    I love seeing City lose. But, it's a shame to see the change in Cardiff from the Bluebirds to the red kind.

    The environment last night in Seattle was spectacular.

    Second highest attendance at an MLS regular season (or stand alone) match, ever. It was actually the third highest attendance across the world for a soccer match on the weekend too!

    It's not like United played that much more attacking. Most of your possession was in your own third or around mid field. Chelsea actually looked more dangerous for large stretches of the game, AWAY at Old Trafford. Jose is doing exactly what he did when he was here last, draw the top 4 away, win at home. So far, so good.


    Top of the table with an extra game is fine with me when you consider that we just drew @ united and City lost away. I like where we are.

    It's a bigger deal where I come from (then it should be) because my coach was a United fan, and anytime united was top of the table he got to put his stupid little united ball on top of our game film TV. It pissed me off to no end, so anytime ANYBODY but united is top, I'm happy. :)
  • Automatik
    Haha I'm just giving you shit.

    If Arsenal was at the top I'd be be letting everyone know. :(

    It's hard to get shots on goal when there's a bus parked in front. And...having ONE more shot on goal isn't really much to brag about.

    I think seeing NO forwards [declared] in the game show there was a defensive emphasis.

    Funny huh? Have to tout something to catch up to the Glory of Manchester United. :)

    You can say all you want, but anybody who is looking at it from an unbias perspective sees 0-0 @ Old Trafford and calls its a Chelsea +++

    Oh, no doubt it was a good result from Chelsea. Not saying otherwise. But I also know they parked the bus. And, I also know that top of the table (in August) with basically every other team having a game in hand means absolutely nothing.

    But, Manchester United was top of the table too...20 times! :)

    WCQ Roster is released. Landon back on the team!

    http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1537755/united-states-inludes-john-brooks-aron-johannsson-wcq-roster?cc=5901

    Sounds like Klinsy wants the 3 points, and, I assume, Clint, Landon and Jozy will all be in the line-up which would make it tough to play for a draw. 3 very offensive minded players. I like it!

    I agree. He wont start, but I wonder if we see him in this game?

    I would be shocked if we don't. I dunno...I just think Jurgen wants to continue to see him. I haven't checked recently, but at the start of the season, Aron had 5 goals in 5 games for AZ.
