2017 Matchday #6: Union v NYCFC, April 14, 2017 p/d/p (R)

It's Good Friday and we shall witness a miracle...Union WIN.

2-1. 2 own goals by NYCFC and Pirlo misses a PK.

 

Conneh scored twice for the Steel today and buried a penalty last week. Might as well call him up to see what he can do and send Simpson down if we can.

 

I predict we will lose.

 

Think you should change the poll to "loss by 1, loss by 2 or loss by 3 or more"

 

Game is on ESPN, not TCN

 

I'm betting win. NYC is a weird fluky team. We're due for the magic of a hug game, or pre firing dead cat bounce

 

This will be the day Jim Curtin dies for his sins.... or something like that.

 

Win. Regression to the mean. We are waaaay below the mean.

 

Will he rise again after three seasons of Sorber?

 

Jimmy has made PPLTES into a fortress. Opposition is terrified of coming in, how the amazeballs SOBs treat them. The noise that reverberates through their locker room.

God we need a steroid anger induced Under Armour commercial with Brian Carroll screaming "WE MUST DEFEND THIS HOUUUUSSSSSEE"

 

It's hard to pick anything but loss at this point.

 

No pessimism this week; We flat out ********ing lose.

 

They're +$110 at bodog, so a slight home dog, that's the closest they've been to favored this year.

 

@Dills Call for Coach Curtin's head all you want he's our coach and this team will go to war for him we believe even if u don't

 

NYCFC is a weird team, though. I don't entirely buy their midfield three. If they get into a flow they can be quite good. But sometimes Moralez and Ring will go MIA and Pirlo just can't cover that defensive ground. Thankfully for them we're not exactly speed demons, or counter attacking specialists, or...good. Our 4-2-3-1 will give us midfield superiority to their 4-3-3, but our lone striker could likely be swallowed by a black hole.

I'm skipping this for a pre-study abroad happy hour and David Villa's on my fantasy team, so at least positives will come from this.

 

I didn't know it was Camp Out night.

 

I believe that we will lose
I believe that we will lose
I believe that we will lose
I believe that we will lose

 

Sadly if we want change we have to root for a loss. Sucks

 

I'll never root for a loss... I'll always root for them to win and prove me wrong... a loss may be "best for the team" ... but I guess I'm just a sucker.
