I'm loving DeLeon. Cruz played awesome too. It makes me wonder where they are going to stick Najar when he comes back.

I'm planning on going to next week's game too. The only thing that could derail that plan is family that is visiting from India who I haven't seen in years (my Aunt married and Indian guy and they moved to India)

Yea Najar and Pontius both have some competition now.

Well you know we will be there so hit us up if you plan to go!

I'm going to do everything I can to make time to visit and go to the game.

The game isn't televised which makes me want to go even more

Yep. Still a big VW logo in the middle of the jersey

Ren/Boysetsfire, do you think Willis should keep the starting job? Or do you think Hamid should get it back when he's healthy?

I thought the Liverpool fans here might enjoy this. Despite being Manchester United I can appreciate the tradition of the song not to mention the Celtic Woman being awesome.(I guess its because I wasn't born into the hate of Liverpool being American and all lol)

Congrats Utd on a 20th title. Heck of an achievement.

*See, I can be magnanimous and gracious.

Hail.

I thank you sir. Its definitely nice to see this when we're getting the Scum United and stuff from others. Amazing how this team came together after all the rough patches and such. I tell ya though things will be getting tougher next year just looking at the league this year. I wonder about Liverpool after how things went down this year.

Edit: Fulham's Dempsey just scored to tie against Chelsea. Always nice seeing our American players score

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

Meh, this leagues not strong at all. And I mean that as no slight as you can only beat what's in front of you. And Utd yet again have done that in style when it matters most.

Outside of Utd and City, with the obscene amount of cash they have behind them, there is no serious challenge. Chelsea are an ageing mess in need of a serious overhaul. Arsenal will continue to flatter to deceive so long as Wenger refuses to change the way he does things. Admirable, and the best team to watch bar none on their day. But a club like Arsenal needs silverware. And 'Spurs will always be 'Spurs. They'll continue to **** up when you least expect it and fall a ways short. As for Liverpool ..... I'll leave that before I go into a rant. Let's just say the potentials there for a domestic cup double this year, yet L'pool have regressed badly the longer the years gone on. We're as far away from even challenging for the league as at any time in the last 22 years since #18.

Frustratingly, as I don't think this is a particularly strong squad for a Ferguson squad; Utd will have little outside their neighbours to worry about next year.

Seeing as you mentioned him, here's the best of his two strikes from Saturday at Bolton:

I'll be up next Wednesday for the DCU-MTL game with some friends. Can't wait.

[Skinz4Life12]

Yea I wish I could go to that game. Ren/Boysetsfire and I stayed dry at the game on Saturday. I think the beer will be flying over the next two games.

I can't wait until my next midterms are over so I can go to another game. Probably gonna go to the houston dynamo game on the 28th

You should come to a Saturday or Sunday game and tailgate with us. Only no talk of the CAA if skinz4life is present

Yea that was such a bummer. Especially with such a great supporters crowd that night.

I'm done with the CAA for now. Then again the way things are sounding GMU and VCU could be done with them for good pretty soon.

Right now I work a lot of weekends. However, I'm leaving that job very soon so then I'll be able to make some weekend games. Usually my weekend soccer games are Kicker games since I usually make it out of work in time for their games. In the past I would take off certain Saturdays/Sundays to come up.

Rovers are doomed. Doomed.

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

Well, Wolves have been down for weeks. So I guess your looking at 2 from 4. Wigan have found some form from somewhere, and if that momentum continues then it'll go right to the last day between Blackburn, Bolton and QPR.

Terrible night for Blackburn last night. They won't get many better chances to get all 3 points. To come away with nothing was disastrous.

I'd like to think it will give L'pool a confidence boost for the weekend. But still travelling to London more in hope than expectation, as I fear a blue ***** win.

Hail.
