    Poll: Do You Like The New N Y C F C Away Jersey?

    This is an embarrassment. You had a simple, beautiful concept: navy blue with orange accents, maybe even the light blue accents. And yet NYCFC and Adidas decide to make a ripple effect on the kit like they're playing with some Powerpoint effects from 1995. This is the second year with an...

    The Video Game Thread

    How is the Playstation online network? I was excited about Star Wars Battlefront and thought about upgraded to the PS4 to get it, but I'm skittish about plopping down another 40 bucks to play mostly online if the network doesn't work well.

    Patrick Vieira Appointed As NYCFC Coach

    1) there are hints, but the reports after the fact I'm always skeptical of. Fair to point to Kreis's comments about not wanting to be there, but if that was directed at the DPs, then did Kreis lose them after a month? That was in August. If Kreis did lose them after a month, I think that bodes...

    Patrick Vieira Appointed As NYCFC Coach

    "wasting time here images of running the club." Maybe you should check to make sure you're writing in coherent, much less complete, sentences before you drop the overused cliché burn?

    Patrick Vieira Appointed As NYCFC Coach

    1) What evidence do we have that he lost the locker room? Yes, we had issues in August, but it seemed like Kreis had motivated the team and got some wins against difficult opponents in September. I just don't see the evidence that he lost the locker room. I mean, Pirlo looked like he came over...

    Patrick Vieira Appointed As NYCFC Coach

    Fair rebuke, although I think the reporting of Grant Wahl and Dave Martinez suggested the concern was at CFG about retaining Kreis. I also think that CFG doesn't have a trigger finger (see Pellegrini staying on this year for MCFC) on firing coaches, so their treatment of Kreis is unusual. We...

    Patrick Vieira Appointed As NYCFC Coach

    Our early schedule includes getting 5 points out of 5 matches against the Union and Fire, with draws against the Rapids and Dynamo and a loss to RSL among the non-playoff teams. The wins we got in our hot streak (June 6-July 26) before Pirlo & the others caused the turnover aren't against total...

    Patrick Vieira Appointed As NYCFC Coach

    Getting in better players is a good thing. I have no problem bringing in better players (although I'm not sure that's what actually happened; we'll see). The problem is when that much of the starting lineup is turned over, the precious little chemistry which had been built up over the first few...

    Patrick Vieira Appointed As NYCFC Coach

    That analogy only makes sense if you think Kreis should be expected to have won with the roster CFG within a year handed to him the way one would expect a boyfriend to make a girl happy within in a year. If you think that, you're wrong. Simple as that. All franchises have to build, and you can't...

    Patrick Vieira Appointed As NYCFC Coach

    I don't care about winning matches. I care about trophies. And this club isn't going to do it with this mindset. If it takes a walloping to get out of this mindset, so be it. I don't want to be the Red Bulls, sitting on 20 years without a title.

    Patrick Vieira Appointed As NYCFC Coach

    I'm so disgusted by this. I wish I could go back in time before I became a NYCFC fan so I could tell my former self that CFG was peddling lies about NYCFC not being a farm club and wanting to build the right way. All of the fears and concerns have been confirmed. I don't think I can stop being a...

    New Swag

    By the way, Merritt Paulson (Timbers owner) tweeted out last night confirmation that Adidas has ended third kits league wide. So if you were hoping for a third kit, you're SOL.

    ...so Did Memphis Steal Our Crest?

    The circle looks like a copy. But that interlocking thing is a total mess of a design.

    Angelino Redux

    The notion that Angelino is ready for a more competitive league is laughable. After his first few starts, teams routinely targeted his side of the field, carving up NYCFC like a Thanksgiving turkey, while his offensive contributions were slim to none. I agree he still has potential, but he's...

    Reports are that nycfc shop has been underperforming the preseason targets and so NYCFC is going to sack the NYCFC shop and have the sales be taken over by Man City's EDS shop.

    Kreis Officially Out At NYCFC

    Literally everyone in MLS is outright laughing at how stupid this move is. It demonstrates utter cluelessness not only about MLS and building an expansion team, but at their own total failures in team building. Simply put, you can't overrule a guy about the utter folly of signing Pirlo and then...

    Nycfc Coaching Rumors

    This makes no sense. Hopefully this is something put out by his agent, b/c to fire Kreis, an experienced and successful MLS coach, to bring this guy on is a disaster in waiting.

    Pirlo Considering Juventus Loan In January.

    Good. Give him a nice bottle of wine and send him on his way. His presence is an absolute death knell for a lineup. Our lineups lack offensives explosiveness with him on the field. Send him off, spend money on a strong centerback and other defensive pieces, move Lampard to where Pirlo is, put...

    Looks Like We Are Being Invited To A Northeastern Cup/shield Competition

    Make it the Metropolitan Cup. Everyone loves that name from hockey, right? But seriously, I think it's a good idea.
