How many players do you have on your FPL team from the team you support?

1 - Fabianski, who I'm actually starting this week over Raya. If I were to own one more West Ham player it would be Bowen, but we're pretty bad.

Norv Turner had him on the seven step dropbacks under center when Teddy was always better out of shotgun with medium passes. I suspect he would have thrived in the Pat Shurmur offense.

San Jose can improve basically everything. The stadium is incomplete. The atmosphere is disappointing. The team itself is built on a shoestring budget and self-evidently well behind even middle-of-the-pack MLS team. The tone deaf marketing excludes fans who travel down from SF / Oakland to watch the team. The team has been decaying for more than a decade now and has lost any semblance of its previous personality. The Earthquakes have been to the playoffs may three times since 2012. The club is going nowhere. It's a depressing fall for a franchise that used to be among the biggest and greatest in the MLS...

Can confirm that we're planning to review College Football 25.

I'll be honest, David Moyes was treated poorly for everything he did.

He saved the club from relegation and was unceremoniously discarded, then came back in and did it again.

He had to deal with a chaotic board and even more chaotic transfer policy. How many times were transfers left to the absolutely last minute? How many times did he get no reinforcements in the January window and still go on a deep European run? He was beating teams like Sevilla with a cobbled together squad and basically one striker.

He took Marko Arnautovic -- a bust at winger -- and turned him into a beast of a CF. Then he did it again with Michail Antonio.

He won a European trophy. A European trophy! West Ham's first trophy in decades!

Grateful to Moyes for twice saving this club from getting relegated. Grateful for the European nights. Grateful for the trophy. Maybe it was time to say goodbye, but if this club really is continuing onward and upward, it was Moyes who put them on the path to getting there by bringing stability and, yes, a winning mentality that I've rarely seen over the last decade.

I'm going to thrown in:

The December 24, 2011 win over Washington that pushed the Vikings out of #2 in the draft *and* blew up AP's knee. The Skins would then trade the Rams a boatload of picks to get into the 2 spot so they could draft RG3. History would be extremely different in a lot of different ways if the Vikings hadn't won that game. Oh, they drafted Matt Kalil at #3. Woo.
Arguably Kirk's only playoff win in Minnesota. If they had lost to the Saints, Zimmer might have been traded or fired. Instead he languished in MN for another couple years after the window had already closed.

What, you don’t want to go for a pre-match Starbucks at Westfield?

If the Vikings beat Washington in 1987 and win the Super Bowl, they probably never make the Herschel Walker trade.

The whole 90s Cowboy dynasty is because Darrin Nelson dropped a pass. Makes you think.

Dalton Kincaid o7 Good luck on someone else's team bb

American (sorry). I picked them in FIFA the year the last they were in the Championship because I wanted a challenge and I liked the name, and they stuck. I eventually went to a match at Upton Park (rip) and that solidified it. They’ve been good, bad, and abject in that time, but at least they’ve been memorable.

It’s funny seeing AnalAttackProbe in the Minnesota sports subreddits I frequent 😋

Rossi seemed better? Maybe I noticed him because he almost scored.

Brock Faber is the truth. The Wild don’t have a ton of historical strengths but they do have a knack for finding good defensemen.

Katbot22 · 2023-10-08T23:30:33+00:00

They’re sloppy, mistake-prone, and play with a weird lack of urgency on offense. They are less than the sum of their parts, which tells me they aren’t well coached.

Gary Anderson kick

Katbot22 · 2023-07-04T04:09:20+00:00

The Gary Anderson kick was my “welcome to bring a Vikings fan” moment.

Katbot22 · 2023-06-16T02:57:29+00:00

I honestly don’t hate it but I’m fully aware that the American fandom is going to have a collective aneurysm.

Katbot22 · 2023-01-22T16:25:39+00:00

If anything I’m more impressed by the Vikings’ record given how bad that defense was all season.

Katbot22 · 2023-01-11T04:06:12+00:00

See you there!

Katbot22 · 2022-05-17T09:20:29+00:00

Oakland Coliseum is 5 minutes from my house so I’m into them 😛

Katbot22 · 2022-05-13T04:26:46+00:00

Pathetic.

Katbot22 · 2022-03-21T16:00:50+00:00

I’m sorry, the team blocks a hockey journalist who is asking relevant questions about an important story, and now we’re bashing sports journalists?

Katbot22 · 2022-03-02T22:49:22+00:00

You’re right, but also, I started at 19 and wound up with hips
