At the ACL games it's pretty sparce. Not much in the way of active support. If you sit in the top half of the south end towards the corners, you will get a great view and have very little people around you. 

cool thanks i may try that because i am supporting them in the acl even if they don't qualify beating these top chinese teams at home will still be great for the rest of the league 

Its worth going just to see the high quality opposition more than anything else.

Hope you enjoy the game. 

after that result Victory's elimination final will be either Friday May 3 or Saturday May 4 at AAMI Park in a 3 v 6 fixture.

So Docklands is definitely not available that weekend, even if we draw City?

Yep, AFL on Friday 3rd, Saturday 4th, and Sunday 5th.

Everyone should be praying for a Wellington win this weekend. If they do we would most likely finally play a home derby at AAMI.

25,000 of us and one bay of them, fucking littttttttttttttttttttttt

Derby pretty much confirmed. 

Inb4 Etihad on a Thursday.

Could be the game that gets Joyce sacked too. 

City would have to win by three or four goals at home against CCM, and Nix would have to lose by the same margin away to Perth (or whatever else makes up the 6 GD margin) for there to not be a derby final, which is certainly possible but not holding my breath.

It should be on Friday 3rd, given that we've got Daegu away in Korea on Wednesday 8th.

No troisi for the rest of the season... don't wish injury to him but it could be a blessing in disguise,  Honda to finally play in his natural position. 

Think it's more likely that Valeri comes in for Troisi, Baena to LCM and Antonis AM. 

Covert angent linking us with Krishna 🤣🤣 man what's next? Linking us with say baumjohan

i am hearing that Melbourne Victory's elimination final will be confirmed and set to be played on Friday May 3rd according to Adam Peacock from FOX Sports which will be officially confirmed on Sunday Shootout this Sunday Evening at the later of 9.00pm AEST following Glory-Phoenix at HBF Park for the A League finals announcement.

FT 0-1 between Daegu and Hiroshima, our ACL campaign officially over.

could not be arsed going last night. and i always attend ACL games. 

Full squad announced for WSW away.

So good that our players were preserved for the dead rubber instead of the ACL while we still had a chance.

There's a difference between still having a chance mathematically and actually having a chance. We had 0 chance of qualifying from our group and finals preparation simply had to take priority. 

Interesting knock-on effects on our NPL squad today, with Lesiotis, Lauton, Iradukunda and Said the only players from our ACL squad playing.

That leaves the following squad of 16 possible to go to Korea: Acton, Sutton, Roux, Brown, Kenny, Kirdar, Hope, Akbari, Ingham, Lesiotis, Anderson, Carrigan, Iradukunda, Lauton, Palazzolo and Said.

That leaves our starting XI of Thomas, Deng, Donachie, Georg, Broxham, Baena, Honda, Antonis, Troisi, Kosta and Toivonen rested, as well as Valeri and Elvis on the bench, with Acton and two others fine to back up as subs.

NPL squad just throwing away a 2-0 lead, for those not watching.

2-4 now lol

And right on cue ftbl puts out an article answering my question lol

Deng, Donachie and Kamsoba the only starters against Nix travelling, as well as Roux and Kenny.

So Prince Harry had Stand By Me played live at his wedding, and now he's named his firstborn son Archie, just saying.

yeah the FVS facebook page didn't miss it. 

Oh no! I thought I had an original thought. :(

Would absolutely not complain if Muscat is our manager next season , but I think it's time for him to test himself overseas.  He doesn't have anything else left to prove here, and won't get to the next level in this environment. 

I've seen Arsenal fans turn on Wenger even when things were going good, I would hate to see Kev treated the same way if we have a poor year after all the good ones. 

Kev's end of season report card:

Cup: Lost to an NPL team.
ACL: Lost three opening games, gave up after just one home game, likely to end the group stage without a win.
League: Close 3rd behind Sydney, thanks to dropping points at home to Newy and twice to Phoenix and not winning a Derby.
Finals: We'll never speak of the 2019 finals again.

Renew?

Muscat to resign? 

#MuscatOUT surely. 

Fuck it, just go after Rudes. If he can get Wellington playing that sort of football with that little resources, imagine what he could do with a Melbourne Victory squad.
