Points away from home will win you the title!

Greetings,

For years myself and Henry Bergkamp have survived countless early mornings and late nights to watch the mighty Arsenal, never missing a game, so it was with much surprise that i was to miss the 1st half of the Newcastle Jets v Wellington Phoenix game on Sunday afternoon, considering that the kick-off was at 3pm. The very late night i had attending the Workmans Club presentation night didnt help i must admit, but that being said i am still very upset with myself, i mean its The Jets for goodness sake, thats worth missing some sleep for! I awoke to a msg on my phone saying "Phoenix are all over you", its not the best thing to wake up to but the good news was there were no more msgs, so there was still hope.

When i arrived just after the 2nd half had started Bergkamp was sitting there looking quite smug, "another draw for the Jets hey!?", smartarse, "how good are Sydney going?"......silence. Ive always thought i had some special inspirational powers and this was a moment that reinforced that feeling because from the moment i started watching the game the Jets played all over the Phoenix and went on to win the game. So 2nd spot was ours and we had become only the 2nd team this season to win a game, an unbelievable stat.

I have a feeling ive stated earlier that the key to this years competition was going to be getting as many points away from home as possible, case in point the Mariners, 2 of their 3 wins have been away from home, thats a massive advantage. People will suggest that the league is boring with all these draws, i think thats bullshit, if you want goals galore bugger off and watch fumble ball(AFL), the fact there has been so many draws this season has nothing to do with negative football, its simply proof that the salary cap is working! I believe that if you can't appreciate a nil all draw your not a real football fan.

Nice to see that Bergkamp has already forsaken his team, Sydney FC, by missing this weekends game. What a supporter, what commitment, what passion. He is leaving me to take a friend in his place because he doesnt want to watch them have another draw. Or maybe its because he doesnt want to listen to that pathetic excuse for a club song, now that is a joke! I am going to be telling Jimmy (famous as the manager of Jimmy's Jewels) that the singing of this song is compulsory. By the way Happy Birthday for Friday "The Manager".

So its Australia v Argentina tomorrow night hey? Am i the only one who hopes we get our arse kicked just so Arnold looks like even more of a gimp? What a tosser, he will probably even play Alex Brosque up front as well hahahahahaha.

Its just my opinion
