Oh yeah absolutely.

Because I'm excited about this (and our new Irish midfielder).

...am I allowed to be excited that we signed Augi Williams?

😳😇

Well, a few years ago @barryglendenning.bsky.social found it kind of funny when a goalkeeper was given a red card while being stretchered off in MLS's title game.

I'm a little worried the Dr. Tottenham jokes will only grow more stale now that Spurs allowed *that* West Ham team to have an xG of 3.

I really admire your faith, tbh. I'm just glad I can make Tottenham jokes.

We lay be going down, but we can enjoy the banter for a week.

We're just...so bad. We are so badly run. We usually have one of the highest attendances in Europe, we played in Europe, and we had all that Rice money, and have squandered all of that. Our track record for transfers since 2020 is unspeakably hideous. It's just so bad.

We're done.

To paraphrase The Communist Manifesto, a spectre is haunting West Ham -- the spectre of George and Sanny analyzing their play next season.

I picked a good year to embrace my Scottish ancestry and follow Scotland.

How does Barry feel about Scotland snatching the limelight from Ireland?

PS. No hard feelings at all about Hearts of Pine being the USL club to improbably make the pod even though my own club, Hartford Athletic, beat them on our way to winning our first trophy, the Jagermeister Cup, given that we lost in our other domestic cup competition to those amorous Maine bastards.

Assuming it wasn't actually a dream, I was utterly gobsmacked to hear the lower divisions of US soccer make it to the pod last Thursday. I don't think we can talk about Portland Hearts of Pine without mentioning their kits, which are truly splendid. And, yes, the actor Patrick Dempsey is a fan.

Absolutely nasty finish from Sebastian Anderson for the juggernaut that is Hartford Athletic.

This is why Nicholas gets paid the big bucks because Hartford now leads.

Also, Hadji Barry looks very much like someone who hasn't really played in the last few years.

Oakland Roots SC vs. Hartford Athletic Halftime Attacking Statistics.

This may be the statistical equivalent of a real-life Jagermeister hangover. #USL-C

We. Have. Put. Up. With. A. Lot. Of. Guff. 🤣

Genuinely so happy for Hartford fans. They’ve been the butt of jokes since 2019, and all that finally has some silverware.

Hartford Athletic win USL Jägermeister Cup over Sacramento Hartford Athletic beat Sacramento Republic 1-0 to lift the Jägermeister Cup in an upset win on the road.

On Saturday, Hartford Athletic upset Sacramento Republic to win the USL Jägermeister Cup — and lift silverware for the first time in club history.

A monumental moment for the team and for the United Soccer League. Story on @hudsonriverblue.com:

After the final whistle. Hartford Athletic, Jäger Cup Champs.

CHAMPIONNNSSSSSSSS!!!!! 🏆

Technically, in the East Coast time zone, the sports day is beginning with joy. 😉

People talk about Keystone Kops defending, but this was as close to the silent film slapstick that gave the term its name.

Hartford twitter has now confirmed

The really stinky thing about the situation is it might amount to a 'he said, he said' situation. But based on how Hairston, Burke, Hartfords players (after they realized what was apparently said), and especially the officials, I can only surmise that a slur or charged comment was made.
