The South Stand/Couch Report : Toronto v Seattle, MLS Cup Final edition
Full disclosure : The first part was written before the game, the match report was written while watching the PVR’d version. Pre-Game : Fuck, another match report?!? It’s like the club is trolling me! And for all the hard work I’ve done for this club : making fun of it, mocking it, taking the piss…

Episode 165 – 16/12/8 #salmonWithABowlCut
The gang is all here, because we wouldn’t miss this one for anything. We cover the absolute maddening classic that was the second leg of the Montreal game, look ahead to a Cup final (I know, right), discuss the frustration of tickets, and much more malarkey. In this episode, Mark is still considering a rival…

Toronto FC vs Seattle Sounders: A Visual Guide
In the lead-up to this weekend’s MLS Cup Final between Toronto FC and the Seattle Sounders there’s been several visual representations of the various one on one player battles.

I was wrong.
I was wrong. There, I said it. It’s been a generally good season, a great playoff run, and probably the most dramatic 2 legged series I’ve ever seen, certainly the best I’ve attended, so it may be time to let go of some of my long held beliefs about many people and things in TFC…

THE STARTING 11: Other TFC Superstitions
In a week of good vibes in TFC Land we don’t want to dwell on the somewhat negative effect the MLS Cup ticket situation had on many fans. It sucked for some and the league should know better. A funny aside of the episode however was TFC staff’s explanation that they didn’t want to discuss…

Feeling warm and fuzzy? Surprise, here’s TFC and MLS to take care of that for you.
So, Wednesday night was awesome, the playoffs have been great, hell most of the season has been very very good on the pitch. Even off the pitch, things are much better, there’s very few really annoying decisions, playoff pricing and season seat renewal were reasonable, they took the Voyageurs Cup seriously, didn’t play a friendly,…

Toronto FC 5: 2 Montreal Impact. The South Stand Report 2: The reportening!
I’m a bit too stunned from it all still to put this together into any kind of well crafted narrative, so instead here’s a more or less chronological word vomit on my thoughts and feeling around an absolutely fucking ridiculous game. Mark’s report started with “I’m not about to write anything you haven’t already heard…

The South Stand Report : Toronto v Montreal, 2nd leg
I’m not about to write anything you haven’t already heard or don’t already know. You know what happened. You know. It’s been a blur. It’s incredible. This is still bonus time. I just wanted one home playoff game. Just one, and I’d be happy. Everything else is bonus time. Now we’re on the cusp of…

Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact: Eastern Conference Final Leg 2 – Aaaahhhhhh!!!
Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact ~ 7pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN Anxiety level: High That’s it really – the excitement, the nerves, the ANXIETY! But at the same time I’m strangely relaxed – tonight’s game (historic, one of the games we’ve longed for the past 10 seasons, etc) is much more than…
Work in progress…
