I'm backing the boys to prove Krijoz wrong and bring home the plate to Hindmarsh. The Melbourne result is actually not too bad for us. 1-0 would have been better but we can score and the Coasties have nothing to gain by winning. Of course they'll try for their fans and they are a good team, BUT, Adelaide is a better team and have so much to gain. Travis is due for a good match. Cristiano is due some game time. The other defenders have to prove that Sasa might be missed but isn't everything back there.

Roll on Sunday night and our second minor (stupid, stupid title) Premiership.

Of course we could lose and then win the Grand Final so we could all bite our nails for a few more weeks. ](*,)

I love this game.

I love REDS very much but I still think we will finish 3rd and that is best we can do.
I wish to be proven otherwise!
To beat CCM 2:0 would be very hard as we have conceded 6 goals against them this season and got smashed 3:0 at Gosford earlier this year.
I hope the rest of few days for the first time in many months would help us over the line.
Good luck boys tomorrow and make South Australia proud

if that happens MV will be premiers because they have beaten us 3 times head to head this season.

Thank for the comments Blue

I cant imagine how I would feel if we ended up with nothing after all that hard work

ive got a question - can a team be = on goal difference as well as points

How do they decide if thats the case and can that happen after Sunday?

Been burnt a few times this season then GA!

Our boys have set you a target for Sunday. Good Luck (and that isn't a piss take).

You guys deserve the minor premiers. You have had a heavy schedule, done the A League proud in the ACL and been the best team in the domestic comp. I am just glad we have secured the right for a second chance.

oh god - i almost feel sick inside

we need to win by two goals against a team we cant beat even if we started now

Im starting to believe that the ACL has ruined our season :evil: :evil:

Tonight's result of MV def 'Nix is bloody annoying for us on Sunday. Anyone got any hints they wanna pass on to Viddie? Hahaha...

(PS. I'm actually crying deep down inside)

Nice to be missed, General. Have to admit I've been enjoying the waves and ham sandwiches but I also miss my internet! I'll be back this week, hopefull to disect our amazing premiership win. Please, please, please....

In fairness to KA, I didn't tell him I wouldn't blog this last week. It's just been so good to be away from my desk. Guest blogs are a decent idea though and there are any number of AU fans who would do a great job. I'll ask about it next time I have to be away. I'm off to the middle-east for work in February and I hope to be able to keep the blog going from Jerusalem, Cairo and Addis but we'll see. United helps keep me grounded while I'm in strange places.

:( I have also been missing our AUFC blog from Stephen, KA should have given a guest blog to someone.

Sadly true, AUFC has been looking very humdrum for the last 4 weeks. Actually ever since they played WP prior to the CWC they just sort of... stalled? Oh apart from the Gamba Osaka re-match, which was a great game - even if fustrating watching Travis just miss 3 times! Maybe they need a bit of ginger prior to the game :lol:

I wouldn't mind coming second to the Roar either. But the Victory do look like a better unit at the moment. I think the Reds have got to get their act together this weekend or else we won't see the silverware...

I always want us to do better than MV Ted, it burns when we lose to them...

As long as we finish higher and do better than Melbourne, it will be all right :):cool:

You know we are far too level headed a group of fans - apart from krijoz of course!
