    I think you already know what I want to say. You weren’t sure exactly how I’d get to the punch line, but you definitely knew it before opening this thread. It’s the punch line we’ve dreamed of for four long, long years. Not those years. I’m talking about the hollow years, the years that have blended together into cold grey. We’ve all walked around the concourse at some point, in really no rush at all, wondering to ourselves, “will that fickle bitch ever pay me a visit again?”

    Someone rep him. I can't.


    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to TEConnor again.

    Got you covered...

    And on the same note...I would consider myself extremly lucky if United won the cup this year, it being my first year of coming to every game. Although I want it a lot, I want it even more for all the friends Ive made down at RFK, a lot of which who have been here to see the glory days and the, uh, not-so-glory days too.

    Would be very nice to get that 4th star added in my first year though, Ill tell ya that ;)

    These last three weeks brought back some great memories of some chilly nights at RFK when the games actually meant something. Getting all nervous days before the game knowing that the Cup lay waiting at the end of the road.

    The one difference is that back in the day, you KNEW United was going to pull it out. No question. Coming back from COWlumbus after a 5-0 drubbing, we were all certain the Crew was toast. IMHO that was the greatest signature game that the old United team ever played. That 4-0 thrashing of the Crew will go down in my memory banks as the greatest statement they ever made.

    I'm starting to see that swagger and confidense from this team. Saturday night will tell us alot.

    Yes. Back to the joy of the 1997 championship game, when the rain and beer showers were part of the celebration.

    I have to admit, that the first few times I came to matches I sometimes felt unwelcome by some of the old timers. "your only here cause of Freddy" syndrome. Well thats not the case, had I lived here 9 years ago I would have been coming to matches then. But by about June and thanks to some of the Barra and some SEs I really felt apart of this CRAZY life of being a DC United fan. Every week has been an adventure, something new, bringing new people in, and cheering for one of the greatest futbol team! So thanks to everyone who's taken in all us newbies this year, I think it speaks highly of the supporters groups, and the family that DCU has brought together. We've been on one heck of a ride this year, let's make it last 2 more weeks!

    VAMOS UNITED!

    I can not contain myself any longer. Tomorrow will be the last time I see some of you for months, and though I know some of you barely and a few of you sorta, I still want to say thanks for making me feel at home.

    "You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later."

    Does this make me a Rep Junkie?

    I haven't been able to eat all day. Tomorrow is going to be worse... But I'm certain, at least, that I'll be able to drink beer. G-d I'm nervous!!!!!
