Sweet home Chicago

By: Sean | July 30th, 2008

simply stand aside and gawp at McBride\'s aerial ferocityOh baby, don’t it feel like heaven right now
don’t it feel like something from a dream …

The Waiting, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

Now, trust me, I’m not one of those people who bought into saving anything for marriage. Disney World sounds like hell to me – standing and waiting for some fun that’s around those 7 stainless-steel bends … ugh.

So, yeah, the waiting has been the hardest part in this McBride-to-Fire saga. Is there even an iota of surprise in the outcome? Barrett, a draft pick and some allocation money for McBride – I think virtually every pundit out there put that out there as a reasonable suggestion six weeks ago.

But that’s all PCBs into the reservoir now. Today’s a happy day – the Fire are unbeaten in five, the local hero is coming home, and all is right in the world. Lovely.

    Best of luck to McBride. Such a cult hero in England and left with many fans. I’ll be watching his Chicago homecoming with interest.
