You’ll never catch me! CAW!

Happy New Year Vocal Minorities! It’s exciting to be back for another year and to bust out the very first Starting 11 of 2015. There’s a dramatic 12 months ahead what with TFC’s 58-match road trip to start the season; the ceremonial gridiron painting as we ready for the Argos in 2016; the Vanney/Bezbatchenko sacking sometime in… Let’s say July; and of course… almost making the playoffs! Wheeeee! Of course we wouldn’t be the intrepid “journalists” you know and tolerate without trying to predict a few TFC headlines for 2015 and while these won’t all come true, would you be that shocked if some did?

  1. I was laughing until the final one, at which point I crashed painfully back into reality. Cheers Tony!

    • Yeah, that one’s all too obvious and real really isn’t it.

      • I maintain The Starting 11 is primarily a hard news source.
