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 Italian Job(s) – Pondering TFC’s Rumoured Italian Interests
“You’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!” – Michael Caine’s character Charlie Croker in the film “The Italian Job” – Most TFC fans two years into the latest MLSE regime change “That’s a spicy rumour!”… And all sorts of other hackneyed Italian stereotypes abound as more winds of change could be wafting through…

Up and Atom! Reds “unveil” Giovinco
Well that was an odd little presser wasn’t it? It wasn’t the dog and pony show of the Jermain Defoe/Michael Bradley event a year ago. It wasn’t the “we gotta clear the room in five minutes for the maid” production they put on for Jozy Altidore a week ago. Actually it wasn’t like many player…

THE STARTING 11: Other new buzzwords used during the TFC “vision” meeting
Late last week, journalists were invited to TFC’s Downsview training facility to be regaled with the current club management’s vision for the future. We aren’t sure if dictionaries were handed out at the door but a lot of really, really big smart-guy words were thrown around to explain away The Reds “just missing out” (My…

Forget the results, look at the vision!
As we all know, yesterday was when Toronto FC outlined it’s ‘vision’ to select media. As a non invitee, I had no choice but to first make fun, (this is practically the Vocal Minority’s hippocratic oath: – ‘First, make fun.’) then sit and wait for the tweets and articles from the poor mopes who’d had…
