Kit Nerd Corner : NYCFC home & away
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. New York City FC home In a nutshell : boring, not terrible. The kit feels like it falls out of a catalogue with noticeable exceptions on the sleeves where the colour coded MLS badges will be affixed. That may be standard but they seek to…

SOUTH COUCH REPORT : MLS Cup Final… or Can’t Both Teams Lose?
Only in North America can you have a summer game’s title match in December. Thankfully, or unfortunately (depending in your levels of schadenfreude), that game is taking place in Los Angeles. Today, the MLS Cup final pits New England against the Galaxy and I almost don’t care except I openly hopped on the Lee Nguyen…

Episode 64 – 14/11/26 #NeverForgetToVoteForUs
The season review just won’t die as this week we cast our jaded eye at the forwards. We also look at the new USL Pro team, the latest Red, dispersal draftee Marco Delgado, and all the usual nonsense you’ve come to expect.

Episode 60 – 14/10/23 #notKidFriendly
Well the way things have been spiraling, one of these episodes was going to wear out the censor (or the refusal to censor every m***erf**king swear) and this time it was it. In this episode, Duncan can only express himself creatively using the word f***, Mark loses his s**t over a song, Kristin looks like…

Episode 59 – 14/10/16 #PostMortemTimeAgain
It’s not often the gang would tell Monty Python to ‘stick it’, but eight seasons in makes it difficult to look on the bright side of life. In this episode, James amputates someone else’s animal call, Kristin performs the autopsy of two corpses of matches, Mark euthanizes his disdain for officials and Tony gives us…

Episode 58 – 14/10/07 #StarboardBow
Everyone is back and accounted for, somehow, and the gang regretfully reviews the LA Galaxy game as well as look ahead to critical matches with Houston and New York Red Bulls.

Episode 57 – 14/10/01 #Comeback
Call it a comeback. By TFC and also by Kristin who has escaped from Vancouver and makes a triumphant hosting return. Mark is back from England, and was expected to make his own comeback but had to withdraw due to an ‘unexpected’ injury re-occurence. So it’s another three person podcast (tri-pod?), reviewing the Portland game,…

Episode 55 – 14/09/18 #Dramadome
Well, it’s back into the dramadome as everyone gets their message out there again this week. Mark’s in London searching for Jermain Defoe, with mixed (drinks) results, but the gang dissect the latest Leiwekeleak (tm’d btw Toronto Sun!) as well as Nelson and Bez’s words, while also reviewing the Chicago game and practically guaranteeing a…
