If our only hypothetical choices going into next year were Giggs and LvG, I'd choose Giggs.

 

Seattle looking like shit, again.

 

I don't think any team will ever be as fortunate as Seattle was weather wise with a 3:00 kickoff in Houston

70's, cloudy, breezy. Not typical.

 

thankyoubasedmarshall

 

I'm absolutely speechless. Pitiful. This can not keep happening.

 

No longer speechless. Fucking livid. Absolutely no excuse and it's an insult to our fans for this team to have conceded 93rd minute equalizers in two of their first three home games. (Not to mention an 85th minute goal against NYRB to blow a lead.)

We have one fluke 5-0 win. We should have two more, but this team is incompetent. Play until the final whistle, good lord.

 

Now that I'm so cranky I'll complete my triple post by saying fuck Yankee Stadium

 

Yankee stadium sucks for soccer, but all the seats have nice cushioning

 

LAG are not good

 

It seems like after 20+ years we have our first MLS season with no good teams

 

That OG from Borchers.. Diving header, too.

 

Iconic. But has nothing on the one from the Texan derby from the other week.

 

De Jong is still a shitbag I see.

 

To absolutely no one's surprise, De Jong indeed proves himself to be despicable.

 

Fox Sports putting Mike Magee in a weird spot with this interview.

 

Did they ask him directly about the tackle?

 

Nigel De Jong is the type of player that needs to go away. He's bad for the sport.

 

He is trash. I remember watching him break Hatem Ben Arfa's leg. You could see the challenge was filth and you could hear his leg break on the tv cameras. I don't think the referee even gave a free kick for it.

 

I've woken up today with the realisation that Leicester are actually going to do it. They're going to win the Premier League. They got promoted two seasons ago. They were bottom of the league last year until the final 5 games. And now they're going to win it.

Chelsea are mid table. Liverpool are mid table. United are currently Europa League. City and my beloved Arsenal both could and should have won it and have fucked it up and will finish 2nd/3rd/4th, and Spurs have had their best season in living memory but even they couldn't win it.

This is absolute madness and I feel bad for anyone who started watching this year because you just will never understand how absolutely crazy this is.

 

Arsenal must be the only team in the world who can lose 2-1 while the opposition only had one shot on target.

Such an Arsenal season.

 

Yes they did. Actually worth seeking out and watching just for the pure awkwardness.

 

Legend.

 

I'm surprised Mark Hughes hasn't been talked about for the United job. I think he could do very well.

And man, Rafinha being injured all the time is worrying hopefully we can have more than 15ish players next season.

 

Mark Hughes is not good enough to be Man United manager. That would end up like Moyes. Also the City connection. It will never happen for good reason.

 

Couldn't be any worse than Giggs.
