2016 MLS Season Preview. Eastern Conference
Shit, the season’s about to start isn’t it? League wide previews are the thing to do, so I guess I should get on that at some point. Here we go then, starting with the East. As always, this is done with minimal research, just my basic impressions from last season and what off season action…

Toronto FC vs Chicago Fire: Time To Show This Time It’s Different
No more excuses. That’s it really – Toronto FC are to that part of the schedule that they’ve been holding up and talking about as the fall back for late season disappointments – well here it is, the easy pickings part of the schedule. Although it started out rough with the game against NYCFC, they…

On the cusp of the real season (and the demise of the silly season), the gang discusses the loan out of a TFC legend, the lack of trialists and some stupid, unimportant “who cares”-worthy topics that aren’t even worth talking about… even though they did.

MALIGNANT RUMOUR: Gilberto To Sign With Vasco da Gama?
We all know that it’s just a matter of when, not if, Gilberto is traded away from Toronto FC. Dispense with any thoughts that TFC will pay down his salary with some of their sweet, sweet allocation moneyz; as foolish as this team often is with its money, they’re not that foolish. So unless…
