    Happy New Year chums! This one will be different surely! It’s the 10th Anniversary of the local footballer club known as The FC’s don’t ya know?! After watching Michael Bradley’s ball drop on New Year’s Eve, TFC did what many did as 2016 dawned – made a host of resolutions. However, it’s already been 10…

  • 2016 MLS Schedule: Get Ready For The Excitement of Wednesdays & Sundays TFC Fans

    Everyone ready to start booking those days off?  A few surprises and maybe less than optimal dates – whee Wednesday and Sunday games – but we do get to finish the season at home which is always kind of cool.  So here we go: TFC play their first eight games on the road, we knew…

  • Do They Know It’s Beznisstime?

    *Editor’s note: Because Kristin had the plague this is up a wee bit late – however, a classic is a classic.  Enjoy!* It’s almost that most special time of year for TFC fans both young and old. Lists have been made, wishes offered up – all there is left to do is wait and see…

  • THE STARTING 11: Returned TFC Christmas Gifts

    Sorry fans but that most holy of holy days,  Boxing Day,  has come and gone. A big part of celebrating the day when Jesus beat “Smokin’” Joe Frazier for the Heavyweight Title, (My history may be shaky. I drank a lot of egg nog. Sue me.), is collecting your gift receipts and returning those unwanted…

  • The Starting 11: Things Toronto has to offer to free agents

    THE STARTING 11: Things Toronto Has to Offer to Free Agents The Off-Season. It’s where Toronto FC are Vikings!

  • VMP Final Countdown: Number 1 – Sebastian Giovinco

    Highest Ranking: 1 Lowest Ranking: 2 Average Ranking: 1.05 Mark: 1. What can only be described as a big money bust, Sebastian Giovinco made his debut in MLS this season to little fanfare and plenty of “who?”.  After struggling in Juventus for much of his professional career, he did what most past-their-prime players do, chase the…

  • VMP Final Countdown: Number 2 – Benoit Cheyrou

    Highest Ranking: 2 Lowest Ranking: 9 Average Ranking: 3.11 Duncan: 3 Benoit Cheyrou was probably my favourite TFC player last year. Sure Giovinco was the more obviously flashy player, and with the goals and assists to back it up, Michael Bradley more all action and Justin Morrow more reliable, but Cheyrou was such a pleasure…

  • THE STARTING 11: TFC Goalkeeping Solutions

    Goalkeepers. Rarely has Toronto FC had one that didn’t depart in odd or controversial circumstances. One wept while only wearing the tiniest of towels. After this season came to a close, most of us expected one of Joe Bendik or Chris Konopka to be jettisoned. So TFC scrapped them both. Ah. Ok then! The “braintrust”…
