This is older news by now but I am super pumped for Nate getting this role. He has been the brains behind Landon for a few years now. Nate used to be the head coach for the small NAIA college that is in my hometown. I interned there when I was attending a different college in their athletic department and kept the stats for Nate's team. He was so nice and really just a great dude. Gave me some older jerseys and scarf they had for free when I left. I have kept track of him ever since, he coached the Lansing Ignite for one season before they folded up and has had a ton of success everywhere he goes. They are definitely my USL Championship West team.

 

Playing charades with Mikel. Not sure if this sounds great or awful.

 

Dude is finished. Wow.

 

Yup. Good news for Loyal. Landon hasn’t been shy in saying that Nate was the brains. I like it as a supporter because there’s a level of continuity with the move. There’s a small subset of supporters that think LD is gonna be the manager of USMNT in 2026

 

Palmer, young lad, you have to bury that.

 

Haaland's back bby.

 

It's like he never left.

 

he is my favorite and I sure hope not

 

He's a good player manager but when your main assistant is known publicly as the "tactics and training guy" not sure I want him as the USMNT manager.

 

God the Sky commentators really try so hard to push their narrative despite what’s being shown live on telly.

 

Pep 2026

 

This cup match feels like a Community Shield match.

 

Considering Arsenal play on Monday, I genuinely feel like I couldn’t give a shit. I’m still in World Cup mode.

 

Forster starting for Hugo. Sanchez starting for Romero. But it looks like Kane and Perisic will both start Monday. Things should be back to normal the following game though.

The worst news is that Richarlison is going to miss 3-4 weeks with an injury.

 

Interesting reports we're spending heavily this January.

With Smith Rowe coming back, plus the possible signing of Mudryk, we could be pretty stacked out wide. Hopefully we can get another forward, whoever that might be, to deputise for Jesus and cover whilst he is out. The Joao Felix rumours also aren't going away.

Seen rumours of:
Mudryk
Joao Felix
Kudus
Milinkovic-Savic

 

I hope you get none of them!

 

What the actual fuck

 

That’s fucked

 

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it in this thread.

I know it's not always a positive time of year for people so if you find yourself suffering over this period, quote me and I'll come have a chat with you.

 

Merry Christmas!

 

Merry Christmas everyone! Whether you celebrate or not, I hope you all have a great day!

 

Because I didn’t say it earlier in the week, Happy Hanukkah to you all!

 

Merry Christmas all who celebrate. Happy Hanukkah @Garrett (still slightly shocked at that for some bizarre reason hahah)

 

“but you listen to Norma Jean” pops into my head all the time now as my favorite reason for someone to not be Jewish
