No shit. There is nothing wrong with the name Rapids. It is not a horrible name that needed to be changed, like Burn. Uniforms look like Aston Villa now.
Since Liverpool is now owned by a Texan, FCD might forge a relationship with Liverpool. I would trade Liverpool for the Gunners, ifyou are all right with it. Pity we struck out with Celtic.
What were the Rapids promised in the relationship?
Player exchange? NO.
Coaches working together? NO.
Friendly? Damn lucky if you get this.
Youth program relationship? Rapids coaches can look at the Arsenal youth teams practice.
FCD has two relationships, and are looking for another. Tigres and CAP are looking to create a brand in the US, just as Arsenal is looking to expand thiers. No knock on the Rapids, since FCD is the biggest whore in the bussiness. FCD fans get on Big Soccer and talk about the holes in the teams, and how Tigres or CAP have a player that they will loan to FCD. No fucking way will either team give any tam a player they have an interest in. We get a home and home with both teams, but that is Tigres and CAP, not Arsenal or Liverpool. Somehow, FCD beat Tigres is the bullshit "Rio Grande Plate" tie on penalty kicks. We can beat any team on pk's except Colorado.
Here is one thing....
Isn't Colorado's new stadium a large complex, like Frisco? Here is something Columbus. El Lay, and Shitcago don't have. Do not believe the Europeans here, it makes a lot of sense for a team like Arsenal to come to the US to train. I saw the members of AC Milan and Parma wandering around the Pentagon City Mall once. The big teams can come over, see the sights, practice at top notch facilities, and get a game against an in season form team. We hosteed Everton last year, but did not get a game. The front office set up an Everton Club America game, since that would make a lot of money. That is how things work in Dallas.
You know they could call them the Colorado Arsenal... I mean there is a bevy of nuclear weapons under those Rockies correct ? Although I must say Denver has the best nicknames for the major sports of any city...
Is there any truth to the rumor of Phoenix getting an MLS franchise. I've never been a huge fan of MLS but if Manchester City continues at this pace they will be relegated and I won't be able to see any of their matches.
I saw this story on NBC news a while back about a girl (actually a little older that me) who was killed in the World Trade Center on 9/11 and one of the only things that had found of her's was her lap top computer. Well her mom gained ownership of said computer, didn't do anything with it for months and finally decided to see... Read More
They are from a village in Scotland that was famous for letting kids marry at a younger age than they could in England, a bit of a "Vegas" in terms of that fact.
They are noticable because a local millionaire bought them and has been pouring tons of money into the club, so they've been promoted every year and will likely be in the SPL next year "if" they can meet the ground and stadium standards or work something out, because as of now with their ground of 3,000 they don't.
Vanney is solid. He lacks speed, so he needs to be in a four man back, and in the center. If Pablo can protect him from guys running right past him, he will do fine.
FCD's probelm with him was that he cost too much for the level he played at. I think a lot of us were astonished that y'all took him off our hands, until we took a seroius look at your back line. Anyway, thanks.
If you notice, FCD has been dumping salary for a long time. First , ROB, then Valikaria, today Vanney and Gbandi. Soon, Mina. Gotta get Davids under the cap! the next thing that needs to happen is to get another team's DP. Though it may not be necessary. How is LA going to get one? Would you take the enitre team, minus Donovan and Beckham, for a DP? I wouldn't. FCD, on the other hand, has loads of young talent they can dump on a tema for thier DP. It will help more than a single European will.
But how does LA get one? They don't! The MLS will just change the rules, so, FCD and LA get to keep everyone!
Don't sweat the FA... but look out for Bolton trying to knock you from next year's Champions League... the bastards.... fuckin Anelka will probably start tearin in up...
Well I guess we all in the Land of the Rapids have a snow storm story from this past week and here is mine. Wednesday morning I went to work like usual to the mall (Lets call it Flatirons) and like usual I thought this damn storm was going to be a nice lil dumping but nothing to write home about, of course I was...

Well I finally made it home. Denver was hit by a major major winter storm and of course I got stuck at my job for the last day and a half. Although I just got some hella good overtime.
