  1. Oh yeah. On Thursdays (I think, could be Fridays) they have a killer Coconut Pie. Sandwiches are okay too, but the pies are outstanding.
  2. Kincaid’s is great, eat there for lunch fairly often. I’m not a fan of Rodeo Goat. Best burger in town for me right now is M&O Station Grill down the block from Target on West 7th. Absolutely amazing burger. Don't forget Dutch’s. They’ve got a great burger as well. Spring is here, and the people watching there is fun; coed’s are out in force now.
  3. Marty: “Eight’s the one, I’d stake my life on it” Trotter: “They gotta $2 minimum bet” Love that movie.
  4. Quite an afternoon today. The Bridge on the River Kwai followed by A Man for All Seasons. Great double feature!
  5. One of our own!!!
  6. Lucas looking like our best player
  7. Carlos off a good play by Lucas!
  8. COYS! How they respond today will be very telling.
  9. Yep, and add to that the fact that there will be no Champions League next year, and you have a tough sell with both of those guys. I have no clue who they get, but I can't see Jose coming back. I can see Scott Parker coming in at some point, but not yet. I think he's a future manager, but not for a number of years. He still needs to gain experience.
  10. Yes the roster needs a major overhaul, and Poch said this two years ago. I think a good portion of the players ran out of gas, more than quit on Pochettino. The summer before, during the 2018 World Cup, several of our players went deep into the knockout rounds with their countries (Kane, Eriksen, Lloris, etc...). Then you go right into the start of the 2018-19 campaign and go on an extended FA Cup run, the EPL matches being re-scheduled for our CL run started stacking up, and you could tell that both clubs in the Champions League Final were running on empty. Liverpool didn't look great either. Spurs had zero depth too, after going nearly 18 months from signing anyone in a transfer window. Lucas was the last signing in January of 2018. Kane was hurt, Son was hurt at times and suspended at one point, Dele got hurt, others were in and out of the lineup, and the squad was just fatigued. Poch couldn't rotate the lineup due to the lack of depth. We had several guys that just came into the 2019-2020 campaign with a lot of minutes on their legs. It wasn't but a handful of weeks after that CL Final that the international friendlies began, and then the EPL season. The way Poch runs his training sessions, I'm sure those guys were done. They looked it during the first dozen games. By that time, Levy had made up his mind on Mourinho. I think you're right. Add Aurier into that mix too. Look at how Mourinho handled him when he left the stadium; zero accountability. Contrast that with what Arteta did with Auba last week. I'm sure that didn't go unnoticed with Dele. Then Aurier moves right back into the lineup. As for replacements, Rogers would be good and so would Nagelsmann. As long as it's not boring, negative futbol I don't really care at this point.
  11. I shook his hand, I hope it isn't anything contagious!
  12. That’s funny. Michael from that company came to my house at 8am today to give me an estimate. I haven’t been able to get anyone to show up for 3 weeks now.
  13. They’ll wait until after the City loss. Maybe until May, but he’s gone for sure.
  14. West Ham collapse changed everything. Peak Mourinho achieved in year 2: 1. Piss off a star player (Dele) 2. Questionable lineups 3. Become surly in the media All while playing boring futbol. It usually takes 3 seasons for this to unfold. At least we got there quicker.
  15. No, I was never onboard with the hire, hence the thread title. This should seal it though.
  16. So what? It’s the NLD, if you can’t get up for this, don’t play. This starts with the manager. His style sucks.
  17. Can’t be bothered.
  18. We were on borrowed time with Sanchez these last few games. He was due for a massive fuck up.
  19. One of our own!!!
  20. Shaka had a guy up immediately to sub in for Brown, but Coleman (it may have been someone else) talked him out of it from the court. I think it was Ramey. But yeah, Shaka got talked out of it.
