Join Patrick, Cam, Dave and Andy as they discuss Wellington Phoenix FC's plight in the Hyundai A-League, as well as everything in New Zealand football.
The pod reminisce about 5 years of podcasting in their final ever episode, talk about their favourite Phoenix and All Whites moments of that time, tell stories of 'fun' incidents in Auckland and sign off in the final episode of Phoenix City.
The Phoenix take on Sydney FC in both of the A-Leagues and come out of it with 0 points, which of the sides performed better? An FFA Cup win against Avondale sets up an unlikely quarterfinal against Melbourne City. Note: Recorded on December 22.
The Phoenix Women debut in style, unlucky to not pull off a win against WSW. The Men faced up to a VAR who decided to focus in on one thing and not Tomer Hemed - did it make all the difference to the final scoreline?Note: Frostie's audio quality is not great again this week, we're working on a solution for future recordings.
The Phoenix Men pick up their first win of the season despite some penalty disagreements, and they take part in a Phoenix vs WSW double-header this weekend with the Women playing their first ever match. The pod crew look over the Women's squad and discuss what the hopes for the team are this season.
It's the dawn of a new season in Wollongong, with the Phoenix Mens' team getting underway with a 1-1 draw against Macarthur, and the Womens' team preparing for their first match. The pod cast their eye over the squad changes to the Mens' team, and wrap up all the action from the opening weekend of football.
The Phoenix finally have a team in the W-League, and Ella Reilly re-joins the podcast to discuss all the future benefits that this will have for football in New Zealand. Meanwhile, with the Australia situation continuing to deteriorate, will we get to watch any football this season?
The pod cast their eye over the season as a whole - is it really a bad thing that the Nix didn't make the playoffs? Every member of the squad is reviewed, have they all done enough to earn a contract for next season?
After Patrick forgets to record the first five minutes of the podcast, the team look back at a the 3-0 win over Macarthur to round out the 2021 season, and go on many tangents about Phoenix and A-League related nonsense.
Recorded before the Phoenix were knocked out of playoff contention, the pod review the frustrating draw in Auckland against Perth, go over the potential ways the Phoenix could make it into the playoffs, and wonder if the VAR will ever award the Nix a penalty.
The Phoenix make a triumphant return to Wellington against the Snakes, and hold on for a nailbiting win against WSW. Can they knock a third team out of finals contention in a row this weekend at Eden Park?
A two man pod reviews the 4-3 loss to WSW, did the VAR really get the decisions wrong or were the Nix just hamstrung by the process itself? It's the final ISPS Handa Premiership grand final, can Team Wellington pull off a win against Auckland City when it counts?
After sitting in the editing room for a few weeks, this episode has finally made it out into the world. Reviewing the 1-0 loss to Melbourne Victory and the 2-0 win over the Jets.
The Phoenix notch up a fifth point for the season against the Wanderers, will the replacement players keep their positions for the midweek Victory game? Team Wellington all but confirm second place on the table, and can Waitakere keep Eastern Suburbs out of the semifinals?
The Phoenix put in a lacklustre performance against Sydney FC, although the Mexican faithful got what they were after. Will it be déjà vu against CCM and a second win of the season? Auckland City pretty much lock in top spot in the Premiership with a win over Team Wellington.
The Phoenix pull off an unlikely first win of the season against the Mariners - but will they be able to repeat the feat against Sydney FC? Some questionable refereeing causes a massive scoreline in the Handy Prem.
The pod dial Phoenix head coack Ufuk Talay in for a chat about how life in Woolongong is tracking, the performances so far and the game against CCM. Meanwhile, the TeeDubs pop back onto the top of the table after a Wel Clasico victory.
Wellington Phoenix GM David Dome joins the pod this week to chat about setting up a new base in Woolongong and the difficulties in doing so, the red card appeals process and the A-League season so far. Elsewhere, Auckland City jump over TeeDubs into top spot in the Men's ISPS Handa Prem.
A red card overshadows the Phoenix's draw with Macarthur, do we think the process to appeal it was fair? The Nix have a couple of weeks off now, so we look to the Men's Handy Prem to get our football fix until then, where ACFC has just overtaken the TeeDubs in top spot.

The Phoenix stutter against WSW with some interesting refereeing decisions, but a quick turnaround before the next match against Brisbane gives the team a chance to bounce back. Tony Rradings steps aside, leaving the Men's U20 coaching role vacant - will we see a familiar face return?

The Phoenix pick up a win and a draw in matches against Perth and Adelaide, but could Ufuk have earned all three points if he didn't rotate the squad against Adelaide? The schedule settles down a little bit for the Phoenix now, as we look ahead to the next match against WSW.

The season is back underway, and thanks to the VAR being axed for the rest of the season, the Nix went down 3-1 to Sydney. Will they fare any better against Perth or Adelaide, and will the All Whites actually face Belgium?
