I totally agree with the mounting GW criticism. I just can’t stand it when any coach in any sport publicly criticizes his players. Even if they deserve it, keep it in the locker room. GW is supposedly on a four year plan so I don’t see Paulson brining any pressure until next year. GW’s behavior is more disappointing to me than the teams loses.

Any sense of how long the owner will put up with the utter garbage being produced on the pitch by Gavin’s “tactics”?

Surely it’s affecting the gate numbers. They’re unwatchable at the moment.

I think the comment on “The Original Winger” blog about how Koubourous got hurt is a big disingenuous, since the reason Takayuki fell into him was that Taka was fouled from behind.

But the Timbers hopefully learned a lesson about what a highly motivated and talented team can do, even if they are now only part-time amateurs. Hopefully that will translate into a good performance against Atlanta.

If only a few more Hollywood players had busted their knees the Timbers might have been able to pull out the win.

But seriously, they played well and here’s hoping they stuff the northern stench.
