    Gotham completes an undefeated month of May by getting 3 points from the first ever meeting of expansion side Bay FC.

    In the news we have, pride raiser, an engagement announcement, how we are going to watch the Liga MX femenil summer cup,

    An episode in three parts. We are going to do a deep dive on the turnaround from a winless April to an undefeated May. There is a lot to discuss including who Gotham FC fans voted as Hero of the month of May.

    Part 2: Question, is Gotham the same high pressing machine they were in 2023 or have they evolved into something different? Perhaps, something scarier? We’ll break down this 2-0 road result against upstart Bay FC and try to figure out the identity of the 2024 Gotham FC?

    Part 3: Then we look forward to the break and compare and contrast where Gotham is in the table compared to last season and see if Gotham is ready for midseason madness.
