The South Stand/Couch Report : Toronto v Seattle, MLS Cup Final edition
Full disclosure : The first part was written before the game, the match report was written while watching the PVR’d version. Pre-Game : Fuck, another match report?!? It’s like the club is trolling me! And for all the hard work I’ve done for this club : making fun of it, mocking it, taking the piss…

The South Couch Report : New York v Toronto, 2nd leg
Well, that’s fucked up. For those that don’t know (doubt it) Montreal has eliminated the Extreme Beverages from the playoffs. What that means is that Toronto would have the second leg IF they advance. And that’s brilliant news. The mouth waters at the thought. So good. On the west coast, as of writing, the Galaxy…
