I just fast forwarded through the telecast after getting home (dork alert!), and if you weren't watching on television, you have to watch and see PV's reactions after the last 3 goals. Love that guy.

We didn't look great but we got the job done. My favorite goal was Shelton's, but the interplay between Villa and Frank on the last goal was awesome too. If Villa had scored the one that went off both posts it would have been amazing.
Highlight of the game was high-fiving Goodfella in the concourse after the first goal.

This.
At 75 minutes we were tied 1-1. Fantastic end, but we would be screaming if the last 15 hadn't gone the way it had.
CLB didn't press. And they are CLB!
I'm not saying we shouldn't be happy as can be right now. I'm celebrating and enjoying it. But I am also reserving judgement about the effectiveness of Lurch, our backline and our system until we see how they do against real competition.
Can't wait until next Sunday.
One thing you can't dismiss based on the aforementioned points is how Lurch positioned himself to stop the obvious shots. It was night and day how much better he was at knowing where the danger would come from and getting there
I realize, it was a low bar. But he looked like an actual professional keeper. First time I've ever seen that from our team.
PV made a rod for his own back. Again, it's why he should have done it way earlier if he were going to ever do it.
I know! I was waiting for it but it never came, although there was a small one that said "Bad Hombres" which I enjoyed. I wonder what happened.
I'm sorry that's not even a gif and I have no idea what's in those text bubbles. This is what i should have posted.

If it lasts over four hours, seek immediate medical attention (or think about baseball or Saunders).
That Lampard pass to Villa for a last ditch attempt at the Golden Boot. Pure teamwork, pure leadership, pure class. Just shows what kind of a team it is behind the scenes.
Mea culpa! My seatmate on the Third Rail board informed me that the call for paint volunteers was actually for a tifo in the works for the home playoff, not tonight. (Still, I don't know why they couldn't have done one of the smaller row-sized ones, at least.)
The other problem with selling Batters eye as level 1. No amenities. I noticed it was empty as hell today. At least 4 of the dedicated season tickets skipped out for their other seats. It's that poor sitting there.
Today was a very dirty game and the ref missed a lot of calls.
- Iraola got wrecked, the foul was called on Columbus but no card.
- A Columbus player shoved themselves into Villa's chest putting him on the floor, something you would see in the NFL, no foul, and no card.
- And Chanot's yellow card is absolute bullshit. Gravity pushes him over the Columbus player. And it was face to boot, not boot to face.

Shocking that Villa shot went double post. Physics says there is no damn way. It was perfectly weighted and had no spin. Just unbelievable.
Absolutely lost it for the second half goals. About as emotional as I've ever got watching this team. So much love.
(That said, anyone else think Pirlo was absolutely shocking today? We looked miles better after he came off)
