Columbus Crew against New York City Football Club, 1 June 2019, 7:30 pm

"Who cares?" - @ZipSix

 

I'm hopeful that the "entertaining" loss vs bottom of the league Colorado Rapids was just the kind of "moral victory" we need to turn this god forsaken, interminable season around.

But in reality, if the season ended this weekend after we sent Zack away would more than a few dozen people really care?

 

Easy win.
When we're up 3-0 in the 89th minute and we get a PK called in our favor due to a handball in the box, Steffen will be invited to the other half of the field to score a goal in his final ever Crew game.

 

I predict a Golazo Bonanza, a display of offensive firepower such as the old footie yard hasn't seen since that ludicrous 2000 ASG.

4 -1 Crew and we send Steffen off in style.

 

I can't help but worry about the Steffen v Johnson angle of this match, especially if Gregg is in the building as has been his habit.

 

Steffen stands on his head to get a shutout in his last match in the Tiny Demon Fortress and Sanch gets a late goal to firmly enshrine me into the SanchShine Brigade forever for making sure Zack has 3 points in his last Crew game.

 

Goodbye, Zack, you stopper of PKs, Crew legend, Adonis. We did not deserve you. We will suffer without you. We will miss you. But, we will have the memories, always the memories, until we drink them away. Go get 'em. Show everyone what we've known since the day you came into our wretched lives and raised us up out of the filth. One love, Zack.





Please take us with you.

EDIT:
DUELING THREADS... Dun, dun, DUN!

Goes to show, kids, you should always check the board before posting a new thread.

 

Well, this is awkward.

 

Um... so... oops?

 

The other thread is better, to be honest.






...even if I can't see the poll results.

 

I kind of hope no one else posts here and this thread remains my own personal pit of misery.

Watch as I wallow!

 

For those interested, here's an image of the local gentlemen's club following the DOUBLE TORNADO NIGHT OF 2019:


It's only a half-mile away from my house. I'm not sure if they'll rebuild.

 

DOUBLE TORNADO NIGHT OF 2019 may not be giving the storm enough credit.

 

My vote is for @chr1st.

 

Such accusations within the voting options. Bring back @chr1st.

 

I'm a sucker for attention.

 

The Whitney Houston nod is beautiful. How is Daughter #1 doing with this quickly approaching loss of Steffen?

 

I'm stealing this, who should I cite?

 

Oh, I put our current form all on CB9K.
