Deuce

Did anyone actually expect us to go into Upton and win? I think most of us were expecting another loss, especially considering our away form this season. Would've been nice to continue the first-half form through the entirety of the game, but at the end of the day, we got an away point and kept a clean sheet. Any other time in the season and we'd be satisfied with this result.

Nah we'll be fine. It'll be a clusterfuck to the finish, but we'll survive.

Horrific substitutions as always, but credit the man for putting out a solid starting XI. First half was the best I've seen this team play in weeks.

Lambert's changes are finally paying off the past few weeks. Villa's been playing some nice football.

Well that's our lead cut to 3.

Pardew is such a coward. West Ham has a good run, forces some nice saves, and Pardew gets scared.

Shola for HBA. Unbelievable.

Looks composed today. Good to see.

What we do with FK's make this contribution time wasting. Fair point.

Poor Bolton. So close this season, but Leicester snuck-in for the 6th spot.

If Jonas played for anyone else, I would despise him for his antics. As it stands, he does win us quite a few free kicks...

Pardew to play for the draw now.

Pleasantly surprised by the line-up today. Pardew trying to evoke as much of last season's success as he can.

Big controversy in the U.S.-Canada women's semi-final at the Olympics last summer when that call was made against Canada.

Nah, it's the transfer thread...we can wax lyrical. Here is where dreams are made and shattered.

Would be a great signing particularly if we go 4-4-2 next season.

Orlando and Cosmos will be the next two. I'm not sure in which order, but both will ascend in the next two seasons. And I could see future expansions in Atlanta, Carolina, Sacramento, and Pittsburgh.

I don't think so. He's looked good since he returned. At this point he just needs games, which he's not gonna get with the season ending so soon. Considering the hot-and-cold nature of the U.S. midfield, I don't think it can hurt to trot him out for the qualifiers and Gold Cup.

Rather he stay in MLS than jump south of the border in that case!

Really considering splurging to get this top. Looks fantastic up close and in person. All you'd have to do is make this in black and white stripes and you'd easily have the best NUFC kit in years.

Interestingly, he's only on loan this season. As much as I love having players of his caliber in the league, it is nice to see them "graduate" to Europe. Some kind of vindication for MLS. Hope he makes a move at some point.
