  • THE STARTING 11: Features On The New TFC Away Kit

    What a load of shirt! It’s that time of year again when MLS clubs unveil the hottest new looks in North American soccer haute couture. It’s like being at a fancy Paris design house – but with more offsides. Many teams have released their new looks as seen here, here and also here – but…

  • Saturday night’s alright for TFC.

    Been a long time since I’ve written anything really hasn’t it? There’s been no streams to watch, no updates on preseason beyond what the official website’s putting out, still no resolution to the ‘how do we fit under the cap’ question, precious little of the confusion, panic and drama you’d normally associate with a TFC…

  • Episode 125 – 16/02/17 #ArrisonBateau

    TFC are boring!  With pretty much nothing happening with regards to our once interesting club, most of the podcast is spent looking elsewhere. Mark is absent due to pulling his hamstring laughing at the new Crew kit, but the Kit and Stadium podcast carries on without him. Kristin thinks it’d be a great idea to…

    Happy Valentine’s Boxing Day everyone! If you’re not lined up outside a big box store awaiting massive bargains on chocolates and stuffed animals, indulge in these romantic aspects of your local ball-kicking lotharios – TFC. 11.

  • THE STARTING 11: Other Ways MLSE Plans To Keep The Pitch Pristine

    In their latest charm offensive to the soccer-lovers in their extended family, MLSE went out of their way to soothe a major fear this week – the BMO Field pitch. The latest chapter in “this Argos thing is no biggie, yo” sees the owners growing extra pitches to be trucked in from a place called…

  • THE STARTING 11: Other TFC # 1 Needs

    Clint Eastwood! That guy’s famous! Clint Irwin is MLS famous so that’s cool too. Just when the search for a # 1 goalkeeper started getting hand-wringingly anxious, TFC pulled off a sweet little deal that saw Mr. Irwin take his place in The Reds’ goal. A good deal in most eyes but while this “#…

  • Episode 121 – 16-01-19 #Stingray

    Well, there was the draft, and Tsubasa Endoh is a malarkey rich name, but what the hell else were we going to talk about? Then TFC came through us for again with the signing of Clint Irwin just hours before recording time, so we talked about that too, as well as random rumours and other…

  • He’s A Keeper! Toronto FC Sign Clint Irwin From The Colorado Rapids

    Well this is a pleasant surprise!  Earlier today Toronto FC announced the rather welcome news that not only had they signed a starting keeper, but that it was a keeper with MLS experience!  And a pretty decent one to boot! Did we mention that he’s not on his last legs career wise either?  All positives…

  • THE STARTING 11: Ways TFC is Turning Japanese

    In the slightly re-arranged words of 80’s “supergroup” The Vapors: “They’re turning Japanese, we think they’re turning Japanese, at least we hope so”. Okay, TFC may not be fully embracing the Land of The Rising Sun quite yet but the 1st Round SuperDrafting of Japan’s own Tsubasa Endoh was manna from podcasting/punning heaven. While the…

  • Episode 120 – 16/01/12 #RodGullet

    We’re back! Yes, it’s the first shiny new podcast of the year where everyone pledges to try and be optimistic and positive and then immediately settles into their usual grumpiness. We discuss the schedule, the SuperDraft and the alarmingly still unresolved goalie situation, as well as receive the welcome Ahmed Kantari news live on air.…
