    The South Stand Report : Toronto v Montreal

      The Part I Write Before The Match : I’m not going to lie to you, blog and readers, I’m almost idealist about everything with this side.  Tonight could just send me on a footie euphoria bubble that will float away.  It’s crazy to be this optimistic, where “burn it to the ground, start over”…

  • THE STARTING 11: Alternatives To The Name “401 Derby”

    You know what the best part of the “401 Derby” is? It’s just how “401”-nny it is. Also, that it is widely accepted as the name for the Montreal v Toronto fixtures everywhere in North America except for one place – Montreal. Tres LOLZ. However, we pride ourselves on our listening skills and so on…
