MLS Wins and Losses: Week 10
As always, if you want this without all these words and links and stuff, and with interruptions and all the quotes in a Yorkshire accent, the Vocal Minority Podcast is the place for you, this week’s episode should be up tonight before Wednesday’s game. It’s astounding how people outside of Toronto aren’t paying attention to what’s going on in Toronto and wouldn’t you know it, even on this the grandest most revolutionary of...

As always, you can get the audio version of this with interruptions and diversions by listening to this week’s Vocal Minority Podcast, out soon. We’ll start this week with the top of the Eastern conference where the 4 teams who’ve so far shown themselves to be above the desperate scramble for 5th and 6th played against each other this week.

When the bigger and flashier BMO Field and all it’s associated money hoovering clubs, tunnel or otherwise finally opens, the games will come thick and fast. The Voyageurs Cup is a more than respectable reason to have midweek games, and they both take place in May, along with 5 league games....
