The Wildcard’s Premier League Predictions - Week 32
The title race lives on, there's a pulse and everything thanks to that crazy Spurs comeback. Chelsea can hear the footsteps creeping up. They couldn’t… could they? Nah probably not.
Let the Great Arsenal Rebuild of 2017 Begin! (Wenger or No Wenger)
Wenger is too careful to burn the place down just to stay warm in the meantime but he also doesn’t have to worry about building for someone else’s future. Stay humble here, Arsenal fans, but we could be about to see one of those drastic squad overhauls…
Flying Kiwis – April 4
Right now this week’s Chris Wood goal came… oh no wait… he didn’t score. Huh. That’s strange. Just the 17th game of the Championship season that he hasn't found the net in, Ol' Woody.
#WellyNix: Late Season Heroics vs Future Uncertainty
Playing from a position where anything other than a win would effectively (if not officially) eliminate them, the Nix have scored eight goals and conceded a grand total of zilch. 8-0 in their last 180 combined minutes.
The Wildcard’s Premier League Predictions - Week 30
The corner has been rounded, the season is headed towards its ferocious conclusion. Hey and a Merseyside Derby ain’t the worst way to signal that final direction either.
All Whites 2-0 Fiji: Same Score, Different Story
A much better performance, you reckon? A better style of footy, better goals? Sure… but the score-line was exactly the same.
#WellyNix – No All Whites, No Problems… Which Adds To Some Selection Dramas
Yeah alright then, who saw that coming? Doesn’t even matter how many international dudes are missing, every extra fella that skips off they score another goal.
All Whites 2-0 Fiji: Business Over Pleasure, No Worries There
Hudson’s Heroes did what they had to do and now we move on to the next game. One game at a time, taking care of business, etc.
#WellyNix – The Precarious Playoff Picture
It’s pretty much over, we all know that. If the Nix were gonna save this thing then they really needed somehow not to lose to Western Sydney Wanderers on the weekend.
Flying Kiwis – March 21
Souleymane Doukara cut inside towards the box and Fikayo Tomori made a super sloppy challenge which led to the referee's whistle sounding loudly. Chris Wood smashed it down the middle from the penalty spot for his second goal.
Pep Guardiola’s Still In The Middle Of A Manchester City Overhaul
Oh so you thought that Pep Guardiola was just gonna waltz on in and immediately win everything with Manchester City?
The Wildcard’s Premier League Predictions - Week 29
When Hack-A-Hazard doesn't work, you move on to plan... F. Hey but at least Jose Mourinho sticks to his grudges, unlike Tony Pulis and Arsene Wenger, who are planning a trip to Ibiza.
Flying Kiwis – March 14
Despite going off injured last week, Winston Reid only had a dose of cramp and was good to go against Bournemouth... where the defence was terrible and they leaked three. But he might be getting a pay-rise.
Analysing This All Whites Squad for the World Cup Qualifiers vs Fiji
Word on the street is that this is the All Whites’ strongest possible squad here. At least that’s what the tweet said. Two games against Fiji later this month, one home and one away and victory in at least one of those should all but get them into the OFC qualifying final for the 2018 World Cup.
Running Down The Footy Ferns At The 2017 Cyprus Cup
The lead in to the tournament may have been dominated by Abby Erceg and when a legend retires you generally wanna send them off with the best possible results but the Football Ferns squad for the 2017 Cyprus Cup always suggested a firm eye towards the future.
Chelsea Are Gonna Win The Premier League, But We’re Still In For A Fascinating Finish
You don’t need to worry about the Premier League title. If there was any chance that Chelsea might slip up after losing to Spurs in the New Year, it’s since been cast away as Antonio Conte’s lads immediately regained their stride.
Flying Kiwis – March 7
Chris Wood is now legitimately doing some incredible things but he ain't the only kiwi out there gunning away. In fact with the American stuff kicking off and Sam Brotherton making his bow for Sunderland the list is only getting longer.
Flying Kiwis – Chris Wood is on Fire
It had been a pretty dull first thirteen minutes for Chris Wood. Birmingham had completely dominated this game from the opening whistle and it’s hard to remember Wood even having a touch of the ball as he toiled thanklessly up top.
The Wildcard’s Premier League Predictions - Week 27
Leicester City might be good again? Snakes! The whole bloody lot of ya, nothing but snakes!
Flying Kiwis – February 28
Two moments defined Leeds’ Yorkshire derby against Sheffield Wednesday early on Sunday morning. One of them sent Chris Wood to the top of the Champo scoring charts.
