Do they have all the resources in the world as well as support but just don't ever really win anything significant?  

Well, no. In theory we do. Megarich owner, good location in London, nice stadium (with apartments built into the corner stands!!), and technically the most supported club in London*.

*Everyone in East/North London says Orient are their second team >_>

Good point; Well made.

[MDK]

So what times are kickoff? 

[Meacon Keaton]

We (Philly) play at 3 PM EST, so 8(?) your time.

[MDK]

Nice. We'll beat those Dallas fucks

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, go suck a duck, @Maxx!

[Maxx]

Fuck you cat kicker

[MDK]

Weird. The UK coverage is 30 mins behind. I'm watching the Toronto/Bulls match and on Sky its on late. Huh.

Oh no wait, no it isn't, I'm looking at something else.

Watch your mouth or I'll be coming for your pussy next!

The stones on Giovinco. He just megged someone in the middle and tried to lob the keeper from 50 yards or so.

Alrighty, here we go. Union 2016 Season of Super-Low Expectations begins.

What players should I be looking out for?

Our starting squad is like 65% newbies. Brian Carroll is one of the guys who have been here for a few years. He's an effort guy. Nothing special ability wise, but he'll at least bust his ass. Our captain (usually) is Maurice Edu, who we paid way more than we should have (in my opinion), but he's still banged up and not playing today.

Pontius is a newcomer, but he's had a pretty good career in MLS. Fabinho our left back can show up every now and then, but our backline is almost always atrocious. You'll learn quickly that our defense always sucks, and instead of getting better defenders, our front office just brings in another goalkeeper.  Andre Blake is suppose to be the real deal, though, so we will see. 

Sebastien Le Toux is a club favorite. He's not starting, but will likely come on later. Fun fact: He lives maybe five minutes away from me.

I know about Pontius, Edu and Le Toux.

So far the defense looks leaky as all hell.

[Meacon Keaton]

And that means Blake will be benched and our owners will bring in three keepers that are currently stocking shelves at Walmart.

It's been the same story every year since we came into the league.

[MDK]

Wow, Fabinho has been shite so far

[Meacon Keaton]

He had a nice stop there on that shot, but he wouldn't have had to do that if he wasn't scratching his ass to allow the one-on-one. Turrible.
