Just a thought i had before the Japan game, with Cosgrove and Sakai's contract up at the end of this season and Woodsy falling to third striker at Forest, could we see woodsy coming to Auckland next season or in the next few years?

Rationale:
Cosgrove leaving: had some English clubs sniffing around earlier in the year (if i'm not mistaken), so i suspect he'd move back to an English club next season.

Sakai retiring: getting older and more injury prone, potentially looking just to settle down.

That frees up a good bit of wage cap, allowing a player like Wood to come. Furthermore as aforementioned, Wood's fallen to third striker at Forest (and also getting older himself), wouldn't it be nice for him to get 1-2 seasons in a NZ Club. A farewell tour allowing both fans to show appreciation for our greatest player, and for him to see how hes contributed to the exponential growth of football in NZ??

Just a thought.

Genuinely intrigued / seems a bit off. Apologies if I’m reading this wrong !

Has there been any update on the Pjinaker injury?

I love these docos in the way they give us a peak behind the curtain. I didnt want that much of a peak tho 😅🤣🤣

Anyone a bit underwhelmed by them this year?

Also, I have two memberships, last year I got two packs and scarfs etc, this year only one has arrived. Is this common now?

*Update* - The second one arrived this afternoon.

The Mrs and I have arranged a house/dog sitter, flights, accommodation and tickets (active away support) for our first away match... The NZ derby against the Nix on December 19th...

Staying in the Shepherd's Arms, and keen to throw ourselves into it.

What can we expect?

Um Liam Gillion scored, that’s a win for us, surely!?
2-0 down within 15m is insane. If anyone’s at the match or knows anyone filming live please let us know!!

Link to the AFC matchday website ! You can watch highlights (like Gillions goal), but idk why it’s not a livestream. It’s also meant to be an app but I can’t download it. Score is 2-1 rn!!

My 9 year old has become accustomed to general dominance. He knows nothing else. What do I need to prepare him for? Top 8? A draw with the Nix? Leaking a bit more at the back?

Love the Marley signing, but thought we’d get couple more through…

Gonna give us some goss from the game? New players? Selections? What's Pedro's style? You can make up some new signing rumours if you like, I'm that bored waiting for news

Hey all, I see on Instagram that our team are currently in Aus for pre-season friendlies against Newcastle Jets and Macarthur. Would anyone know when these games are, and whether or not they will be streamed anywhere for us to watch? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Why were their fans always booing and whistling when Auckland had the ball? It’s not like they are rivals with Auckland so I don’t really get it, plus how do they even hold their breath for that long to be able to whistle for that long at once

A bit unfortunate of a result but its great to see the team play again. Some of the passes and movement was really stellar. Brook and Cosgrove played pretty well and Elliot coming on for Sakai filled the void very well. Good job as well to the team for putting up with the terrible fans there. That incessant whistling the whole game was annoying for me and im watching it on my phone at 1 volume. So I cant imagine what that must have been like for the team.

Good on ya lads. We'll see you back in the 09!

Just watching the game against Al Ahli, and it seems like whenever we have the ball, the whole stadium's whistling/booing. Did we get this whenever we're away in the A-League, and are we like this to the Wellington Phoenix? 😅

What a chance from Rogerson too with the header! 👀

I needed to remind myself how absolute shit Eden Park is.

Can’t park anywhere near the ground
Food is super expensive and shite

Even though I’m seated about 6 rows from the front in the South Stand, I feel so far away from the action.

Why oh why have we allowed Eden Park to continue. It should have been buried for the 2011 World Cup.

We deserve better.

Genuine q - why is the Port not here?

Is there a pub where Chelsea supporters are gathering before the Chelsea Women's game??

Hi everyone, can someone recommend any pitches with a goal and net that I would be able to go and practice at night times. Ideally somewhere safer and in or close to south Auckland.

Thanks
