First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

Re: The Futbol Supporters Thread
No, I know the scores. What I should have asked was did the Germans beat the Spaniards, or did the Spaniards defeat themselves? Talking to others since, they said the Germans simply overpowered the Spanish teams. But Jesus, 4 goals for Dortmund's Lewandowski. Wow.

Re: The Futbol Supporters Thread
Hard to be low key about the future when your team lays out the big money and first takes Obafemi Martins from Levante in La Liga by force (their top scorer) and then follows up even bigger by snatching CLINT FUCKING DEMPSEY from Spurs.
I've had the same stupid smile on my face for 4 days. It's starting to hurt.
Now I've got to go play punk rock. Smiling isn't very punk. Especially "stupid grin" smiling.
One more time: CLINT FUCKING DEMPSEY
SEEEEAAATLLLLE..........SOOOUUUUNNNDERRRRSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: The Futbol Supporters Thread
Ok, so in my last post I was still in the after glow of a Dempsey induced O-face, however, things didn't go quite as expected and not only did we not get past the second round of the playoffs, we got put out by our rivals in that shithole to the south. Our great run of form that pushed us to the top came to a screeching halt and we started gushing goals to the point that our our star Austrian GK, was relieved of duty and 41yr old Marcus Hahnneman took over. We went from "Just win one match to clinch the conference" to "just win one match to hopefully 'back in' to the playoffs in the knockout round" We tanked. Sucked. Screwed the pooch, whatever you want to call it. It ended badly.
Then came the tidal wave of calls for the guillotine and truckloads of pitchforks and/or torches. Our manager, Sigi Schmid survived, but I have a feeling that year is his last chance to make a really solid push to the Cup. If it doesn't happen, especially with the success that the facilities sharing partners Seattle Seahawks have had (SUPERBOWL WIN MOTHERFUCKERS!), he might not ever be seen again.
So, we've retooled. Many long term fan favorites have been moved out to other clubs and Dempsey is on loan to Fulham for our preseason. A host of new players has filled the roster, mostly young players with the "huge potential" tag, but also a couple of MLS veteran starters including big striker Kenny Cooper (I've always liked Cooper) and defender Jalil Anibaba (young, but really strong), vet defender/US Inter Chad Marshall, Forward Chad Barrett (not bad), GK Stefan Frei (also pretty good), forward Tristan Bowen (young, lots o promise), Mid Marco Pappa (Strong - back from LigaMX) and Brazilian trialist Mid Fabio Perreira.
The difference I've noticed so far is in the impression the preseason is creating within the side. The last few years, preseason was denoted by the assessments "We're still looking to build chemistry" or "This thing will come together, it will just take time" or some other horseshit that meant that maybe they didn't get it right from the start, this preseason what I've been hearing is 100% positive. Lots of praise for how the side is working defensively and for the chemistry that seems to have gelled for the players on the pointy end. Martins and Cooper have been on a bit of a tear as a partnership and seem to have developed a good relationship both on and off the pitch.
Oh, and the cancer that is Eddie "Me-J" Johnson is gone from our locker room...HUZZAH! The goals he scored weren't worth the level of "proof of douche" that was reached by him nearly every week. It affected everything.
Preseason is on and so far...looking pretty good.
Here's to more silverware in the case at The Clink at the end of 2014.

Re: The Futbol Supporters Thread
So, what to type in 12 minutes? It's been a long season and the side has played well, we've downed our rivals to the south, won the US Open Cup and the MLS Supporters Shield (for those not in the know, the MLS SS is the equivalent of the League Championship. The regular season winners at the top of the table, we still managed it after a partial collapse which saw a ten point lead, clear at the top of the table reduced to nil) with a #1 seed in the west for the playoffs (means we get to play at home in each 2nd leg of the away/home series). Clint is sitting on 14 goals and Obafemi had 17 for the season in a partnership that was near unstoppable, if not entertaining to watch (Oba's most productive season in any league). We downed FC Dallas in the Semifinals and now will face LA Galaxy in the Western Conference finals in a home and away series to decide who gets to go to the MLS Cup Final. LA is tough, with their retiring (?) Landon Donovan and that summer-saulting Lepredouche Robbie Keane. It's been back and forth between us all season, but when it came down to it, we've come out on top and I expect more of the same in the semi.
If my beloved Sounders can just persevere through these next three games we will have done what no other MLS side ever has; win the Treble.
If I get that and Leeds makes the playoff, I will count 2014 as a banner year in football terms. Both round and throwball.
