wow 2016 and things are looking up --- come on you reds lets go
Once again Gareth Wheeler fuck you. It is funny, that when we were trully shite at the beggining of the season, many said nothing. Now that we are decent, but it trouble due to the ass poor start, particullarly in light that we were dropping major points at home, everyone wakes, up. Wow, no shit Wheeler Madrid is way better then TFC, next thing you will tell me Chelsea, United and Inter may be able to beat us as well. You do not say.
^I'm not sure it was a "poor start" - it just looked that way because we thought we should be able to beat LA and Seattle. But those turned out to be better teams.
We've never been good all year. We've beaten teams that trail us in the standings, but what is that telling anybody? Only that we're not a crappy team.
We've been the dictionary definition of mediocre, right from the first whistle in March. Going to have to beat a whole whack of better teams now....

I don't really see much wrong with that article, other than this comment :
Well, that's the media's job, eh ? So perhaps turn that accusing finger back upon yourself.Last week, TFC should have been taken to the ringer for bowing out of the CONCACAF Champions League. Instead, the coverage was all about Real Madrid -- a convenient distraction.
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
I've never written to a columnist before, but this is what I just fired off:

It doesn't even say anything.
You need a blog, not a newspaper. Unless you actually have something to report, you're just a pundit. And that makes you nothing.
^ hey, I'm a pundit
TFC under Carver:
11-16-12 in all competitions (GD -11)
TFC under Cummins:
9-7-5 in all competitions (GD +3)
TFC is much better under Cummins, the stats don't lie. However, we are being punished for our poor start to the season under Carver.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
I wouldn't say losing to the Puerto Rico Islanders was embarassing. Disapointing surely, but not embarassing.
I wish Gary Loewen of the Sun was still on vacation - while he was away, Wheeler was taken off the TFC beat, and given Loewen's comic relief column. Loewen is funnier than Wheeler, though.
Agreed, and I think a substantial amount of people would agree with Wheeler's critique. Many of us have criticised the same points he made, I think it just hurts a bit more when it is someone else doing it rather than us. Kind of like you can push around your younger brother and don't feel bad about it, but if someone else does it you stand up for himOriginally Posted by redcard
Yeah sorry, I just felt like going for the low blow.^ hey, I'm a pundit
Main problem with Cummins is the same as Carver, he doest understand the value of Dichio, case and point: 2 mins after Dichio comes on in the Madrid game, he creates our only goal by disrupting the defender and allowed White to have a shot on net. He also had our best chances against the islanders in both games after he came on late
you guys have to be joking here... TFC is ASS, pure ASS... Mo has to go!, Cummins has to go!!!! the players need to be threatened with job security.... This article is correct in that our loss in CONCACAF was blown off the front page and INTENTIONALLY distracted by the Real game. Stop making excuses for your girlfriend's bad breath!! this team sucks bad and you know it... you do... I don't caree what positive things you can say.. this team really sucks ass!!! BAD!!
I'm sorry people but we should be happy a major daily in our city has a guy writing that actualy knows the game, having played soccer at the youth and college level. Wheeler knows the game,unlike most of these other writers who would not know the difference between a free kick and a penalty kick, because he knows the game he will be critical when he has to be and know what he is talking about,he will ask the tough questions that need to be answered. Many of these other writers never seem to be critical because they don't know the game and secondly could care less about the team. We need more writers like Wheeler writing about soccer,people that know the game and care about the game and will be critical when things are not going right.
The embarrassing thing is the fact we couldn't score a goal against them. We should have had at least a goal in each game.
Great article by Wheeler...
Guys stop hating... HE was right on with ALL he said. and our standings proove his point...

I'm with Wheeler on this one... It might hurt to see the truth in black and white, but it doesn't make it any less true...
Toronto 'til I die although still a Leeds fan at heart...
Honestly, despite my previous post (which was partly tongue-in-cheek), I don't have such a problem with Wheeler. Other than the hatchet job he did post-Columbus, he really hasn't done a bad job at covering the team at all.
It's killing me that Wheeler is putting out better articles. I want to ignore him but lately, he's one of the few (along with Bill Lankhoff) that are actually talking about the real issues of this team.
If we are soooo bad what are New York and San Jose? I don't know guys, but a win on on Saturday and TFC is 3rd in the east... not exactly the end of the fucking world is it?
Calm down.
yep, I'm with ya ... I have taken issue with a number of Wheeler's articles but I think his points in this one are dead on.
Right now we are out of a playoff spot with New England and Chivas behind us with 2 games in hand and DC playing most of their games at home whereas after this weekend we have 2 more games at home out of 9. If there is no sense of urgency now...I don't know when there would be.
LOL.... hahahah so according to you.... so as long as we are not DEAD last lets party... REALLY? Do you support TFC? or YOu support CArlsberg? by going to BMO...

technically we are in the playoff spot.. we hold the tiebreaker on Chivas.
Of course as you say they have 2 fewer games played.. but they actually have to win those 2 games to make the tiebreaker irrelevant.
And of course, it's way too early to be talking about this stuff
