Bring back the Flames.

Watcing the last minutes of the Liverpool rerun. Great game. I like West Ham, physical but fair, no diving queens and no yapping to the ref.

Joe Cole and Glen Johnson does not raise their arms when they score in respect of their old fans, in their old arena. That is ****ing old-school class, instead of this imbecile taking of your shirt ****.

RVP didn't dare celebrate scoring against Arsenal either, and he wasn't even in the Emirates Stadium.

Bring back the Flames.

That would be an interesting rivalry with the Fire

Atlanta is pushing for an MLS team and their logo is a Silverback Gorilla. That's not asking for racist jokes or anything.

The logo is a gorilla, but what is the proposed team name? It might be innocuous, it might be a bad idea.

 

[DatBoyJPP]

Silverbacks. Apparently the Atlanta zoo just got some or something. Not exactly anything creative.

Rafa Marquez is no longer a Red Bull!!!

Santa does exist.

Santa does exist.

Did he get all his money though...because he didn't deserve any of it.

 

[Basement Cat]

I dont care. Red Bull has enough money. I just care that hes out of the locker room and off the cap

 

[JerseyGuy276]

I dont care. Red Bull has enough money. I just care that hes out of the locker room and off the cap

So, who becomes the DP to replace him

 

[Basement Cat]

There's been talk of Junihno from Vasco or Kaka

I honestly wouldn't mind them waiting til the summer before signing one. Get some more depth in the midfield especially on the wings.

Well see tho

 

[DatBoyJPP]

Don't expect a 3rd DP anytime soon

Did he get all his money though...because he didn't deserve any of it.

He shouldn't but don't quote me on that.

 

[Burner Account]

Well I watched the Liverpool highlights. They looked pathetic. Such poor defending today.

Definitely an early gift to me.

 

[njdevsfn95]

Newcastle gave it a good go today. Oh well :-/

Kaka has been shot down endlessly over and over again.

Did Marquez ever play close to a full season?

 

[New Jersey]

****.

Oh, well. I'll completely admit that I was getting a bit nieve after seeing that Liverpool was only four points out of fourth last week. Today's match proved that the Reds still have a long way to go.

Not pinning this on Rodgers because I highly doubt I would do anything differently in his position. Our attacking three without Borini is a world-class player in Suarez, then two promising kids. It's going to take another transfer window for Rodgers to acquire more talent. The philosophy is good, the style of play is good, and the kids have been doing a good job of keeping us afloat in the table, but we desperately need to make more signings of quality, experienced talent. No one said the rebuilding process would happen overnight.

New management new direction. Never say never

No, combine that with awful play, lack of commitment to the team, and gigantic salary and you get the worst DP in MLS history.

Juninho to the Red Bulls official.

[DatBoyJPP]

When are they tearing the grass up? I'm calling shenanigans

 

[Basement Cat]

Great signing if he's not a DP.

 

[DatBoyJPP]

I don't think it is

Hilarious coming from worst big signing in league history RT @JuanG_Arango Rafa Márquez said MLS was still "an amateur tournament."

He is usually anti-Red Bull but hit the nail on the head with this one

 

[Devils Trap]

Arsenal vs Reading should be interesting .

Reading are always competitive and Arsenal are struggling . I like Walcott , but I do believe he will leave come January. (Edit: Looks like he is playing ST today)

edit: Nevermind. Arsenal are dominating. Reading look uninterested

 

[Saugus]

Solid win, and a hat trick from Cazorla is always welcome.
