    The South Couch Report : Dallas v Toronto

    The Part I Write Before The Match : I have to believe that this is the game where we come back down to reality.  I’m not saying that it’s the match where they get hammered into dust, just, you know, lose.  It’s more playing the numbers and the odds rather than a pessimism towards Toronto.…

    The South Stand Report : Toronto v New England

    The Part I Write Before The Match : It’s Pride night.  Still hoping that it’s more than patronizing than the usual ‘theme pandering night’ that takes place. Today has been crap already. It’s humid. It’s raining (as of time of writing this part). There’s an 8pm kick-off. Sucky day so far (with the exception of…
