  • THE STARTING 11: Reasons The Starting 11 is being continued here

    Hello, I’m Tony Walsh. You may know me from such long-running gags as “Collin Samuel sure is a fatty!”; RVS HSCNVCS; and Jürgen Klinsmann’s kitty-kat friend Karl-Heinz. Yes, for years on the TFC blog The Yorkies, I was responsible for getting your Toronto FC week started in eleven easy steps with The Starting 11. Now,…

  • 3 Drafts, 3 transfer windows, 3 signings, 1 new player. MLS!!!!

    Time to start looking ahead to 2015 with the wide eyed wonder of a child; a fresh start, so many possibilities, just how will it go wrong this time?

    Episode 66 – 14/12/10 #GinAndBruce

    It’s an MLS heavy episode as the usual panel goes over the MLS Cup final, finally agrees to more or less take Landon Donovan seriously for a couple of minutes, thenm gets into the recent trades and the upcoming expansion draft. Kristin tries to pretend her MLS Cup hangover is actually a migraine while the…

  • Kit Nerd Corner : NYCFC home & away

    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. Mark’s away checking out the competition (have you heard we’re award nominated?) Tony…

    Episode 63 – 14/11/19 #TheFullies

    The Post season post mortem continues as the VMP crew takes a closer look at those who toiled in TFC’s midfield last season. Then after the success of the mid season ‘Thirdy awards’it’s the much awaited end of season ‘Fully awards’, best goal, best game, best PR disaster and many many more awards to be…

    Episode 62 – 14/11/13 #RainingMen

    The usual gang is back together for this one and freed from the tyranny of having to watch TFC play, there’s a distinctly giddy end of school feel to it. This is probably the dumbest, silliest, most inappropriate episode yet, covering the end of season press conference stragglers, silly season rumours, the playoffs, and starting…

    Episode 61 – 14/11/05 #FagundezMarryKill

    After a week off, dedication to new health and fitness analytics sees 3 of the 4 back in tip top podcasting shape.
