THE STARTING 11: Ways to Make The Voyageurs Cup More Popular
The Voyageurs Cup, The Canadian Club Championship, The Tournament Formerly Known as Nutcan; whatever you call this tournament it is Canada’s premier club competition. However, despite the Cup’s prize – a trip to the CONCACAF Champions League and an autographed Edmonton Brickmen jersey – it is a tournament that has issues. The Cup faces a…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Houston
Fucking finally. I mean c’mon. This has taken forever it seems. The club made for parody/television that is Toronto FC has its home opener on mother’s day. And on this mother’s day, I am thankful for how moms can easily compromise for their kids. For example: do brunch and am absolved from dinner. (thanks mom)…

Toronto FC vs Houston Dynamo: After Six Long Months TFC Finally Return Home
Finally! Finally we get to head down to BMO Field – sorry, the newly renovated, improved, shiny, tunnel club having BMO Field – to watch our Reds.

Episode 85: 15/05/06 #YoMommasDay
2 game win streak! A 100 game player! Voyageurs Cup! Home Opener! There’s all sorts of goodness to discuss in this episode and with Duncan returned from Spain, the usual gang get right at it all, with all the usual malarkey flavoured meanderings around it.

THE STARTING 11: Headlines MLSE Will Use To Make Argos To BMO Seem Positive
The day that none of us have been waiting for since 2007 seems likely to be confirmed any moment now (if it hasn’t already by time you read this). BMO Field, Canada’s first “soccer specific” stadium will soon be downgraded to a “soccer first” stadium and then, sometime in the summer of 2016, a “kinda,…

South Couch Report : Philadelphia v Toronto
One game win streak! Hottest club in MLS! Altidore for MVP! Sometimes I just can’t help it. Sometimes it just writes itself. This is the final game of the club made for TV as next weekend is a home game. I miss going out to the park. Misfit football at times, but I love game…

Ashtone Morgan Turns 100: Happy 100 Toronto FC Appearances Ashtone!
It’s fitting in a way, that Ashtone Morgan is the first Toronto FC player to get 100 appearances with the club. Sure there are arguments to be made for others that have served – Stefan Frei, Doneil Henry and Dwayne De Rosario are the ones that gets mentioned the most often – but myself…
