Episode 434 – 22/12/15 #thanksDad
The gang is all here to talk World Cup quarters, semis and finals, some Toronto FC-related signings and player movements, some #CanPL news and the usual malarkey. In this episode Duncan wants more silly club names, Tony has the jingle for Vancouver FC, Kristin is all INXS lyrics and Mark will find out if DC can find a way to keep Bono on his [swears redacted] line.

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 5 – Alex Bono
Highest: 2 Lowest: 8 Average ranking: 5.4 Kristin: 7 – Damn you Bones, you had to go and be good didn’t you? That may seem like an odd sentiment, but if you follow me or listen to the show then you know of my fondness for Clint Irwin (and yes for Q but I gave up that fight) – Irwin is a more than capable MLS keeper and I was thrilled when TFC snatched him away from the Rapids. Similarly I was sad when Irwin was...
Toronto FC vs Seattle Sounders: Can TFC Keep On Rolling On Short Rest & Missing Key Players?

Kristin: 17 – TFC’s big SuperDraft grab from 2015 – wanders more than I’d like, but settled in and did a good job of subbing in for Irwin. Not a No. 1 keeper yet; but the potential is there. From TFCII to the big leagues in the blink of an eye! That’s basically what happened with Alex Bono this past season. Taken high in the draft (6th) by TFC in 2015, Bono spent the season with TFCII (poor Q,...
Altidore arrives, Chapman signs, 5 get drafted. Busy day for TFC
Well, it was quite the day for Toronto’s squad building attempts, at the DP end, and at the probably USL Pro side as well, one could plausibly call it a SuperDay. First up before all the SuperDraft nonsense (for all the highlights of that, click here.) there was the signing of Jay Chapman. Highly touted young player, who’d have been right up there at the top of the draft, but who was somewhat dubiously granted homegrown...
