How could he have played so brutally for us and score 15 goals for FC Dallas?

Who knows?!?
coaching?
Simple, He is better used in Dallas than he was in TFC.Originally Posted by kodiakTFC
In Dallas he's been given the freedom to be everywhere in the pitch and be creative.
In TFC...don't get me started with the coaches.
At least he's slightly atoned for his douchebaggery by helping us keep RSL pointless.
Still possibly the only known RPB to appear on Masterchef Canada.
(I think?)
Yes, better used, because a striker should not be expected to score on an empty net from the goal line.Simple, He is better used in Dallas than he was in TFC.

But half his goals were in garbage time or a big blow out.
I seem to remember he was being fed a lot of crosses at TFC. He started off well for us, didn't he?
Lol, this thread comes up every time he scores. Yeah he's doing well and didn't here because he couldn't handle the pressure and didn't try hard enough. And we all know if we saw him on the street, we'd punch him squarely in the jaw.
Case closed.
I nearly fell off my chair when I read this post. I say we post it in every Cunningham thread that gets opened up in the future, and then close the thread.
The coach there doesn't rip into him at every opportunity.
The story of Jeff Cunningham at TFC:
- unmotivated
- not focused
- wrong coach
- wrong system
To the extend that pressure was on him here, well half of that was the fault of a self -serving coach who was always concerned about saving his own bacon as opposed to doing what was right for the time. Ironically, he also sucked at dealing with pressure.
hey well barrett has 5 goals.......need i say more?
Maybe because of the way he was treated by "supporters" here in Toronto.

Just look at all the good players that became shitty when joining the Leafs!
Or all the shitty players that became great when they left the Leafs!
It's the Hogtown Curse!
Screw Cunningham. I hate that guy.
How is this posted in the news section?

MLSE curse.
Alex Rios leaving Toronto and doing worse proved it's not Toronto, it's MLSE
Well, a lot of former Raptor players play shit (excluding Vince Carter and maybe T-Mac) after leaving Toronto. Last time I remember, Toronto Raptors are owned by MLSE.
Point is that this is more Maple Leafs and TFC curse. I guess it's got to do with how a lot of TFC fans are also Maple Leaf fans as well though explaining why fans here love unskilled hardworking players instead of actual talented players? Also how TFC management is run by bunch of amateurs like past Maple Leafs management might explain this curse as well.

all teams have players that leave and go on to better things.
It's just everyone here is Toronto-centric, so they always believe it's a Toronto curse.
But you hear it from fans in other sports in other cities. It's just myopia.
Ya, good passes from Dichio, lots of breakaways and stopped a lot. I think JC couldn't handle Cunningham's odd personality and didn't know how to best utilize him.
By the time that Cunningham missed that sitter, the damage had been long done and he was snake bitten not being able to do anything right. Once the milk had soured, their was not to be any healing of the relationship and he had to go.
I was recently told a story about Cunningham with TFC in NY yelling over to Andrew Boyens how great it must be to play in New York as playing in Toronto is crap ........ or something in that vein anyway.
Certainly a two way dislike!
That said, could JC have handled him differently, ya probably.

throw up face
Cunningham, Casey, Buddle and a boat load of other guys have failed to score here. Maybe scoring isnt our problem, its service?
He put in zero effort for TFC - thats why.
Fuck him.
So the guy wins the golden boot the year before joining us, and now he's going to win it the year after leaving us.............
He didnt want to play here, he didnt want to succeed here.
There is no sense dwelling on it.
Who?
Who, this guy?
He was the paragon of effort, he was.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
The guy was a douche when he was here but he can score goals...he's proven it.
