    The South Couch Report: New England Revolution vs Toronto FC

    Your regular South Couch updater Mark is absent so Duncan again takes the reins from his East Side Couch: Alright then, that glow from those 2 wins wore off pretty quickly didn’t it? Passively sitting back and letting Altidore and Giovinco do their thing isn’t going to win us every game? Who knew? Will Greg…

  • Perquis of death.

    Off season champions! That somewhat overblown claim was mainly based on bringing in Jozy Altidore and Sebastian Giovinco, which seems to have worked out so far, but also partially on the optimistic idea that Toronto FC had also fixed their centre back problems by bringing in Damien Perquis. Of course very few of us had…

  • MLS Wins and Losses: Week 10

    As always, if you want this without all these words and links and stuff, and with interruptions and all the quotes in a Yorkshire accent, the Vocal Minority Podcast is the place for you, this week’s episode should be up tonight before Wednesday’s game. It’s astounding how people outside of Toronto aren’t paying attention to…

    Montreal Impact 1:0 Toronto FC. The East Couch Report:

    For a change, this is Duncan bringing you this report. You’ll see why soon. Voyageurs Cup time. Toronto vs Montreal. All sorts of fun. Or probably not given the lineups. Here’s TFC. The Starting XI: Konopka, Morrow, Hagglund, Zavaleta, Creavalle, Lovitz, Bradley, Warner, Delgado, Osorio, Moore. #TFCLive — Toronto FC (@torontofc) May 6, 2015 Sigh.…

  • Episode 85: 15/05/06 #YoMommasDay

    2 game win streak! A 100 game player! Voyageurs Cup! Home Opener! There’s all sorts of goodness to discuss in this episode and with Duncan returned from Spain, the usual gang get right at it all, with all the usual malarkey flavoured meanderings around it.  The nerds get all excited for Star wars day, while…

  • MLS Wins and Losses. Week 9

    As always, you can get the audio version of this with interruptions and diversions by listening to this week’s Vocal Minority Podcast, out soon. We’ll start this week with the top of the Eastern conference where the 4 teams who’ve so far shown themselves to be above the desperate scramble for 5th and 6th played…

  • FC Dallas 3:2 Toronto FC. Same Tactics, Same Problems, Same Results.

    So then. You’re on a 3 game losing streak, playing away from home, against a team with a point to prove after they just got hammered last week, with a very makeshift defence. Do you maybe try and play it safe to start the game, take the sting out of the energy the opposition starts…

  • MLS Wins and Losses: Week 6.

    Entertainment remained thin on the ground as far as the football goes this week, but let’s dive right in, starting with last week’s big winners, the Vancouver Whitecaps, who had 4 wins out of 5, losing only to the unstoppable juggernaut that is TFC. They played twice, an entertaining midweek game that saw them end…

  • Episode 81: 15/04/09 #RedMoustaches

    It’s Kristin Knowles’ day off, so supersub James Grossi once again fills in to help the rest of the usual crew go over the Chitshow in Chicago and react to the big Man City friendly announcement. They also take at look at just how true some of the cliches developing around TFC’s season so far…

  • TFC ‘Blue Moon’ their supporters, announce friendly against Manchester City.

    It’s a tough schedule Toronto FC have got this year, 7 road games to start the season is already putting them in a hole points wise. When the bigger and flashier BMO Field and all it’s associated money hoovering clubs, tunnel or otherwise finally opens, the games will come thick and fast. The Voyageurs Cup…
