There has been a lot of negativity around here. I understand the frustration, I've been attending the games and I'm sure my blood pressure doesn't appreciate it. I think the whole scoring drought has left many of us baffled. After witnessing the unthinkable debacle Saturday night, especially regarding the 2nd PK, many have drawn the only logical conclusion: DC United is cursed. Oh sure we say it in jest, but what if it's true? We can point at Jaime's lackluster play, or having 6 defensive players in the line-up, or Fat Tony's ability in goal, or the suspect officiating, but that doesn't explain consistently outplaying the opponent with not much to show for it. Hell, maybe it does, but somehow I feel a little better to think the whole problem is external. When was the last time that one of our strikers scored a goal in the run of play? June 8th, Quaranta against New England. Since then Nelsen has scored 3 goals, Baby Bobby has scored 2, McKinley has scored 1, and Moreno converted a PK. Purely hypothetical question: what if some bitter, non-performing West African put some voodoo curse on all of our strikers? I think it's time to stop looking for Daglish, Gazza, Asprilla? etc. as that secret ingredient to the magic formula. Instead we should look into garlic, crucifixes, and/or goat's blood for some kind of black magic antidote.
Should we all get together and bury a penny on the pitch like the German NT did? Heck, I've got a quarter we can use for this...
We have until Saturday to come up with an exercisim plan here...............we can do this, we have hired a plane why can;t we exercise these demons.
In the end though, Chico, you know you have to say a big "Fvck you" to JOBU, and do it yourself. You can give the rum and cigars to me, though.
I don't think Father Damien has recovered from his injuries sufficiently to go the full 90. http://132.185.132.39/films//2000/10/16/images/exorcist_directors_cut_2000_large.jpg -G. Rex
It was a Dallas game during the 2000 season (either in May or June, we won both of those games). Must have been the combo of the make- your-own-Burn-player and bite his head off (I baked ginger bread men and brought some decorating frosting) and the luck candle I got at a local santaria store. I still have the candle and can bring next game. Gotta be talked into baking though, I ain't no Martha! K
Yes, please bring your candle and if you would bake gingerbread SJ Clash players, I'm think there's a certain poster who would like to eat Landon's head.
If I didn't know any better, I would have guessed that somebody in the crowd had been secretly sticking pins into a Jaime Moreno bobblehead.
ZOINKS! I really don't want to observe anyone suggestively licking the frosting off. I definitely can dig out the candle (and make get another). We'll see about the cookies. K
