The Legend of Maxime / Ep 425 / Blue City Radio

Leave a comment

Episode 425:

I’m a little confused about what to write. There’s a sense of disbelief about the announcement from today. It’s a sensation we all recognize. That pause when we ask ourselves, “Is this really happening?”

Yes, the longest tenured player for NYCFC has abruptly left the club to return to Corsica. Just shy of his 200th appearance for the club, Maxime Chanot made the difficult decision to go home.

Few can fault his logic, but the criticism is evident for Nick Cushing and David Lee, if Maxime’s decision was influenced by the culture in the locker room.

This week Mike, J.R. and Mike Allen get into the rumors that are now official. They also talk about Messi’s trip to NJ and recap the 3-0 loss away in Cincinatti.

Episode 424:

Mike Allen returns to the NYCFC press box and to Blue City Radio. The relationship between Mike and NYCFC head coach, Nick Cushing, has improved greatly since the last time the two met tet-a-tet in the Citi Field press conference room, but the results are eerily similar.

NYCFC continues to get the chances and shots, but this continues to be the season of “almost moments”. As the final nine games approach and the magic number for making the playoffs looms, the team is in desperate need of a breakout moment.

This week Mike Anderer and Mike Allen look back on the disappointing result from Sunday and the key choices from Cushing that might be impacting the results on the field.

Hanging With the City Boys / Ep 422 / Blue City Radio

Episode 422:

You’re not dreaming. NYCFC actually thumped an opponent. Granted it was Toronto, but former NYCFC captain, Sean Johnson, was in net for the Reds, so the level of enjoyment is high. The victory also meant that NYCFC should advance in the Leagues Cup, which they did after Atlas defeated Toronto on Sunday.

This week Mike Anderer and Mike Allen welcome Danny and Javier Gutierrez from The City Boys Podcast to the show. Together they breakdown last week’s victory and talk about the new players joining the squad.
