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 out of players, praising others (looking at you Soolsma, Jackson, Gilberto, “The Chad”, the season of six keepers),...

Episode 165 – 16/12/8 #salmonWithABowlCut

The gang is all here, because we wouldn’t miss this one for anything. We cover the absolute maddening classic that was the second leg of the Montreal game, look ahead to a Cup final (I know, right), discuss the frustration of tickets, and much more malarkey. In this episode, Mark is still considering a rival (he’s special like that), Duncan really knows his Toronto rapper people, Kristin hits her microphone, like, five times during...

I genuinely believed three months ago that this team was good enough to “win it all”.  There’s a consistency, resiliency,...

Episode 164 – 16/11/29 #IsItVanneyTacticsNow

The gang is mostly here as Tony secretly enjoys the Grey Cup by himself to review the Montreal game, review the Western Conference final, look ahead to the second leg at home, lament the departure of Jurgen Klinnsman and the usual silliness. In this episode, Kristin is selective with the reigns on the show, Mark chooses an odd time to jump on a bandwagon that is a few months too late, Duncan squats on a #bitchyBlanks answer...

Episode 163 – 18/11/16 #ReadingProgramAfterDark

The gang is three quarters here to look at the ongoings of Canadian football, preview the Western Conference first leg, talk TFC surveys, get excited for the Montreal match and the usual malarkey. In this episode, Mark imagines a multi-Preki universe, Kristin mocks those of us with jobs, and Duncan adds a syllable to the name of a nation. This week’s #bitchyBlank is : The next hire by the CPL will be ______________ Podcast footnote :...
