Wait wait wait wait excuse me Bobby, what the fuck?

“Wait guys, are we sure that NYCFC is any good?” - basically his point on any discussion
With two hands up like stops signs as he leans back and rolls his eyes
Every time you think you can’t reach your goals, remember that this chucklehead gets paid for this wonderful analysis.
I figured his wish for NYC would be a Top 5 player at any position since apparently we don’t have one.
I don't think there's some clever hook you're missing. It's all on the surface. Warshaw could have said we should wish for a world class scorer to replace Villa, or someone as good as Herrera to boss the midfield, or that Torrent is more successful with a full preseason, but he decided to whine that the team didn't keep Villa around for the benefit of generic MLS fans who just want special players in the league regardless of whether it's the best use of a DP roster spot for NYCFC.
My wish for NYCFC is for our fans to stop being triggered by Bobby Warshaw and / or MLS "media".
ETA - they're really not all that knowledgeable or rigorous and their incentives are slightly different to independent media.
Changing the subject a bit...
I checked into my hotel room in Buenos Aires this afternoon wearing my 2015 second top. The guys at the desk both immediately called it out. NYC Soccer! I said “Yeah, Maxi Moralez!” But all they wanted to talk about was Villa, then Pirlo. They didnt know that Villa had moved on and their faces fell when I told them. They knew how much he meant to the team. I don't think they could begin to comprehend how much more valuable Maxi has been in this league than Pirlo was. They mostly seemed amused at how short he was, which I thought was interesting given that we are in the land of Maradona (and Messi).
Anyway, it was a depressing reminder of what we've lost. It is still early in the offseason and I’m not one who expects the FO to show their hand. I just hope they have one.
Feliz Año, everyone!

Last night I was at a family New Year’s Eve party. There is dancing for the kids and a balloon & confetti drop at the reasonable hour of 9pm.
Anyway, the last song they played before the countdown and balloons was “Hey Baby”.
I am taking that as a good sign for us in 2019.

Sad news, but my question is does
Revfugee have an alibi?

Alibi? I was camped out front trying to get an autograph. I threw myself across the bastard’s path amd he knocked me cold.Absolutely heartless,
But seriously, based on the Copa Libertadores fiasco, what I’ve seen here, and on Schelotto’s escape to LA, this place seems ripe for an MLS talent drain.
Went to the Chelsea match tonight. Giroud, Fabregas, Barkley (plus Hazard, Morota, Willian) all gone this summer.
Too bad we won’t spend money.
