The Yellow Fever have been using Yellow Army while you lot were still the 'moronators'.

Why doesn't Wellington compete in the 0FC Champions League? They would surely win it and therefore qualify for the FIFA Club World Cup, which would be an mazing experience for all involved, not to mention the huge financial reward. Sorry if this has been discussed before, which it probably has, but I'm just curious because I feel for Welly. The only competition they will ever win is the A-League, and while the Nix are more than competitive, if I was a player (this is just my opinion no offense) I would much rather sign for a club with the option to play in the Asian Champions League and the Club World Cup. It would be amazing to see Welly in the Club World Cup, and I think they should either be allowed to play in the ACL (unlikely I know) or the OFC Champions League. A few years ago when they formed the idea was brought up I think but what's the situation now? btw very unlucky today bad luck guys!

Wellington Phoenix FC has secured a new partnership with national sports betting agency TAB Sport that will help assist the club in enhancing its profile throughout New Zealand.

The partnership will see TAB Sport's logo featured on the sleeve of the Phoenix's playing strips and training gear, starting with this Sunday's home match against Melbourne Heart at Westpac Stadium in Wellington.

It will continue the following two Hyundai A-League seasons, with a range of exciting initiatives planned by the club and TAB Sport.

Wellington Phoenix FC Chairman Rob Morrison said the partnership was another strong vote of confidence in the club and would help the Phoenix further strengthen its ambition of growing and developing support for and interest in its brand and football nationwide.

"The club is committed to being a leader in the New Zealand sporting landscape, something that will deliver major benefits for both the club and the game of football in New Zealand in the future.

"We're delighted to have an organisation of the standing and ability of TAB Sport onboard with the club. Both our organisations are passionate about what we do and about the future of the club and the game in this country."

Michael Stiassny, Chairman of the New Zealand Racing Board, the organisation that owns and operates TAB Sport, said the Phoenix had captured the imagination of sports fans throughout the country.

"Our customers love their football. The Football World Cup is always one of our biggest events and the Hyundai A-League and the Phoenix, in particular, is building interest at a phenomenal rate. The club has sport's most passionate fans in the Yellow Fever and a Phoenix home game is an unrivalled entertainment experience. We believe TAB Sport can add even more to that experience.

"But, crucially, we want to be part of the great things that are happening in football nationally and we're looking forward to working with the club to cement the Phoenix's status as a truly premium sports brand."

TAB Sport is already a major supporter of football in New Zealand, with significant annual levies paid to the national governing body based on wagering turnover and profit.

A-League side Wellington Phoenix has signed a new sponsorship deal with New Zealand-based sports betting agency TAB Sport.

The partnership will see TAB Sport's logo featured on the sleeve of the Phoenix's playing shirts and training gear for the next two Hyundai A-League seasons.

While financial terms were not disclosed, a deal of this kind is estimated to be worth around US$75,000 per year.

Commenting on the deal, Phoenix chairman Rob Morrison said: "The club is committed to being a leader in the New Zealand sporting landscape, something that will deliver major benefits for both the club and the game of football in New Zealand in the future.”

Huh. Missed this post.
Why can't we be in the O-League? I don't know, and I've actually never thought about it before. I guess the ASB Prem clubs wouldn't be happy about the Nix taking a New Zealand spot in it, and NZF don't seem to want to be involved in anything to do with the Nix.
As for the ACL, well, depending how we go this season, we could push a case for inclusion. However, until we get in a place that would allow us to qualify if we were any other team, it's all just talk and speculation.

I've wondered. If the league stays exactly as it is, and the usual Top 2 teams of the season are the two sides in the finals, would Australia lose there 3rd spot in the ACL or would it go to the Heart?

GO PHOENIX! Let's get 'em

YEEEEEEAH! WOOOOOOOOO!!!
Who are we getting?

I don't know, let's just GET EVERYTHING. I CLAIM ROJAS!

I come to Australia for better life. I love football. I work my brain. My home, Sri Lanka is part of Asian Football. Australia, my new home, is part of Asian Football. New Zealand, for right or wrong, is not part of Asian Football.

I cannot see how team of Phoenix, based in Wellington, New Zealand, can compete in Champions League of Asia. It not make sense.

Do you see how I can come to this point of view?

I speak enough of this team from Wellington. I turn attention to my new team, Adelaide United. I switch radio to SAFM for drive show. I enjoy nice day in my new home, Adelaide, and I focus on my team Adelaide United.

Can anyone tell me what formation Ricki Herbert has stuck with lately? Everyone I've spoken to has a different idea.

Bump

Can anyone tell me what formation Ricki Herbert has stuck with lately? Everyone I've spoken to has a different idea.

He usually plays a 4-2-3-1 with the Phoenix, but I would say in the last couple of weeks with Ifill back to full fitness he has been playing a 4-1-4-1 (but looking much more fluid than normal)

Ifill up top, Greenacre and Brown in behind (with Brown having slightly more defensive responsibilities, and Greenacre looking to receive the ball back to goal and lay it off), Sanchez and Bertos out wide, with Smith playing the holding CM role.

Could be horribly wrong but that is the best estimation from what I have seen.

Don't need your help anymore, cheers guys :)
