Vocal Minority

  • To beat the press, Vanney and TFC starved it.

    Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, won’t be fooled again. Wise words George, wise words. And yet, here I am, after TFC won their season opener away from home for the 3rd year in a row and feeling good. In fact, feeling much better about TFC’s prospects for the year than I…

  • 2016 MLS season preview. Western Conference.

    Continuing my predictions of how the league will work itself out this year. Here’s what I had to say about the Eastern Conference, but now it’s time to go west young man and check out the real contenders. Here’s what I predicted for the west last year, boy was I wrong about Portland, but aside…

  • 2016 MLS Season Preview. Eastern Conference

    Shit, the season’s about to start isn’t it? League wide previews are the thing to do, so I guess I should get on that at some point. Here we go then, starting with the East. As always, this is done with minimal research, just my basic impressions from last season and what off season action…

  • TFC depth vanishing continues. Collen Warner traded to Houston

    So the traditional last minute panic to wrangle TFC’s first team squad into something that fits in with the MLS roster ‘rules’ continues. After the still unofficial waiving of Herculez Gomez yesterday, today came official news of another player being dumped, though this time actually in a trade for something. Collen warner was the latest…

    After an unscheduled week off, we’re back to look over the end of pre-season, the signing of Endoh, predict what will happen this season with TFC  and throughout MLS and much more, including an exclusive look at the new kit before it was revealed, turns out we must have been leaked a fake, and a…

  • Vocal Minority Fantasy league: The Minorityship. Join now.

    Yes, it’s that time again. With the start of the season a week ago, the fantasy competition has also sputtered back into life.  There’s changes, mainly only a 16 player squad rather than 18, and the scoring has changed somehow but I haven’t bothered looking to figure that out. Anyway, doing the whole fantasy team…

  • Tsubasa Endoh’s up with a first team contract.

    All along it seemed like it was going to come down to a battle between Tsubasa Endoh and Mo Babouli for who’d take the 28th and final roster spot for TFC. Yesterday’s release of Luke Moore took some of the pressure off with the team now having the option to choose both of them if…

  • No More Moore at TFC, well, except for Drew of course.

    With preseason drawing to an end and the first game in New York a mere 9 days away, the first team squad is starting to take shape. A bunch of people have been unceremoniously kicked down to TFC II for the season, including comedy named draftees like Wesley Charpie and Darius ‘The’ Madison. Alex Bono…

  • Saturday night’s alright for TFC.

    Been a long time since I’ve written anything really hasn’t it? There’s been no streams to watch, no updates on preseason beyond what the official website’s putting out, still no resolution to the ‘how do we fit under the cap’ question, precious little of the confusion, panic and drama you’d normally associate with a TFC…

  • Episode 125 – 16/02/17 #ArrisonBateau

    TFC are boring!  With pretty much nothing happening with regards to our once interesting club, most of the podcast is spent looking elsewhere. Mark is absent due to pulling his hamstring laughing at the new Crew kit, but the Kit and Stadium podcast carries on without him. Kristin thinks it’d be a great idea to…
