Say, this lower back thing, doctor tells him there's a paralysis risk if he injures it further.

Maybe the big c-word.

Who knows.

Maybe he's just going out before he becomes embarrassing.

Maybe he's just going out before he becomes embarrassing.

Eh, he was still good enough and this was too sudden for that alone.

No secret that some lower back issue forced him down the pecking order. And others beyond myself purported that as a reason for the blindsiding retirement.

Or maybe you're right. No one seems to know for sure. Or at least no one is willing to say so.

 

[jlinz]

Maybe it was this. He was probably [emoji848] too old for this kind of crap.

So we're getting a pro team in Austin. That's it...that's all I got...never to be seen again. Bye Bye! [emoji39]

Based on the last two weeks, maybe City is a juggernaut no more.

Yedlin does something right for a change.

​

It was a nice goal by Yedlin - too bad he plays for Newcastle - spuds should've kept Yedlin - way better than Walker IMHO

Kid has heart and pace. Not so much on touch.

Different than Walker. Disagree on better. Faster for sure. I'd rather have Trippier than either.

You English have ruin our Young American Talent - now he plays rough & tough

 

[robdogj]

I won't lie, I will be hoping for a draw at Wembley but a win by spuds wouldn't hurt much either - add that w/ a win by Chelsea & guess would be on Top of Table

The King? You mean Da Mighty Gooner Killa - Didier Drogba?

​

 

[RonnieBiggs]

Wait, hold my beer...

Lol i don't miss Drogba though, he even put one past us in the MLS All star game i think.

There is only one King

yep - you know your footie/misery

[Qhrumphf]

I laughed much harder at this than I probably should have.

 

[RonnieBiggs]

It was a great miss for Chelski, Spuds and Arsenal.

 

[RonnieBiggs]

lol. Its literally just left his boot and you can already see its too high.

 

[robdogj]

memo to skraeling:
I know you are happy that St Louis FC made it into the USL Playoffs, but I want to let you know the joy will be temporary. STL will coming to the Indomitable City where The Mighty Sac Republic calls home - this won't be fun - this won't be pretty - it will be hard & dirty - so Prepare!!!

You mean Ledley?

 

[fourfarthing]

Kenny’s knees are sadly in better shape than Ledley’s.

Indeed.

 

[Qhrumphf]

He's Juan of our own!

Kid has a long way to go, but glad to see Foyth get a goal. And good to see Sissoko be one of our best lately (though perhaps that speaks more to others not being their usual level than it does to him). He was arguably one of our best today in an otherwise sh*** performance where I'm thankful we got an undeserved result.

 

[jlinz]

2 great wins for Spurs. Feeling positive!

 

[Qhrumphf]

Beating Barca at Camp Nou will be a tall order.

But we took a point from Real Madrid at the Bernabeu last year, so it's not impossible.

Better than relying on PSV Eindhoven to get a result against Inter.

Also Robbie Keane has fully retired.

COYS

 

[jlinz]

Tall order for sure, but I wouldn’t have thought we would destroy Chelsea like that either.

[Qhrumphf]

Perspective. Chelsea, then a must win against Inter. Arsenal got to play the lads in Europa. Spurs were clearly both mentally and physically tired.

I'm more upset by the now former Spurs supporter who threw a banana peel at Aubameyang (and deservedly has been banned for life). Leave that kind of behavior to the West Ham and Chelsea supporters. Dammit we're better than that.
