Deuce

Definitely wasn’t a sexy signing at the time, but successful Premier League teams are filled with no nonsense, solid performers like Big Dan. And he’s been even better than I would’ve expected.

Marsch is a smart guy and a good manager…he’s no PFM. He left NYRB, after leading them to the top of the MLS table, to take a job as Rangnick’s assistant at Leipzig and learn the “Red Bull way.” Won the double in both seasons at Salzburg. Didn’t work out for him at Leipzig, but he inherited a squad not really suited to his style of play either (and one that had lost Upamecano, Sabitzer, and Konate too). Stylistically, he’s a much better fit at Leeds. Remains to be seen if he’ll be able to keep them up, but they could do a lot worse than him in the Champo next season.

fucking who

Great get for MLS. He’s a great player and will be a force as long as he can be arsed.

let’s kill these bitches

he’s gonna be so fucking good.

Given his hilarious inability to finish, you know he’s bang on to turn around and strike an absolute thunderbastard from 40 yards at some point.

This was for Rafa. The North remembers.

Only able to catch the highlights, but the crowd sounded immense. Loudest I think I’ve heard it for a long time. Must’ve been class to be there

Checked ESPN for the starting XI, saw Bruno on the bench, knew immediately this place would be having fits.

some of you are so precious.

Rich is a true mensch, I’ve always said so.

MODS (excluding Mike, who is a man of the common folk) ARE ASLEEP, GET THIS TO 1001 PAGES

The gods mock us

gonna get us killed down the left flank

He’s probably the easiest hire ever because he demands nothing of a club looking to hire him. His footballing “philosophy,” such that it is, is uncomplicated, he speaks in empty platitudes, and he doesn’t come with too many financial demands. If you’re an empty suit without a shred of a footballing brain working for a lazy club completely uninterested in anything but mediocrity, he’s a delight to interview and hire.

Two Honduras players had to be treated for hypothermia. Stupid decision playing this game in Minneapolis in February. Could’ve played a cold weather game somewhere that wasn’t THAT fucking cold.
