The "glass half empty" tendency of this forum is never more clear than in this game thread.

Nothing is certain in soccer, but we should be confident heading into a home game against a team 13 places below us in the table.

You know my other team is Liverpool, right? So based on my fan experience, I'm 1000% confident that my lack of confidence is the best approach to this game.

(ugh. I hate when I end up replying to so many posts in a row. Yeah, yeah, so do you, whoever it was that was going to make the obvious smartass reply.)

Using this logic, wouldn't it have been just as important and arguably even moreso, had RBNJ & CHI won?

I don't disagree with your point. It's important.

Eh, I see your point but it's a little different in my eyes. It's like going ahead in a game on an early own goal or going an man up on an early red card. You just got handed an advantage that you need to capitalize on. We got lucky with their results, and it will be that much worse if we screw it up.

We're in a really good spot right now because of those two results. If they had won, to me it would be like any other week. Now it's a "get three points or crawl back under the mid table shadow, you bastards" type of game.

RB will have a game in hand after tonight, with the potential to be just 2 points behind if we lose and they beat us in the derby next Friday. I'd much rather go in with an 8 point cushion and run them off the field to make it 11.

What I want tonight:

Attend my local shul's luau. Wear a gaudy Hawaiian shirt. Sip delicious mixed drinks. Eat my fill of a lamb cooked on a spit in a fire pit. Get home and find my mother was a great babysitter and my daughter is sound asleep. Turn on the DVR and watch a dominating win over NE. Then watch GOT and the white walkers are defeated and Jon and Danny finally kiss and fall in love. I go to bed with a big smile on my face and fully content.

What I expect:

Find myself sat at a table at the luau with people I have nothing in common with. The drinks to be way too sweet, and all I want is a neat scotch. A long line for that lamb and I barely even get a plate's worth. And what I do get, is from the toughest part of the lamb. I get home to see my mom couldn't get my kid to take a bath and she's running around the place laughing and overtired. When my mom leaves and I finally do get her to bed, after a long crying fit, I sit down on the couch to watch the match. But my DVR malfunctioned and even though I pay for MLS live, blackout rules mean I can't even watch for 24 hours. So I come on here to find out what happened and see 20 pages before midnight and know the result. I then have to read all your complaining about how we blew our opportunities, the ref screwed us, and we will be one and done in the playoffs. I watch game of thrones and Danny dies. I cry myself to sleep, wondering what I did to deserve such a night.

What will happen:

Probably something somewhere in the middle.

As long as you get a win by NYCFC I'm good.

Lopez sucks. I hate this lineup.

It means we will get fat tpfkau as a sub.

RJ Allen also sucks. But I guess we have no choice
