------"I say, one does get tired of invading Columbus every year!"
Yesterday being Groundhog Day (no word if Mo Johnston saw his shadow) it comes as no surprise that TFC will wake up to Columbus Crew ("I Got Crew Babe") once again this season. Most supporters already knew that The Reds were opening in The Mid-Ohio Riviera, as MLS still tries to shove false rivalry down our throats, but Wednesday saw the league release the rest of the 2010 fixture list.

------------------"Hang on there Punxsutawney Preki!"
At the beginning of every February, people eagerly watch on as a ginger coloured rodent appears after a long winter of hibernating and doing very little. His rare post-slumber appearance is said to signal whether better days are ahead or if long, dark, miserable suffering will continue. Click to continue reading...

------------------"I once bargained an agreement thiiiis big!"
Signs of intelligent life indeed exist within the ranks of Major League Soccer's ownership and players' union. The two sides today have agreed to continue negotiating on a new collective bargaining agreement until at least February 12th. Click to continue reading...

Much like the corn sprouts in the summer, January means Farmer Mo is out harvesting his crop of trialists for TFC training camp. The supporters get excited over the possibilities like Jorge Andrade and Ibrahim Said even if past crops such as Kiki Musampa withered in the Florida sun. The anticipation is on both sides however, the trialists themselves usually come to Toronto with little knowledge of the city or the club. Click to continue reading...

----------------------------"Do I look good in red?"
Rumours are swirling around the big smoke today that Toronto FC are willing to offer a trial to former Portuguese international defender Jorge Andrade. The hulking 31 year old, 6-Foot central defender has had a very solid career with Porto, Deportivo La Coruna and most recently Juventus but had his success cut short by a crippling knee injury.

Mo Johnston did the improbable but necessary today by adding some much needed depth to the Toronto FC squad. TFC brings in midfield utility player Jacob Peterson from Colorado Rapids in exchange for the mystery which is allocation money. The 23 year old American made 23 appearances for Rapids in 2009 scoring 2 goals and grabbing 2 assists in 12 starts for the Maroons. Click to continue reading...

In a little more than a week Major League Soccer and its clubs may take the foolish step of locking out its players. Negotiations on a new CBA are continuing between the league and the players' union but things haven't been too positive yet. If there is a lockout, it could mean a lengthy delay to the 2010 MLS season. Click to continue reading...

In just under two weeks from now, there is a good possibility that Major League Soccer and its clubs will formally lockout their players. The current Collective Bargaining Agreement expires on January 31st and without a new deal, the ownership and league will likely take the lockout route. Click to continue reading...

-------------------------------Hark, it's Herold.
Either Mo Johnston has got a lot of irons in the fire or TFC supporters are seeing piece # 1 in "The All-New and Improved Mo Johnston 10 Year Plan". Mo, not unsurprisingly, was unable to make any moves to grab a first round pick and had to settle for the lowly 24th and 53rd picks. Click to continue reading...

While on his way to Philadelphia to attend this year's SuperDraft, TFC Director of Football Mo Johnston will likely be stopping by a leper colony to do some healing as well as turning some water into wine on the flight. That is the level of miracle many TFC supporters are expecting before the draft begins as hopes are high that the ever humble Scot will be able to deal for a high pick. Click to continue reading...

------------------------------Like father, like son?
Mo Johnston must have the shakes and the cold sweats right now. The Scot has many detractors but those who do back him use his record in the MLS SuperDraft as a defence. However, with a few days to go before the 2010 draft, where he is supposed to show his wily eye for talent, Johnston and his TFC "backroom" (about two guys and a some NCAA DVD's) do not have a first round pick and only a couple of late choices at their disposal.

Most of the industrialized world has been in the grip of a harsh recession for the last couple of years and things aren't turning around yet. Jobs have been lost, people are losing their homes ... no one will pay Portsmouth FC's player's wages - the horror of it all! Well, Major League Soccer itself is far from immune.

Around the holiday season, television is full of long in-depth documentaries about the natural world. You know the type - some David Attenborough wannabe hiding in the bushes while chimps smell their hindquarters in the distance. Gripping monkey action.
Well as a post-holiday treat we bring you another hard-hitting, likely award winning, up close and personal look at the wildlife that lives within the dangerous confines of BMO Field's terraces. Click to continue reading...

Well 2010 is upon us. It's the future ya know?! Another year without jetpacks, flying cars and Roy Scheider isn't any closer to Jupiter, God rest his soul. Oh well, at least football still exists... until the robot uprising of course. Then it will all be Chelsea Robotics and their rich Robo-Owner "AbramoBot" buying all the best robots from around the world. Click to continue reading...

------------------------The coveted Graham Legatt Trophy
The TFC Media League has come to an end as 2009 draws to a close. For those of you who may not have followed the race, The Yorkies' TFC Media League is a competition to track which of Toronto's main media outlets best covers Toronto FC through the year. Click to continue reading...
