  • VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 12 – Eriq Zavaleta

    Highest: 4 Lowest: 18 Average ranking: 12.6 Tony: 11 – It’s not Eriq’s fault who he’s related to! Despite that – he has turned into a very useful MLS defender capable of eating minutes as a starter or offering fresh legs from the bench.  Not spectacular in any way, but rarely hurts you either. We crack…

  • Episode 219 – 18/01/17 #WhoAreYa

    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 13 – Tosaint Ricketts

    Highest: 9 Lowest: 19 Average ranking: 12.92 Kristin: 11 – Tosaint Ricketts!  Fucking Wicked!  I’m a big fan of Ricketts and as I wrote last year, was thrilled when he was signed by Toronto FC last year.  His super sub status propelled him into the top 10 of our countdown and there were high hopes…

  • VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 14 – Nicolas Hasler

    Highest: 8 Lowest: 21 Average ranking: 14.24 Kristin: 15 – Nicolas Hasler – or as I like to call him, Baron von Liechtenstein – was a summer addition to the team in response to the fact that TFC (deepest team ever), still seemed to have no natural back-up at right back for Steven Beitashour (sorry…

  • VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 15 – Nick Hagglund

    Highest: 10 Latest: 20 Average ranking: 14.39 Mark: 15 – Ahh, the Slammin’ Salmon. Everyone’s favourite forward/defender.  Or is he a defender/forward.  Either way, he’s a top guy, who’s had a rough year. The 25 year-old had started the season off strong, making an appearance in every match until the 3-2 win over Minnesota, which…

    Episode 218 – 18/01/12 #tamIsAHat

    We ring in the new year three quarters of the gang and with more rage than anticipated as we discuss the Soccer Canada shuffle, the TFC schedule, a Canadian Premier League announcement and the usual silliness. In this episode Mark cannot stop swearing, Kristin cannot even and Duncan cannot guarantee his attendance at games. Give…

  • 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…

  • VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 18 – Armando Cooper

    Highest: 13 Lowest: 25 Average ranking: 18.04 Mark: 19 – The loan that turned into a stay, and we were still confused by it all.  Armando Cooper signed on at the conclusion of last year’s playoffs, and stuck around for the full ride.  In a word : interesting. Interesting because he started 11 games, but had…

  • VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 19 – Jay Chapman

    Highest: 13 Lowest: 23 Average ranking: 18.09 Duncan: 18 – When thinking about the 2017 season, there are very few things that make me kind of sad. Jay Chapman is one of them.  There was such promise shown in 2016 when he finally got what few of TFC’s lauded academy projects get, consistent playing time.…

  • VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 20 – Clint Irwin

    Highest: 10 Lowest: 24 Average ranking: 19.3 Mark: 16 – The unfortunate situation with our goalkeepers, is that both of them, at the beginning of the season, were largely interchangeable, but I would still favour Irwin as the #1.  He had tons of experience under his belt, and could learn the kid a thing or two…
