    12:43am Insomnia

    Can’t sleep…. How about you? We don’t typically do match reports, or in depth match analysis. We kinda leave that to the Grant Wahl wannabes. But I think right now we can make an exception to the rule. Holy fuck what a goal. Games are coming think and fast and I had the privilege of…

  • Monday Morning Quarterback

    It was a question I quietly posed to myself in Oklahoma City; I kept it somewhat to myself and my immediate circle. “What exactly is Mike Ambersley doing on the right wing? Especially trying to track back against that wind in the first half.” Again against Tulsa, with younger legs on the bench, Ambo started…

    The Kit

    When Eric Cantona went ballistic in January 1995, kicking out at a Crystal Palace fan after being sent off at Selhurst Park.

    Preseason Musings

    I looked through my “Facebook memories” a lot recently. Many throwbacks to player signings from last year, standing on the Berm freezing to death and the general feeling of excitement that came with our inaugural year.

  • Gateway to the West

    So that’s it then, the announcement we all knew was coming has been made official. Instead of looking east towards the soccer hotbeds of Harrisburg and Wilmington, we instead turn our attention in the same manner of Lewis and Clark and look forward to the Pacific ocean. What exactly does that entail? For us fans…

    Chad Bond joins Saint Louis FC

    We said it a few times on the podcast, we are a few players short from being really good. A couple of proven producers in this league and we can seriously think about competing. With that, we can definitely welcome Chad Bond to the fold. Chad was 4th in the league’s standings for assists last…

    Thank you Mike

    “I am very thankful for the opportunity to be apart of the inaugural season with my hometown team STLFC. Even though our record was below .500 and we missed the playoffs, our fans were always behind us and supported us and that is why they are the best fans in the league. I wish the…

    A Celebration of Supporter Groups Culture

    The game didn’t really mean anything in the grand scheme of things. The Saint Louis FC season winding down without playoff contention and Louisville City already having secured the playoff bye after finishing the league in second place behind Rochester Rhinos. The game became a celebration of the season, a party to finish the year…
