Whuh? I hope Jimmy has his wife looking after his money because his math is loopy. The odds are against the team big time and having already sacrified all their 9 lives to win the VC, I doubt luck will strike again. This ain't Mark Messier guaranteeing the win and then taking the team on his shoulders and willing them to a win.

Does that mean Jimmy will not be starting at Left Back. Because that would greatly improve our chances.

ArmenJBX

Yup, let's play Fellinga, the young, out of shape Haiti reserve as opposed to a starting Canadian left back with experience.

As much as people don't like him, he's our BEST option.

^ I am not sure if you have heard, but some teams play have been known to use different formations.

Meh, I just don't like people hating on Jimmy B...

See what I did there :D

I do not hate him, I just think that defensively he has slipped. Nothing personal. I think he gave us his all. I also still think that comming forward he bring alot, and crosses better then most on the team.

this is not a smart thing to do,

REPERCUSSIONS:
1) loose fan liking
2) loose captaincy
3) loose spot in line-up
4) pay-check cut

Yea... Ignored logic...

But really, a 3-man backline is all we need.

Although I'd have to say, Brennan wouldn't be the cut, he's a horrible defender.
As bad a Wynne is on D, he has the speed to recover.
Jimmy doesn't, and he's on par (maybe ever so slightly) for Defensive abilities.

Garcia just plain blows. He'd be the one to go.

And Serioux doesn't overtake Brennan due to his temper/control issues

With that said, I've never been a fan of jimmy B on D... I'd prefer him up.

In regards to his comments though, I'd just say this goes to show we need a new captain, as he clearly has no idea what's going on w/ the team.
Maybe the guys have lost him as a leader (assuming that the team as a whole has given on Cummins?)

I think it's great that a significant number of people; logically mostly Ontario, Canadian; say they think it's still likely / possible that Toronto will get into the playoff.
That being said, ask yourself if they have stepped up in the past. Yeah, they teased you for a week in Montreal, but damn; isn't it embarrassing that a USL1 Puerto Rico Team can clearly look more organized than TFC!

joined in 2008 eh... where abouts are you from? noone from Toronto will ever say things like "I think it's great that a significant number of people; logically mostly Ontario, Canadian"

this is not a smart thing to do,

REPERCUSSIONS:
1) loose fan liking
2) loose captaincy
3) loose spot in line-up
4) pay-check cut


REPERCUSSIONS:
1) Gain fan liking for having some balls and fighting to the end
2) On what type of a team would a captain lose his spot for making the comment that his team will succeed against the odds and not give up?
3) Again, read #2
4)Again, read #2

Thank god someone has the balls to say this. Hopefully this gets the boys fired up.

lol, I just skimmed over his remarks and didn't read them fully until you quoted it. Yeah, his logic was clearly flawed. Pay cut? lol

Maybe Guerro would prefer Brennan to pull a Bernd Schuster and gaurentee a loss like he did against Barcelona. Oh....that's right, he got fired right after that.

Hahahaha...I thought the same thing. Memories are short around these parts when we're talking about Captain Canada sometimes.

LOL ... can't really blame him though ... I never really expect any professional player to say anything that they weren't instructed to say by the upper management. Those days are long gone. Now anyone who speaks their mind is immediately suspended or dubbed a cancer by the media.

My head says we're sunk in the play off race, but following TFC is a rollefcoaster at times and I just can't help feeling that we might, however crazy it sounds, pull off a post season berth in dramatic style.

It seems crazy just typing it out, but my gut says we'll make it. *head frowns at gut and overrules*

I listened to the entire interview. Unfortunately, the playoff guarantee came off more of a joke than a genuine guarantee. I know Jimmy B is a pretty big joker but playoff guarantess when you have the odds against you has to come in the right tone.

So, if we don't make the post season will Brennan be stripped of the captaincy and have his contract torn up?
