Somehow I am thinking that Nesta may want to wait another week before joining the squad on the sideline. It's going to be hot, humid, and nasty.
Post #57 in the last Montreal thread: not sure they'll add on to that one. ugly game all around good news is that we get to play them here, twice I believe. You can pencil in 6 points for those two.
Not to rehash that entire episode but if that's your reason then so be it. For me it's more about momentum and keeping teams behind us at distance for playoff positions, if that means beating a team coached by Marsch or Martians really makes no difference.
dear dynamo players, go out ,in THE OVEN, and DESTROY ,EMBARRAS AND DISMANTLE MONTREAL. IT IS A REVENGE GAME. What Marsch did was classless,and took a tenured player and turned his world upside down for nothing. All of his explanations are empty to me. Iread everything I could find to try to understand why someone with Marcsh's intelligence and credentials would pull such a stunt and I still cant. So instead I hope we blow them off the pitch. If we can run up the score that would even be better.
He grabbed Ching to trade him for Hainault. Everyone knows that and it's no mystery. 3 points Houston and 0 points DC this weekend and suddenly we are in 3rd place!
So the big drubbing we received up in Montreal had us playing our back-ups right? Who are the stars on Montreal? All I know is DiVaio and Bernier
No, we did not primarily use back-ups in Montreal. We did use a few. Houston lineup: Tally Hall; Andre Hainault, Bobby Boswell, Geoff Cameron, Corey Ashe; Colin Clark (Brian Ownby 62), Adam Moffat, Je-Vaughn Watson (Luiz Camargo 51), Brad Davis; Will Bruin, Brian Ching (Warren Creavalle 81)
there is zero reason that we should lose to this team from america junior. zero. for me, it's nine points or nothing this week!
Felipe is a really good playmaker for them. I've been real impressed with him. Arnaud, Mapp, and Nyassi are the others you might be familiar with.
I want the following for Saturday's game vs. Montreal: 1) A win 2) A group with a giant "Marsch Sucks" or similar derogatory yet psedo-family friendly banner that everyone can see 3) BBVA concessions or Levy Restaurants to serve Poutine as a special menu item
One of my favorite things about astros home games, is that they have a concession stand dedicated to the favorite food of the opposing city. When they play philly; cheesteaks, when they play San Diego; fish tacos. I would love to see that at the oven.
