It appears that many people don't care what happens on the field, as long as the team comes away with points. Personally, I feel that losing "pretty" is only slightly behind winning "ugly".
Okay Aerick, let's see how the masochist enjoyed this last match.

This last match sucked to watch. Mostly I hated Garlick. "Watch how cool I can play with the ball with my feet in the box. Whoops, I messed up. Oh well, I'll just kick it out of here to Gardener and mosey on back to my line, because there's no way he can score from 18 feet out on an open net. And then, if by some miracle he does score, I'll do a little somersault to show everyone how agile I am."

ARRRRRGGGHHHHHHHH

We should put Nolly in there. Not that that would help us win, but might help us keep from losing more often. We'll get to see a string of 0-0 ties - SWEET!!!

It saddens me to say this, but I'm officially on the bandwagon now. If Ellinger doesn't miraculously get this team into the play-offs (which really would be a miracle), then we need to fire him. If and when it becomes mathematically impossible they should do the deed as well. That way you can get someone in here that can experiment with the team, get to know how they play together before the season ends and not have to worry about results until the next season.

My early season prediction about mid-season was total shi te - even though it's been more entertaining to watch the team play, it's been just as frustrating.

Was it enjoyable watching me eat humble pie?

Actually, It's just nice knowing you're not taking drugs like meth or that you aren't being brainwashed by some cult.

Post Game Comments:

Real have now been shut out in three of their last four games. Ellinger was asked how the club's offense can improve.

"We've got to make the goals bigger (and) the crossbars thinner," Ellinger said.

This is getting stupid. Are they trying to move the team?

FENoM! Now Goddammit!

Those are the words of a man who knows he doesn't have a clue. He is ****e through and through and is fully aware. I imagine him laughing himself to sleep every night just thinking about the fact he still has a job. FIRE HIM!!

I watched a show about meth tonight. It was more uplifting than watching RSL.

Even with Friday's win, RSL remains rock bottom in the standings...
