They Think It's All Over... is well and truly pissed that the referee denied Wellington Phoenix a
win against Adelaide, but can draw some consolation from the performance of the Kiwi side.

Round 4 of the Hyundai A-League wrapped up yesterday, with the round producing some mixed and
surprising results.
Adelaide United vs North Queensland Fury
Hindmarsh Stadium 10,733
3-3
10,733 people braved the rain, and the majority watched in horror as North Queensland went ahead
first after Robbie Fowler timed a run perfectly to score off a James Robinson wonder-cross, to the
delight of the captain.

Adelaide v Gold Coast United, Friday night.
Should be a cracker and a great test for both teams.
I'm expecting a fast-paced game with the Gold Coast forced onto the back foot in front of the
Hindmarsh faithful.
But will Jason Culina, Shane Smeltz and Joel Porter pounce again.

Robbie Fowler got off the mark on his A-League debut last weekend, although his North Queensland
Fury fell to a 3-2 home defeat against Sydney FC. Fowler, formerly of Liverpool and made club
captain, converted a penalty after an hour to level the scores at 2-2. However, former Portsmouth
man John Aloisi scored a winner [.

We're only an hour or so away from the first match of A-League ver. 5 and already it's promising to
be a cracker of a year!
Two new teams in Gold Coast United and North Queensland Fury, new and "unique" kit designs, a host
of new faces from local and abroad, ex-socceroos and marquee talent the likes of Robbie Fowler,
Jason Culina, Mile Sterjovski, Chris Coyne, Jacob Burns etc.

An update on matters here at Les Rosbifs. Transfer Gossip: In amongst all the megabucks deals for
Kaka, Gareth Barry and, um, Nathan Dyer, there have been plenty of rumours flying about too. One of
interest to Les Rosbifs is the possibility of Byron Webster, currently of FK Most in the Czech
Republic, moving back to the [.

I know it's a little delayed and by now everybody knows that Melbourne Victory beat Adelaide United
1 – 0 in front of a near capacity 53, 273 fans at the Telstra Dome Etihad Stadium... but I
thought I'd post it anyway. It was a little disappointing to see that the red-cards dished out in
the match grabbed more headlines than the actual win itself, but never the less it was a win and
Melbourne successfully completed the Pre-season Cup, Premiership and Grand Final treble.

On Saturday night, in front of a packed house of over 53,000 at the Dome formerly known as Telstra,
the Melbourne Victory became the first club in A-League history to win the Grand Final twice and to
win all three trophies in a single season (Pre-Season Cup, Premiers and Grand Final Champions). It
was far from [.

Sugar coat it any way you like, it's still not going to make Adelaide United play any better or
bring a trophy to South Australia... 5 games this season alone have proven that! Unfortunately I
won't be watching this match (I know, tell me about it!)... instead, I've got a dirty weekend*
planned in a remote corner of some dessert.

Call me crazy, but I think the only thing that could undo the Melbourne Victory tomorrow night is
complacency. Melbourne faltered at times during season 4 of the A-League - especially against teams
propping up the ladder. For the latter half of the season, this became the pattern: solid wins
against top of the table sides, [.

Adelaide put some demons to rest on Saturday night as it beat Queensland Roar 1-0. Disappointing
for Queensland fans, and a surprising finish for many who wrote off Adelaide after the hiding in
Melbourne and Aurelio Vidmar's rant. Adelaide now get a chance for redemption. I thought I'd take
the occasion to compile a bunch of [.

I have to admit, I'm bloody surprised that Adelaide were able to pull this result out of their
arses, especially after the week they just had... and especially cause Fabian Barbiero drilled home
the winner. Queensland Roar were clearly the better team on the night dominating play, possession
and oportunities but failed miserbly every time to convert.

Adelaide United will want to put the last fortnight behind them, most notably the 6-0 aggregate
romping they were given by Melbourne and especially the much publicised and scrutinised outbursts
by their coach Aurelio Vidmar.
Queensland Roar on the other hand are quietly sitting back like a vindictive teenage girl planning
on how to make her cheating ex-boyfriends year even more humiliating than it has been and stomping
on his nuts while he's down and out too.

If you thought Adelaide's season couldn't get any worse, you either need to watch the highlights
below or think again! They must have seriously pissed off some afterlife gods or some shit cause
the nightmare only seems to continue. It wasn't enough that they were punished 5-0 on aggregate
against Gamba Osaka in the ACL finals, they missed out on the Premiers plate to Melbourne by a
point, got drilled in the two legged major semi-final 6-0 and now their coach Aurelio Vidmar has
spilt the beans on in-fighting and.

Another embarrassing thrashing of Adelaide United in a finals series, another coach's outburst. No
evil forces conspiring, just the city of Adelaide, a "piss-ant" according to Aurelio
Vidmar. After Vidmar's hissy-fit, it's hard to see how Adelaide are going to regroup for their
semi-final against the Queensland Roar, who put the Central Coast Mariners away 4-1 [.

although he didn't name any names, it was very clear he wasn't happy with what was going on behind

Archie Thompson knows a thing or two... or 5 about finals football yet even though this isn't the
actual final, the Victory are pretty sure they have one foot in it already... and possibly one hand
on the prize too.
As it stands so far, Adelaide have only manged to score 2 goals in four matches against the Victory
this year and well they're currently down 2-0 on aggregate going into this all important decider,
so much like the ACL final, this match is not really about if they can win the game, it's about how
many goals they'll try not to concede!

If statistics are anything to go by, things aren't looking good for Adelaide United. They haven't
beaten Melbourne since the Pre-Season Cup. Melbourne has won all of its last 6 games at home. And
Adelaide has a 2 goal deficit to make up for; meaning, in short, that it must score at least three
times [.

And so it begins. The Queensland Roar got the ball rolling last night with an all-important 2-0

That may, as Kevin Muscat suggests, give us a [.
