  • Toronto 6, Columbus 3. It could happen again.

    Hello there T, F and C fans, how are you feeling? Happy, maybe a bit confused after that whole playoff clinching thing?  Not to worry, MLSE are here to bring you back to reality. Less than 48 hours they gave us before the playoff pricing and 2016 season ticket renewal pricing was dropped.  Depending on…

  • Never mind the playoffs, 2nd place! And beating a good team! With smart tactics no less!

    So then. Playoffs achieved. History made. Mission Accomplished. It’s a weird feeling really, I’m finding it hard to get too excited about this, even last night I couldn’t really get in on the general giddiness, for a couple of reasons really. First up, I’ve been very critical of TFC in many ways, and there are…

  • When the going gets tough: How MLS playoff teams do against other playoff teams.

    So if you’ve in any way been reading or listening to TFC based media in the last few months, or hell, just been watching games and coming to your own conclusions, you’ll have come across what’s rapidly becoming a cliche: TFC can beat the crap teams, but are hopeless when it comes to beating good…

  • MLS Wins and Losses: Week 31

    As always, you can hear this as part of the Vocal Minority Podcast when it comes out later this week. Sigi Schmid’s back! and he’s actually talking about food! A few more teams were eliminated from the playoffs, a few teams clinched a playoff spot this week and overall things are incredibly tight in both…

    The South Couch Report: Toronto vs Philadelphia

    Alright then. Today might be the day. The glorious culmination of 9 seasons of failure, slightly less failure, slightly less failure again, then a lot more failure, then even more failure with the hint of possible success, then just as much failure again, then slightly less failure and slightly less failure again and now here…

  • Episode 107 15/10/01 #Gilberto

    Welcome to our first ever Yorkies free episode as both Mark and Tony have hamstring issues and have to miss this one. Kristin and Duncan bravely soldier on without them, joined by Ian Clarke of Red Nation Online and the East Side Stand Up podcast (twitter him here). They talk about the glories of Gilberto…

  • MLS Wins and Losses: Week 29

    As always you can hear rather than read this on this week’s Vocal Minority Podcast when that comes out. It’s remarkable really just how much farting in elevators that Hauptman does, the man has no shame. Well, it’s a good job TFC won on the weekend as this was a remarkably productive week in the…

  • Toronto FC vs Colorado Rapids. Time to make things count.

    So then, as Toronto were losing to Seattle and New England, the obvious thing to keep reminding yourself of was ‘alright, no need to worry, 4 games coming up against crap teams, TFC can beat the crap teams’. I guess we change that to ‘no need to worry, 3 games against crap teams at home,…

  • Episode 105 – 15/09/15 #YoGotDatRight

    Here we are again to discuss one of the best performances of the year! and lament TFC’s prospects when they get to the playoffs, as well as the Mad Bull and Maestro show and to look forward to the games in New York (Giovinco and Pirlo together again!) and against Colorado. Mark’s hamstring once again…

  • MLS Wins and Losses: Week 28

    As always, you can get the audio version of this in this week’s Vocal Minority Podcast, out later today. We’ll start with the big losers of the week, which is happily Sporting Kansas City. The Sporks got a 0-0 tie in Portland only due to Tim Melia pulling off a bunch of saves, but then…
