Notoriously superstitious Phoenix coach Giancarlo doesn't even want to look at the A-League's Premier's Plate, which has arrived in Wellington. 

It's there in case the Nix end their regular season on top after tomorrow's home game against Macarthur F.C. 

Italiano says he won't be looking at the silverware and he doesn't want his players to see it either, saying it's "bad luck" and "almost like kryptonite" to him. 

Wellington Nix midfielder Ben Old joined D'Arcy Waldegrave to preview the clash.
