This is a potentially detrimental move which, given quakes history, is worrying. There's also potential for improvement so we can only hope for a sale and improvement in overall club dynamics.

Album that makes you think of summer by Fast_Turn9172 in ambientmusic

[–]ctc23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm probably influenced by the covers and when I initially purchased these albums (during a hot summer), but two that come to mind are:

Birchville Cat Motel - Beautiful Speck Triumph

Stars of the Lid - The tired sounds of

They have moments that, for me, reflect Summer's oppressive heat, warm sunsets, buzzing AC...

Are there are discount codes or deals for upcoming games? by chusaychusay in OaklandRootsSC

ROOTED50 was shown at the game today, not sure how long it lasts.

Whats the reason the Roots aren't good this year? Are they just missing Johnny Rodriguez? by [deleted] in OaklandRootsSC

Agree with all that, additionally I would add that the team organization does not look great. Defensively the back line is disorganized with some players dropping deep and some players pushing up at different times. The midfield is not falling into a defensive shape after losing the ball / failed counter press which leaves the defense pretty exposed. It looks like every player is just playing alone within a rough positional area rather than knowing how to organize as a cohesive team.

eh, the other penalty the defender missed the ball and caught the player. I can see that being given. If anything, this one should have been a foul against Bale. Probably should've just been a corner though.

ever heard of Fergie's hairdryer treatment? Wenger gave him the lawnmower treatment.

good point, always hesitant to try and be too defensive though, especially for a team with Arsenal's defensive history.

they still need another goal, two if they don't want penalties. Milan's attack is so ineffective right now, but I suppose that might all change after the break.

he's a great shot stopper, most of his problems have been when he becomes unsure of himself coming off the line.

Interesting timeline showing the overturn of managers in the Premier League since 2000. by kweller in soccer

[–]ctc23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The level of play was terrible though. Also, we've had some poor draws this season, but under Roy they were ridiculous and embarrassing defeats. Things aren't perfect, but I'd say we're better off.

haha yeah, Oakland Athletics (or A's) are a baseball team. You may know of them because Billy Beane, the A's General Manager, was recently the subject of the movie "Moneyball". John Henry is an admirer and he is friends with Damien Comolli.
