The Second Club Thread

Good luck Alan.

I’ve just seen that the managerial genius of Phil Neville strikes again. Fluked his way into the MLS play offs as a wild card and then lost 5-0 at home FFS

You hear about all the drama there?

Game should have been in Vancouver, but the owners of BC Place already rented it out for a Motocross event, so the match couldn’t be played there.

Phil Neville pre-match: “I think God must be a Timbers fan.”

[Vancouver manager] Vanni Sartini post-match: “I don’t believe in God.”

Went about as badly as possible! Lost 0-2 and Pep Biel got himself a red in stoppage time so he’s suspended for the win-or-die match at BofA. That’s a really bad omen as he’s been the addition that has knit our attack together (though he didn’t do a whole lot beyond the red last night, it must be said).

Orlando are probably the better team on paper but still disappointing given the form we and they had been in prior to the match.

A 4-2 loss at Leipzig in the cup. Always likely to be a write off tbh.
