  • Making a Mountain Out of an Anthill: Five Keys to Giovinco’s TFC Success

      The jewel of Toronto FC’s off-season manoeuvres has barely had time to plant his tiny feet on the frozen tundra that is his new home but it is already time to look forward. While the pomp and circumstance of the club’s manufactured airport greeting (after what we assume was a comfortable L’il Alitalia flight),…

  • MASCOT HYSTERIA: Cozmo v Roelio

    Welcome back all fans of plush pugilism for the latest round of Mascot Hysteria! This is the destination for football fans that have an unquenchable desire to see the planet’s fuzziest, googly-eye-iest and often mentally unstable mascots do battle in a head-to-whatever-the-other-one-has matchup. After last week’s debut round, we have crowned our first Mascot Hysteria…

  • THE STARTING 11: Differences if Toronto FC camp was an actual camp

    Toronto FC has often been accused of being a country club, but what about a summer camp? With The Reds fully settled in their pre-season camp on the shores of Lake VanneySacka, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like if our “Meatballs” of a football club were instead running an actual summer…

  • Atomic Ant Marches In Early: Giovinco to TFC for the start of the season.

    This should come as no surprise to anyone really. There has been plenty of talk recently of Toronto FC ‘hoping’ to have Sebastian Giovinco in Toronto as soon as possible, of Giovinco’s agent in talks with Juventus about getting him out of his contract. Also, the talk at the press conference announcing his signing was of…

  • Chey-what? Benoit Cheyrou signed up by TFC

    EDIT: This was written when it was just a rumour, merely a twinkle in John Molinaro’s eye. It’s now official, see tweets below. Sacre rouge! It looks like Toronto FC may be in the midst of a mini-French Revolution with the club linked with midfielder Benoit Cheyrou by Sportsnet’s John Molinaro. The 33-year-old who has…

  • 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…

  • Wet Wiedeman Is No More: Andrew Wiedeman Signs With Ottawa Fury FC

    It’s truly over – #WetWiedeman will be seen no more at BMO Field for Toronto FC.  Sigh.  What?  I can mourn the loss of my favourite hashtag creation can’t I? Andrew Wiedeman was one of the first players that TFC released after the season ended and instead of trying to catch on with another MLS…

  • Où est la pizzeria? Dominic Oduro Traded Dans L’Impact

    It wasn’t quite as #inhumane as the last time Toronto FC traded a winger to our bitter rival but the devastating effects on Toronto-area pizza establishments will be immeasurable. #NeverForgetPizza Yes, TFC has indeed delivered (no word if it was 30 minutes or free) the fleet-footed, pepperoni gobbling, wacky hair enthusiast Dominic Oduro to The…

  • LETTERS FROM CAMP: Zavaleta in, Gilberto probably out.

    Finally it’s here, the first day of camp, a time to be all excited about re-uniting with old friends and making new ones. To be wide eyed at the thought of the amazing adventures that everyone’s going to have together, whilst being apprehensive of the challenges that are sure to come as we all head…

  • Toronto FC officially sign Damien Perquis

    We have another new player in through the revolving door, as this morning the signing of Damien Perquis was announced by Toronto FC. Unlike Jozy Altidore or Giovinco, there was no great ceremony to this one, merely a press release, an article on the website and a photo of him holding up the shirt (number…
