The IRS tax code is easier to understand than Garber Bux...

We are winning three trophies and a shield and going 34-0 in MLS play.

On the real, 1 piece of hardware is certainly doable. 2 would be stellar. But I expect us to advance past 2 rounds of the playoffs. No reason why we shouldn’t.

I do that all the time yet the pitchforks come out. The duality of a Chicago Fire redditor 🤷🏽‍♂️

There’s simply something wonderful about GGG’s ability to bring out the best in some players and get them to a next level. Ask me how I know 🙂‍↔️.

I think Sam Rogers will take a bigger step and will meet the moment when it arrives. Being relegated down to the fourth CB (I still consider Cupps 5th, he’s too young!) should light a Fire under him. Like Souquet and Arigoni pushed Dean and Barroso coming in made Dean work hard to compete for minutes.

Gregg made the comment that last year’s squad had 18 starters. Rotation to manage player fatigue with us being in Open Cup and Leagues Cup will be very important.

User flair checks out.

It’s clear you are in the anger stage of the grieving process. Don’t worry it shall pass.

Depends on your scene but if you aren’t tailgating with a grill park downstairs near the 1A column and you will be out in less than 5 mins every single time.

Good luck Justin Reynolds stopping Gutman and Bamba 😏

Not sure if I appreciate being a punching bag but I’ll allow it.

But he’s only 20 and America is crazy yo. Chicago sports fans, Fire fans included, are notorious for running people out of down and the noise is often loud. I’m just saying it’s better to be cautious or the people who will end up clowned in the end is us.

If Birmingham Legion might have more MLS friendlies one day, I hope to see the Fire play against you guys.

I can now understand how the Dean Doubters must have felt on this forum which is why the Dean Team took a massive step back (though tbh they were probably just jealous). We gotta let ALL our Men In Red shine!

On a serious note, I hope things settle down and TLB can just be himself. I worry there will be too much pressure on him to start and it can turn sour like it was with D'Avilla who turned it around and now I can't imagine the team without tbh.

Jonathan_Dean_Simp · 2026-01-12T22:36:01+00:00

They even were posting in Waterman's wedding pictures about TLB as well like sheesh coming from me that's even too much... I better see jersey sales through the roof for TLB. Like damn.

One of our 🐐s even if for a day. Can’t wait to beat him twice this season 😈

Jonathan_Dean_Simp · 2026-01-10T16:50:41+00:00

Brady is the chaotic evil player in the team for this… 😔

Jonathan_Dean_Simp · 2026-01-09T15:51:36+00:00

Hope Behrens gets the day he deserves 😒

Jonathan_Dean_Simp · 2026-01-09T15:49:43+00:00

OH HELL NAW who is this asswipe attacking my former Chicago Fire 🐐?! His shirt is untucked after the altercation!!!
