EPISODE 58: David Lee is gone and we reacted to it mere minutes after the announcement was made
Full episode includes a full convo on Lee and his NYCFC legacy, what Sporting KC gains, questions that now linger over NYCFC's offseason: bleav.com/shows/hudson...
Just unreal stuff. Thanks for the support!
Episode 50 and oops it's all Leagues Cup
Yes we review all 3 performances in the latest brief/underwhelming midseason tournament run from New York City FC, a Leagues Cup review that includes an instant post-match reaction from the Yankee Stadium press box to the Toluca loss
not this time, our (incorrect) predictions will just hang there in all their shame; it's not quite as bad as when we were predicting they'd get 9 points in a week in which they got only 3
Every time our conversations on the pod lean "positive/everything is great for NYCFC!" they come up with new and surprising ways to fall flat on their faces, it's downright impressive
This was a great interview with a very candid Ronny Deila.
He doesn’t give the typical cookie-cutter answers many former managers may opt for
yep correct on the timing of our recording. Andrés Perea would have to start in his place, is the easiest answer
New episode out now and it's a big one
Ronny Deila joins us to discuss his first game back in New York City as an opposing manager, some of the circumstances around his departure from NYCFC, MLS Cup and other fond NYCFC memories, the new gig with Atlanta United, and more
We record Tuesdays and all our new episodes go live Wednesdays at midnight. Fair to wonder if we/mainly @andrewkleigh.bsky.social summoned that Gabe Segal brace with our predictive podding, or if we just learned from Luis Barraza's recent 6-save clean sheet www.hudsonriverblue.com/hrb-podcast-...
#HudsonRiverDerby Matchday!
We previewed #NYCFC vs #RBNY in part by wondering: Who will bring that extra spice to this latest rivalry game? John Tolkin did it in the past, but who's the Derby's next antagonist?

New episode!
We take our last crack at previewing 2025 for @newyorkcityfc.com and weigh in on what the prediction-making MLS pundits think of the team's chances.
Plus we set the stage for Matchday 1 vs. a partially frozen/thawed-out Inter Miami. Listen here (or wherever you get your podcasts) 🎧 ⤵️
Awesome to join @soccerwisehq.bsky.social and @empiregass.bsky.social to preview the 2025 NYCFC season
Lots of ground covered including the Santi Rodríguez and Christian McFarlane sales, expectations for Pascal Jansen Year 1, an Alonso Martínez goals over/under, + more youtu.be/6gg9sGQED-k?...
We open this week’s episode of @hrbpod.bsky.social with the elephant in the room:
Botafogo have placed a massive bid for Santi Rodriguez, and he hasn’t appeared in any preseason friendlies since
We break down what his departure would mean for #NYCFC and more 👇
podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
🎧🎙️ New Episode: Will Santi Rodríguez stay or will he Botafogo?
We're on high alert for a Santi transfer and spend time unpacking what it will mean for NYCFC if he does leave
Also: Our thoughts on the Excelsior Kit, discussion of big preseason storylines, and a NYCFC midfield preview. Listen ⤵️
David Lee said 1) Three roster spots are open, 2) Transfers are incoming, 3) Just not yet
Is that good enough?
Listen to Ep 24 here or wherever you do you podding:
www.hudsonriverblue.com/hudson-river...
Justin Haak’s role remains the biggest question mark for me b/c it has so many implications on the rest of the squad
Is he the Sands replacement starting at CDM? Or is he the Risa improvement starting at CB?
Or, will he continue to play Swiss Army knife, giving Perea and Risa more minutes? 🤔🤔🤔
Thiago Martins sat out yesterday's friendly and Pascal Jansen played Tanasijević and Risa at CB,w with Haak at CDM
Does that mean Haak will be the new CDM?
@thepigeonsnycfc.bsky.social reads the tea leaves in Ep 24: www.hudsonriverblue.com/hudson-river...
Botafogo in Brazil interested in Santi Rodríguez? Reports indicate they’re submitting a bid, making them the 3rd 🇧🇷 team (+Cruzeiro, Corinthians) said to be interested in NYCFC’s Designated Player
More on the rumors here in our Transfer Tracker: www.hudsonriverblue.com/new-york-cit...
Naturally, League’s Cup qualification will be all the playoff teams, and US Open Cup qual will be the teams that finished the lowest in MLS play
You can get into CCC by being a finalist in seemingly any competition, but devastatingly, you can only play in Canadian Championship if you’re Canadian
Episode 23 is up: We explain how teams were selected for the US Open Cup and Leagues Cup, and why @newyorkcityfc.com are in both
🎧 www.hudsonriverblue.com/hudson-river...
New Episode: The Cups, they're complicated
NYCFC is in Leagues Cup + Open Cup this year, but it's not so simple for the rest of MLS
We get into the new Cup qualification criteria, discuss Christian McFarlane's move to Manchester City, and preview this year's group of NYCFC goalkeepers. Listen🎧 ⤵️
