    Ugh—I am 50 years old and going to show my age here.
    I detest this commodification and fetishized approach to my/our team. How I am going to explain Isak and Bruno were moved on based on this...

    Love to see some competition and cup spells for Dubravka but to question Pope, who last year had sub 1 goals against average, has 50% penalty shot rate, had 14 (?) clean sheets last year and 4...

    I hope we give the bench a run out. Targett, Tino, Dubravka, Dummett, etc. Tough decisions need to be made based on personnel available. Bigger games/competitions ahead.

    It is a very fair point. But he isn’t a child. He knows the rules and the consequences. I am pulling for him and for us. But after Toney, I fear, if guilty, the punishment handed down will set a...

    Just read a report that Tonal’s agent has said he is a gambling addict and wouldn’t comment on whether he gambled on football.
    Surely there is a breach clause and we can recoup some of the money...

    Ooohhh, that was good one….
    I came in hot to tear in on this one.
    8 by 8–surely a record????
    Settled 4 in the back plus Pope and that score makes us very tough to beat.
    This game reminds us—we...

    Funny about Anderson for me as well but I played and coach a lot of hockey and youth soccer—there are those players who just have the presence to be in the right place at the right time and it makes...

    Correct team for me. Joelinton is my guy but he hasn’t looked his fierce heat this year. Barnes opposite Gordon is a great test for Brentford’s defense. We can Allie them to run with our squeaky...

    Sure. Everyone could do better always. Top shelf strikes. Wrong footed by a ridiculous bounce on the second.

    As others have said prior, Jo looked meek. I think the yellow cards put the zap on each earner’s head. And, most of them were fouls you can’t give up if you want to beat the best.

    Where’s Willock?

    Does he have an injury he’s nursing?
    Would have liked to see him get some time with the first team.

    I grew up St. Louis and then Chicago—Philly feels like their moniker in comparison,

    I got to meet Dan Burn and Jacob Murphy. So gracious. I thanked them for last year. And for that Murphy goal...

    Yep, first time. Need my boys to appreciate a trip to St. James park—to young.

    I can’t believe the count of Brighton fans here!?!?!
  16. Anyone Know Where They Are Staying?

    Late ask on the odd chance—anybody know where they are staying/lodging in Philly? Clearly Chelsea is at the Four Seasons.

    26 years and I will see them in person tomorrow.

    Thanks on the odd...

    I am not normally prone to overly positive or negative thinking.
    We are 4th.
    Barring a poor touch by Willock and an absolutely stunning strike by Paqueta, we win that game. And we looked poor...

    Maybe. But given Jo’s remarkable turnaround, I wouldn’t tinker there yet either. Wilson I’d the weakest link and gets the swap. If we are still struggling to get two goals a game, only then would...

    Isak absolutely gets the starts for me going forward but I frankly love our world class defensive record atm and I don’t think The Saint provides enough going forward to make up for what he could...

    Further proof of near perfect defense. That great reaction save Pope, was that their first SOG, was the one miscue.
    That said, we need like commitment coached up front for me. It isn’t just a...

    Defensive Dominance

    Is this the best back 4 we’ve ever had? As a unit, I can’t think of another that even comes close. I never think on a counter—oh f***. They just deal with it. I will trust my memory here but in...

    Hockey is on equal footing for me with football. Flows like football. Physical like football once was. Space and defense matter.

    Rugby as well.

    At this point, I would watch any live sports...
