2008 Other Team's News, Thread IV [R]

has to be posted twice


Here is a little song I wrote
Monty might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every year the Revs have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Bigsoccer started and created a Revs Thread
Don't worry, be happy
Steve Nicol said the team is lame
They may have to skip a game
Don't worry, be happy
Look at Steve, hes happy
Don't worry, be happy
Here I give SoccerDoc’s phone number
When you worry call him
He make you happy
Don't worry, be happy
got lots of cash under the cap
Ain't got new players to close the gap
But don't worry be happy
Cause when you worry
The Revs play Bad
And that will make everyone one sad
So don't worry, be happy (now).....

There is this little song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what Steve say
To many cups, won’t win a double
If you think they’ll win MLS cup
Then you’re in trouble
Don't worry, be happy......
Don't worry don't do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Drink a Sam Adams, smoke a cigar
Don't worry, it will soon past
there is always next year
Don't worry, be happy

 

They are a massive club

 

Congratulations to Houston. They are doing a good job managing their schedule and representing MLS internationally both in SuperLiga (2nd place) and CCL.

Too bad more of their fans weren't at the stadium to see it. Attendance of 4,178 versus 10,908 at their last mid-week home game against an MLS team (Chivas, 8/20). Same stadium and similar weather conditions.

 

No, no, no! You've got it all wrong!

Columbus are the "Massive" club
New York are the "SuperClub"
LA Galaxy are the "Jewel of MLS"
DC United are the "Flagship Franchise"

And on the other end of the spectrum, the Kansas City Wizards are "Perfectly adequate enough on a good day."

What does that make us?

 

floundering in a sea of despair

 

FYP

 

I'm just sitting here watching the Joe Public vs Impact de' Montreal and thinking about...well, a lot of things really, but one of them is how great it would've been to have a chance to start a great rivalry with Montreal with a couple of big matches in a big tournament.

I have to admit that getting Montreal into MLS is pretty high on my list.

 

Yep I was saying the same thing when we went out to Joe Public. Not only the Montreal aspect, but another shot at the Atlante thugs.

I just joined an Impact facebook group! I like watching them, but I think CCL has taken its toll on them as well, if anyone watched the Whitecaps second leg this weekend it looked like Montreal were worn down but I give them a lot of credit for making a go at the CCL.

 

The Wicked Pissah Club

 

The Buf--

never mind

 

Same here, though I'm starting to wonder if we would have gotten our asses kicked.

The Impact are odds on to win the group. BTW, they've solved the mystery that is Joe Public FC

 

It's the...uh...Canadian air! Ya, that's it!

Phew, for a second there I thought I might have to admit that the Revs threw the game.

 

ya but were they in first place in July?

 

Yeah, but if they'd had a REAL coach, they would have deliberately crashed out of the CCL so they'd have been rested when they met Vancouver for the USL championship spot. THEN, in the USL final they would have easily beaten Puerto Rico because..... wait for it... Puerto Rico will be soooooo tired from all the CCL play.

It's all really bad planning on Montreal's part. I mean here they are, out of their championship, but they still have something to play for. What's up with that. They should be playing golf.

 

Mon-ray-aaale? Boeuf! How many open roster spots do THEY have? And gimmie a break, they ADDED a couple of players late in the season because they thought those guys could help.

Buncha wusses!

 

Well, that's embarassing. I thought the Spurs name would attract a better name than the effing Quakes.

 

Maybe we should tell them our history in tournaments, it's only natural they'd want to partner with the club that mirrors their successes (and failures)

 

Huckerby to be loaned to out Spurs after the MLS season. Just watch.

Post Super-Liga, the REVs have a 3-4-5 Record or 13 points in 12 games (MLS only). 1.083 ppg. Next time I'm tempted to laugh at the Beckham circus I'll think twice. We may not have been of LA quality prior to Superliga but we certainly have sunk that far since.

I suspect the, less than 24 hour old, challenge of losing Steve Ralston will become the latest in a series of excuses that have been offered for this team. That, like most of the others, will be pure fiction. This team is what their record states they are - free points to any challenger. Honest reflection on how the REVs became the East Coast Galaxy is in order. Any conclusion should strongly consider pathetic roster management and insane coaching choices
