MALIGNANT RUMOUR: Robin Fraser to be Toronto FC assistant coach?

Big day yesterday in TFC world. We got the actual news of Stuart Neely returning to the club in the academy, which is a good sign of things improving, though not something that will have an immediate impact. There was also rumours of the club going after Damien Perquis, which may or may not happen, and may or may not be a good thing if it does, but hey, rumours are fun.

Kristin tries to pretend her MLS Cup hangover is actually a migraine while the rest of us sometimes remember to to be quieter than normal, sometimes don’t. Duncan describes the G spot, Tony’s...
