  • MALIGNANT RUMOUR: Damien Perquis to Toronto FC

    Finally. After what are traditionally the only 2 quiet weeks in the entire MLS calendar (great time to launch a new website eh? we’re geniuses!) and only a couple of TFC stories to follow, the genuinely happy news of Doneil Henry’s transfer to West Ham, and the bitter but necessary following of just where Jermain…

  • THE STARTING 11: Not Entirely Unbelievable 2015 TFC Headline Predictions

    Happy New Year Vocal Minorities! It’s exciting to be back for another year and to bust out the very first Starting 11 of 2015. There’s a dramatic 12 months ahead what with TFC’s 58-match road trip to start the season; the ceremonial gridiron painting as we ready for the Argos in 2016; the Vanney/Bezbatchenko sacking…

  • ‘Enry an Iron, ‘Enry an Iron, ‘Enry, ‘Enry, ‘Enry’s an Iron!

    We all knew this was coming from a few weeks back when Doneil Henry got his work permit for England, a process West Ham were very much involved in, and today it was made official with West Ham announcing his transfer. For anyone hoping that a club from outside MLS might be more forthcoming than…

  • Now That’s What I Call Vocal Minority Podcast: Volume 2

    Our luxurious break from recording continues for another week, but instead, here’s the second volume of our year end best of series.

  • THE STARTING 11: Most Returned Toronto FC Inspired Christmas Gifts

    Sorry fans but that most holy of holy days, ­Boxing Day, ­has come and gone. A big part of celebrating the day when Jesus beat “Smokin’” Joe Frazier for the Heavyweight Title, (My history may be shaky. I drank a lot of egg nog. Sue me.), is collecting your gift receipts and returning those unwanted…

  • Now That’s What I Call Vocal Minority podcast: Volume 1

    We took a break from recording podcasts this week, but that doesn’t mean you get a break from listening, oh no!  Instead feast your ears on this, the first part of our best of compilation, which will probably end up being 3 parts, brought to you this festive season before we get around to recording…

  • Do They Know It’s Beznisstime?

    A Band-Aid for Christmas It’s almost that most special time of year for TFC fans both young and old. Lists have been made, wishes offered up – all there is left to do is wait and see what presents we may get! No I’m not talkin’ about Christmas you greedy so-and-so’s – I’m talkin’ transfer…

  • Leave at the Apollon! Doneil Henry heading to Hammers

    Good news! That Apollon Limassol kit with number 4 and “HENRY” on the back arrived just in time for Christmas! Baaaaad news! Do you like claret and blue instead? In a move so rife with ML-esque style bureaucracy, intrigue and mystery that streetz Don Garber would say “Damn son, dat’s tight” – Toronto FC’s homegrown…

  • THE STARTING 11: Other new buzzwords used during the TFC “vision” meeting

    Late last week, journalists were invited to TFC’s Downsview training facility to be regaled with the current club management’s vision for the future. We aren’t sure if dictionaries were handed out at the door but a lot of really, really big smart-guy words were thrown around to explain away The Reds “just missing out” (My…

  • Forget the results, look at the vision!

    As we all know, yesterday was when Toronto FC outlined it’s ‘vision’ to select media. As a non invitee, I had no choice but to first make fun, (this is practically the Vocal Minority’s hippocratic oath: – ‘First, make fun.’) then sit and wait for the tweets and articles from the poor mopes who’d had…
