VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 16 – Benoît Cheyrou
Highest: 10 Lowest: 20 Average ranking: 15.96 Mark: 18 – I feel like this is a bit of a eulogy. Benoit Cheyrou became iconic. He wasn’t here for very long, but his contributions and class were hard to ignore. He came on against Montreal in the semi-finals and ‘saved us all’. And he did. What…

Toronto FC vs New England Revolution ~ June 3rd ~ 730pm ET ~ Gillette Stadium ~ TSN In his most recent column for us, Duane Rollins (Duane’s World! It’s party time, it’s excellent!), called us (and anyone still residing in the cynics circle) out for not embracing the Reds’ current success. And with Toronto FC…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #11: Benoit Cheyrou
Kristin: 6 – Our favourite menacing dock worker – and the most intelligent player on the pitch – the sublime (yes sublime) Cheyrou, our midfield maestro, keeper of the ship during injuries and scorer of the most amazing goal ever.

VMP Final Countdown: Number 2 – Benoit Cheyrou
Highest Ranking: 2 Lowest Ranking: 9 Average Ranking: 3.11 Duncan: 3 Benoit Cheyrou was probably my favourite TFC player last year. Sure Giovinco was the more obviously flashy player, and with the goals and assists to back it up, Michael Bradley more all action and Justin Morrow more reliable, but Cheyrou was such a pleasure…

Toronto FC vs NY Red Bulls: When Is It Time To Start Worrying?
Toronto are coming off a difficult loss, highlighted by a poor defensive effort that is becoming all too familiar, coupled with a lack of finish and creativity.

Toronto FC vs LA Galaxy: Missing Four Starters? Surely the Stars Will Align For A TFC Victory, Right?
That really was three games in eight days wasn’t it? A bit of a whirlwind that saw our Reds come away with only four points out of a possible nine; not exactly the expected result but oddly enough, not terrible either. The NYCFC game was a frustrating result (really they should have adjusted better and…
