It feels like we've been here before as the Union host New England in the first game of a best-of-three series in the first round of the MLS Cup Playoffs. (That sentence seems to run on for almost as long as this season feels.) The AMPU crew sees some positive familiarities: tactical lineups, scoring, and on-field hustle. But they see some other not-so-positive familiarities, too: injured players, yellow cards, and frustrating playoff schedules. But Paul, C, and E take it all in stride as they consider the Sophie's choice between the Dallas Cowboys and NYRB, propose a Sébastien Le Toux and Jason Kelce line of action figures, and salivate over one of the best named derbies of all time.
Anything different is good.

Frustration and fatigue are on the menu for the AMPU crew this week as they look back on the last regular season game as well as the overall arc of the season itself. And this reflection leads the gang down a path bogged in frustration with refs' calls, shaky lineups, overcrowded fixtures, and ever-changing and poorly designed playoff schedules. But as usual, levity still manages to weave its way in and Paul, C, and E brainstorm possible post-Union career plans for Bedoya, develop the LeToux-Martinez scale for quantifying players' on-field temperaments, and hope that the playoffs will awaken the team that we know the Union can be...
..."as I thought to myself well here we go again."

The off-week provides some respite for the Union and the AMPU crew, but does little to dispel the lingering clouds of uncertainty as the final game of the regular season approaches. The gang considers some of the big questions: Will the Union hold on to 3rd place? Is there any chance of new contracts for Bedoya and Wagner? Can Spam effectively be used to improve our brand? Also, Paul and E test their Union knowledge in C's Trivia Crucible. So many unanswered questions!
What condition is our condition in?

Returning from an unintentional break, Paul, C, and E have their hands full with a healthy backlog of games and team news to discuss. As the Union gear up to play their last game of the regular season and prepare for the coming playoffs, the AMPU crew reflects on the possible final appearances of Bedoya and Wagner, pitches a unique podcast idea involving Glesnes and airplanes, and describes what it's like to follow a soccer game at Prince's house.
The sooner we get behind, the sooner we can get caught up.

The Union host both LA FC and Dallas FC this week and, against all sage advice, Paul and E fly tandem without the steady guidance of C. Discussions include: not doing homework, hiring acting coaches to the team staff, and the debut of the Delco Tourism Council. And, yes, that was Gazdag's goal that was disallowed.

The Union produce mirror-image results as they face off against opponents with near mirror-image names: FC Cincinnati and Charlotte FC. And while the results of these two games may look the same, the events that transpire on the field are practical inverses of each other: failure and success, loss and redemption. And amongst all the parallels and paradoxes, the AMPU crew marvel at Gazdag's zen-like PK skills, celebrate Glesnes' record, and plant the seeds of a new trophy competition: the Stinger Shield.
Thanks for hanging in there with us. To paraphrase Ted Lasso: We appreciate you.

The international break provides a welcome respite this week, both for the Union as well as Paul, C, and E. As a result, the AMPU crew discusses potential player moves, the health of the team, and how the Union are positioned for the final stretch of the regular season. Also, German medical treatments are considered, hats are tipped to St. Louis, and Ray Gaddis is equated to Tom Hanks.
Like a good Cincinnati chili, there are plenty of options this week!

The Union see red this week as they travel north to take on Toronto FC and then return to Subaru Park to face off against NYRB. Meanwhile, the AMPU crew reflect on the stories of loss and redemption, unappetizing fashion choices, and effective timing of goals.
Choose happiness!

The Union mount up and hit the road as they take on DC United. Back at the ranch, the AMPU crew celebrate the return of the Triangle of Death, discuss new and broken club records, and workshop a sitcom starring Andre Blake and Sébastien Le Toux.

Awakening from the surreal conclusion of Leagues Cup, the Union learn some painful but valuable lessons as they return to the waking world of the regular MLS season. Meanwhile, the AMPU crew put into practice the axiom "Pain shared is pain divided, joy shared is joy multiplied" as they recount the Union's Leagues Cup run. And with the recent seismic forces reverberating through the league, Paul, C, and E ponder what the future of MLS may look like.
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
and Robin shall restore amends.
