South Couch Report: Toronto vs Chicago Fire
The Part I Write Before : Well, that whole penalty shootout thing still feels like a kick in the nuts, but anyone suggesting ‘you threw away a bunch of MLS games for nothing’ is very much wrong, that CCL run was well worth it even without silverware and the club world cup to look forward…

South Couch Report: Toronto vs CD Guadalajara
The part I write before the match: Fuck winter. Yeah, I’m staying home again for this one, biggest game ever or not. I’m done with being cold, and hey it’s tradition now, superstition, the 1 CCL game I went to was the Rapids game when it was relatively warm, and that one ended 0-0, who’d…

South Couch Report: Toronto FC vs Club America
The Part I Write Before The Game: I optimistically bought tickets for this one, but then stupidly went to Saturday’s game and it reminded me of how I don’t like standing out in the cold for hours, and then tonight’s weather forecast got all ‘special weather statement’ and so once again it’s a South Couch…

The South Couch Report: Toronto vs Columbus.
The part I write before the game: South Couch Report? goddamn do you ever go to games any more? Back off, I’m sick (well, more recovering from being sick really, which wasn’t helped by going to Tuesday’s game) and also, fuck you, I went to a game at BMO Field in February! My hardcoriness is…

Is this the real life?
No, it’s just fantasy. Yes, we are once again doing a fantasy league thing, another chance to create a team, impress with a clever team name, make changes week by week and then eventually give up and forget about it 3 weeks in. Pretty much the same format really, the big twist this year is…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 2 – Michael Bradley
Highest: 1 Lowest: 8 Average ranking: 2.52 (*Editor’s note: Bradley & Altidore were tied for average ranking score, but Bradley had more Number 1 votes, therefore he’s in second*) Duncan: 3 Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. What to say about Michael Bradley. I really shouldn’t have let myself get stuck with writing this one as it should be full…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 7 – Drew Moor
Highest: 5 Lowest: 14 Average ranking: 9.12 Duncan: 11 – Bit of a rough year for Drew. Finding out about heart issues can’t be a fun time, and when he got back from that, he never quite looked as good as he did before. Looked just a bit slow which left him having to make last…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 10 – Jonathan Osorio
Highest: 6 Lowest: 13 Average ranking: 10.72 Duncan: 13 – 2016 was an alright year for Osorio, without being the big leap forward we might have hoped for, could that happen in 2017? Not really no. He started the season in the first team, but was in and out as Vanney tried to figure out…

After last week’s momentous news, Mark had to rest his hamstring so is SuperMissing for this SuperEpisode. Tony? well, we’ll let you know when he can make one. Kristin and Duncan bravely soldier on though, helped out by SuperSub Duane Rollins. Nothing big to talk about this week, so instead we talk about a bunch…

VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 17 – Raheem Edwards
Highest: 9 Lowest: 21 Average ranking: 16.04 Duncan: 12 – 2016 saw Edwards barely play, but look really good when he did, so I was thrilled when he started getting minutes early in this season, and then, mainly due to injuries forcing Justin Morrow out of the left back position, continue to get minutes for…
