THE STARTING 11: Reasons The Starting 11 is being continued here

Hello, I’m Tony Walsh. You may know me from such long-running gags as “Collin Samuel sure is a fatty!”; RVS HSCNVCS; and Jürgen Klinsmann’s kitty-kat friend Karl-Heinz. Yes, for years on the TFC blog The Yorkies, I was responsible for getting your Toronto FC week started in eleven easy steps with The Starting 11. Now, as part of my high-priced transfer deal to The Vocal Minority, The Starting 11 has found its new home right here. It wasn’t an easy decision to bring this long-running bit along with me but some reasons are just too hard to ignore…

1. It’s a realistic shot at making the BMO Field Wall of Honour
2. It was this or “The Starting 10 feat. Drake”
3. How would the world keep track of whether or not Collin Samuel is STILL a fatty?!
4. The next fifteen MLS expansion clubs need fake names!
5. Orlando is a pun-crafters dream
6. My chance to help Columbus mascot Crew Cat spread the important message of Feline STD prevention
7. I have a bunch of leftover vowels after an all-night Scrabble marathon at Raivis Hscanovics’ place
8. I’ve got some comedy gold lined up for Greg Vanney’s July sacking
9. It really is one of the few places a grown-assed man can write the word “Bitchy” and get away with it
10. The International Chip Butty lobby is VERY persuasive
11. Because even if three out of these eleven work – I’m already out-performing TFC
