To our mod appoo and Landon Donovan

Anyone who calls him Landycakes after that deserves a cockpunch.

 

Right on, mike!

 

What is the maximum amount I can love Landon and still be hetero? Because that's how much I love him.

 

I think as long as your picture on here doesn't change...you're cool.

EDIT: I'm always a little nervous when I have your posts showing while I am at work....

 

And hopefully "PrimaDonovan" is done as well.

 

I just posted this in the other thread.

LandyCakes is dead and buried. Long live Landon Donovan.

LandyCakes was the guy who from 2002 until a few years ago assumed that, as of 2002, he'd performed at the highest level and had nothing left to prove. Landon Donovan is the guy who now seems to be trying to be the best player on the planet. He may not make it, but he's kicking some serious ass in the attempt.

 

I dropped Landycakes last Year after the Confederation cup.

 

From now on, he's only Landycakes when he plays for LAG.

 

So he's Mandon now, yes?

 

A move to Europe is a certainty at this point.

I had said it before: Landon is one of the Top 100 players in the planet right now.

People are snobbish and they think to be a top player you must play for one of the teams with the most money spent on ads. BS.

Landon is proving that he's capable of doing more on the big stage than most of the big names.

Rooney has not scored. Messi has not scored. Robinho has not scored. Henry didn't score. Klose, Ronaldo, Eto'o have one goal.

Guess who got two already?

 

No more "Landy Cakes", not even joking. He put 22 men and an entire nation and put us all on his back and carried us despite the odds. Despite the setbacks. Como los hombres.

I've always said this: Landon's greatest gift isn't his speed. It isn't his presence on the field. His nose for the goal. It's not that he's a competitor. It's not his knowledge of the game and his teammates. It's not his passing or his footwork or his shooting.

It's his focus and his ability to get into a zone. He has mastered it.

We were soooo close to getting a goal so many times that we were pressing, forgetting to communicate, and we had 2 separate cases where 2 guys were trying to score the same ball at the same time.

On the lead-up to the goal, once Jozy centered it, pandemonium broke loose. The 2 Algerian defenders and the goalie got caught up into it, so did Dempsey. Buddle was observing, standing back but out of the play.

And along came Donovan.

Focused.

He was the ONLY ONE who had kept his head and was f'ing zenmaster.

 

And they are both EPIC goals. Not a coincidence.

 

I thought everyone was on the "Mandon" bandwagon with me?

 

Actually, he is "Traitor"!

 

I have a pretty good feeling he won't be at the Galaxy after the next transfer window.

Asked whether MLS can keep Donovan, Don Garber said MLS isn't looking to sell him and Donovan doesn't have a price. Everybody has a price.

 

I can't stand all the hyperbole given to athletes allegedly "putting their teams on their backs". What a bunch of garbage...most of the time just over enthusiastic announcer marketing for higher ratings and storylines.

You can talk all you want about the "luck" involved in being in the right place at the right time, but starting at halftime of the Slovenia game, Landon has absolutely done just that.

I have never seen an American player so obviously will his team to victory, and refuse to accept defeat.

It was awesome to have witnessed it.

 

haha I remember my annoyance with this term

 

Funny, you'd think it would hurt even more to keep getting whipped by some guy named "Landycakes." I mean, Bruce Lee's gonna put a hurtin' on you either way, but it has to sting even more if you think of him as Bruceycakes, right?

i believe they re-added the nuts and rumor is that it will be available in Europe sometime in mid-august!

 

I've probably got a hundred posts defending Donovan over the years against the idiots that couldn't recognize talent if it kicked them in the nuts. I've defended him against people who continually re-wrote history to make up imaginary faults of his to attack. I've never in a million years come close to even thinking about calling him Landycakes....until....

...somewhere around the 80th minute when a saw that weak ass wrist tat. A birdie? Are you serious? Not even an eagle, or some sort of funny cartoon bird? A birdie? Were your only other choices a ladybug tattoo on you ankle or a tramp stamp?

I don't care what kind of sentimentality that thing has. For the love of all that is Holy, ...throw some tape on that.


Let the record show that I still only considered it. My next child will still be named after you.

 

I've been calling for a ban of Landycakes since the Confederations Cup. And I call out anyone around me when the call him that.
