I can't watch the game, but the stats seem to suggest Wellington are all over United?

I'm only checking scores on-line. Wellington have had 55% of the ball so far.

Still 0 - 0, almost at half time.

Wellington been very good and look to have a steely resolve .. United looking dangerous on the counter though.

Problem for United is that Serg looks well out of touch.

Who says low-scoring soccer/football matches are boring?? That was excellent .. Wellington mega brave, nothing but admiration for them after that effort

Hard fought win. Phoenix pumped us for first half hour, we hardly went past center. Started to play better at end of half. Real arm wrestle in second half, game opened up after we scored and we had several really good chances to finish it. Got soaked at game

Tough game and Wellington were very good tonight. It took a brilliant goal to win the game. The flick while on the ground by Flores was amazing.

I thoubht it was a pretty good game, crowd and atmosphere (considering the conditions).

Dodd is as good as gone and will be a loss, why Pantelis even came on I have no idea? Looked very ordinary and won't be in a Reds shirt next year. Should've given Ramsay some game time, even if it was Pantelis's 100th A-League game.

Must agree with pantelis, not a fan of him. His pace was his biggest assest and due to injury and age his pace has dropped off a fair bit. Very average skill and would be very suprised if he was on our list next year.

Excellent to see united get another finals win after losing far too many. Dodd might be about to ride off into the sunset (the sun does set in the West.........) but been a good servant to the club over a long time.

I do really like where the club are right now. Coolen doesn't seem to want to get into politics (like Aurelio) or make enemies at every turn (Kosmina) and seems to have a serious knowledge of the game, something probably lacking a tad in the Australian game.

I get this feeling that Flores won't be in a reds short much longer. But I really hope I'm wrong. Everything that happens for us seems to be a result of Flores doing something. And half the time the guys playing with him don't seem to be able to capitalise on his creativity. Give him some more time (2-3 years?) to get a partnership with a couple of guys up there we might really see some flair.
