hi and welcome, hopefully like me you'll arrive her to follow a player and stay because you begin to follow the team. look forward to your posts

I have wondered the same thing but from reading the boys posts I assume it means to play a defensive game and hope to score on set pieces (not worry so much about the offensive side of things) and to not attack as much. Am I right guys??

Congrats Manpe 'bout time

hoping for a good result and better play on our behalf. and I am hoping to actually be able to see the darn game! so many of them end up being in the middle of the night for me.

Welcome to TC! I am also an American although I live in Asia. I am a member of CIA so I suspect we have bumped into each other there too. I grew up in mid-Michigan, so I am a fellow Michigander. Hope you like the board and stick around.

Welcome aboard I thought your post was very well written. I'm one of those American's that Ollie was poking fun at (I tolerate it because it's ollie!). Hope you enjoy the board and stick around!

Welcome to TC Hope you enjoy it!

voted for Shane, because he doesn't ever offend me, LDN is great as well but occasionally steps over the line. JMHO

Just wanted to let you know i will be off the grid for a few months and I will see y'all in August when I am back from my summer travels. Have a save and enjoyable summer! Alex, Steve, Cara, Nicola, Zash and Jai, y'all know how to find me if you need me. Have a good summer all y'all!

welcome I think we all start by lurking a little bit but I hope you jump in and start commenting!!

Ni hao! Welcome to Tc! I hope you stay! Take Care!! Kerry

I unfortunately cannot go to any of the games when I am in the US, they are too far away from where I'll be why couldn't we play somewhere in the middle of the US?

QPR's keeper has to be kicking himself for that botched save

Yes it is and so is the UCL which we are already going into without some of our best players. We need all of our "heavy weights" to be in top form. Not to mention our chances of finishing in the top four were minimal and far too dependent on other factors at this.

Hey Sorry I haven't been on for a while. CIA just opened up the membership for 2012-2013 If you want to join. They gave away some really cool freebies last year. I haven't decided if I am going to a game yet. I will get to Michigan at the beginning of July and be in Memphis mid July. Have to fly back early August and in between make sure we have all our yearly check ups and see the family. **SIGH**

Torres is on a roll!! Barton is a butthead!

apparently one that isn't big enough to jump in/on!

Holy cow! Who lit the damn fire under Torres and how do we keep it lit??

I was going to ask if the red was deserved since I didn't get to see the match but evidently from the comments it was. Sometimes I really want to know what JT thinks... he has to know that kind of dumb ass move will earn a red and it was an idiotic risk to take!

2:30 am I believe the time difference is 2 hours between you and I. 4:30 is do able since I usually get up at 5 or 5:30, but 2:30 would be awful for me.

I will have to wait for the delayed showing of the game since it will be on in the wee hours of the morning and I have to work the next morning. I hope we pull it out and I think the boys are capable when they are on their game. Let's hope tomorrow they are absolutely at their best!

Washington DC on July 28 looks like they will play AC Milan

cheer them on for me, lads, I will miss most of the game since we have tickets for the Shenhua game tonight. I will hopefully catch the end when we get home! Hoping for a win tonight and I hope it is good even if we need to be scrappy

Alex, I think this is just one more reason I love you! :heart: If the game is on during the night (for me), I sleep in my JT Jersey :eyebrows:
