OK, so it seems everyone has to have one player that they rag on constantly regardless of how he is actually performing on the field. firefan2001 has Pause. HomietheClown has Pappa. Following their lead, I say we all pick a player upon which top unload our most unhinged and irrational hatred, to bitch about all the time and to blame for everything from declining attendance at TP to unrest in the Middle East. I'll go first. (Or third, depending on how you look at it.) Since Mapp is no longer with the Fire and Pappa and Pause are taken, I'll just draw a name out of a hat here.... And the name is... heh. Mike Banner. How ironic considering I'm the only Fire fan who actually wants him on the roster. Er, I mean, until now, that is... Well, you can't argue with the Norns, I suppose. So, damn you, Mikey, you made Clint Dempsey miss that open goal last night! And you kill our attack - from the bench. That's how bad you are! OK, who's with me? -------- There was a young sailor from Brighton Who said to his girl, "You're a tight 'un." She replied, "Pon my soul, You're in the wrong hole. There's plenty of room in the right 'un."
This is not true. Every time I see Pappa he plays poorly or is inconsistent. He has his flashes of brilliance and then tries to take on 3 defenders and loses the ball. If he plays a whole game well I will give him his due... ... but that'll be the day.
Mine? Oh, mine is easy. Jon Conway. We will not hoist a trophy with him in the city. Hell, county. Can't we trade him for a bag of balls? He must not be on the roster.
See, that's the spirit! You're an inspiration for those us new to this whole monomaniacally unreasoning vitriol thing. I salute you, sir. I'm writing a song to express my now undying loathing of Mike Banner. Here's what I have so far... title: "Mike Banner, I Do Not Like U" U'r presence on my team makes me hurt I cry when I see U put on a Fire shirt U must be loco if U think I want U to play If U showed up at my tailgate I'd tell U to go away It's a work in progress ----- A virgin with eyes that were blue, Was told that it's sinful to screw. So she rubbed on her clit, But swore that she'd quit, At least in the next year or two.
I'm trying to decide whether I hate Alec Dufty more than I hate Pari Pantazopoulos. I hate the goalkeeper because I always want to spell his name "Alex Duffy" but the f*cker won't change it to accommodate my whims. And don't get me started on Pantazopoulos. The a$$hole doesn't even have the decency to to do something awful so I can legitimately hate him. Jerk. Maybe I will just hate on Marko Maric. That pr1ck makes too much money and what has he ever done to earn it? C0cksucker.
My personal Satan: Dr. Megan Leahy - Team Podiatrist! WTF Megan?! Obviously there is an issue with this team's feet! Logan Pause's feet are obviously on backwards rendering him unable to pass forwards. Jon Conway's feet have some kind of sudden paralysis that causes the inability to move them half the time when the ball is shot. Nyarko can't move his feet in order to shoot in the last third of the field. ******** you, Dr. Megan! You missed your calling! You should have focused on De Los Cobos's Rectal craniectomy.
Pappa looked like his old bad self today. Taking on three defenders and either losing the ball or shooting it to the moon.
I'll join the fun and choose Conway for MPS. Yep dude moves between the pipes like he's got a pant-load. Good thing you didn't start this thread a few weeks back or there would have been major fighting with everyone choosing Cobos for MPS! Suppose with my first BS-Fire post ripping on a player I should introduce myself and say hello fellow Fire fans. I'm stuck in the soccer badlands of the southeast without a semi-local team to support... heck not even a regional team. Thus I chose one established team and one expansion team from each side as I began following MLS a few years ago. Originally following LA & Chicago but adding Seattle & Philadelphia as they were added to the league. Don't hate me for it... or perhaps I could be someone's MPS! Phillip
Why do I need a personal one? Why can't I have the real thing? http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/666 (LOL at page number Yahoo!)
