Deuce

Brazil U-17 squad, down 4-1, quits after their second sending off. Incident from 1:48:00 or so...

D.C. keeps adding, picked-up Fabian Espindola and Nana Attakora in the 2nd round of the re-entry draft. Espindola's a good player, though they'll need to get him for the right price. Seattle took Chad Barrett and Corey Hertzog. DeRo heads back to Toronto.

Would you rather them win the cup and face the drop or bow out over the next 2 rounds and stay up?

I really can't see it. They've gotten lucky to this point and they've got to get through 2 more squads yet. Though it would be funny to see them reach the final only to fail in some spectacular fashion. And then get hammered into relegation. Such a nothing team from a nothing place.

Some people are so fucking thick. And we say the nutters on RTG are obsessed with us......couldn't give a shit who they get. Hopefully Altidore will bag a couple who ever it is We can always hope marra.

Raja Casablanca upended Atletico Mineiro, will face Bayern in the Club World Cup final.

Noticed the Remy thread has been shit hot today. Breaking news? Charged with rape? Full transfer agreed? Nah.

Regardless of the outcome, someone's bound to be unhappy.

Loads of cap space freed up from dropping DeRo and the like. Plus loads of allocation money from a) Being shit and missing the playoffs and b) Winning the U.S. Open Cup.

f***ing 'journalism' man. His last story is that Alex Ferguson was on the Spurs shortlist for temporary manager Sorry, who? He's only been out of football 6 months man!

D.C. trades for EJ. Finally get the CF we need. No more of this Lionard Pajoy bullshit.

Browsing his Twitter, seems to be the rare type who blows smoke up his own ass.

Could have a Wigan situation on our hands here. Probably not, Wigan last year were a better squad than this.

Better movement from him than Altidore Don't let Deuce see that. Keep on WUMin'...

Newcastle went francophone before it was cool.

Great little town, St. Augustine. Have fun.

Yep, my memory is awful. If you picked a game earlier on this season I probably won't remember who scored let alone who was officiating a game a couple of years ago Same, I'm hopeless at remembering details like that. Some would say my opinions reflect that. I find comments like "That goal scored by Player X against Team Y in the 33rd minute of that match 3 years ago" simultaneously obnoxious and impressive. Unless it's a particularly memorable goal or match (i.e. Cisse's 40-yard, outside-of-the-foot looper against Chelsea), I can't be bothered. Fair play to those who catalog our matches in such detail.

Nice tactical analysis from Zonal Marking: http://www.zonalmarking.net/2013/12/08/manchester-united-0-1-newcastle-united-pardew-beefs-up-his-midfield-and-newcastle-dominate-possession/

Swapped Aguero and Morrison for Rooney and Cabaye.

You may not like the system (I certainly don't), but it's the law of the land. Play the game until the game changes.

Yeah I think we'll win this. 1-2.
