Match day 31 v. FTRB

Since Rooney doesn't think about the rivalry, I'm thinking we get a draw at best. Metrodonkeys want to make a playoff spot, so will be motivated. Our guys want to quietly exit stage left... Does anyone at DC really care anymore?

 

Time to piss away another three points. Redbull suck but no matter, DC can’t get the goals. Unclutch.

 

I’d start Asad over Durkin and I’m dead serious. Asad is barely viable but Durkin doesn’t have it, imo. Durkin is also the slowest to get out on the press, he’s a weak link there, too.

 

Or Hopkins. Not Durkin, someone else, please.

 

If this gets played in the rain, I say 1 goal maximum between the two teams since neither team can score.

Or both teams find one day of magic from when the rivalry was relevant and it turns into the sort of epic 6-5 game that you will tell your grandkids you survived a driving rainstorm to cheer DC to victory.

But probably 0-0 nil because both teams stink.

 

I regret to inform you that poetry has broken out in New Jersey:

Ode to failure in Harrison
By Will Smith

The Red Bulls are atrocious
And an incredible bore
The team can’t move the football
And they certainly can’t score

Failure to invest in big names
Has led to boredom among fans
And the inability to win
Guarantees empty stands

I have no issues with the team
They are trying their best
Sadly, they’re lacking in skills

I blame the front office for dashing our dreams
And putting our loyalty to the test
With this run down team devoid of thrills

 

Hauntingly familiar …

 

May the whole team channel their inner Chris Pontius hat trick in the rain vs RB.

Anyone know if it's supposed to get much worse today? It's really not that bad out.

If it's on ill see everyone out there.

FTRB

 

I expect misery.

 

I'd settle for a late DeLeonesque goal for the win...

 

Basically, yet again we're in a must-win situation. Not for the points (although those would be nice), for pride, tradition, and morality.

Evil must not win!

 

WP Weather tweeted out a while ago that the center of the storm was still between Raleigh and Richmond but things would be more heavy and steady this evening

 

Game ON!

The match tonight between D.C. United and the @NewYorkRedBulls at @AudiField will kickoff as scheduled at 7:30 PM. D.C. United will continue to monitor the weather in the area. https://t.co/ZmTbabuiGq

Come on. Durkin, make me look stupid!

 

I think we'll win this one. Even the worst of DCU teams has managed to win in the rain.

 

We are playing at home right? I guess we want to be good hosts and allow the ********ing Metrodonkeys to get comfortable...

 

TYFS. I'm glad the Metros are not able to complete the final pass or move.

 

Well Durkin got it in there but Bentke did jack all with it.

 

What the hell guys!? They tried to set you up twice! ********!

 

That had to be a goal.

Looks like that game a million years ago against TB in a storm

 

At least get a shot off... the Metros want their assists back...
