THE MATCHUP: United we stand, divided something, something...

"Best egg layer of the modern era. Promise."

TORONTO VS. D.C. UNITED
 
BMO FIELD - SATURDAY 1PM ET
TV: TSN ----RADIO: THE FAN 590
 
THE KICKABOUT:
Genuine kudos to anyone willing to protest and/or demonstrate at BMO Field on Saturday. Hell, kudos to anyone who will be bothered to show up. MLSE does not deserve any of you. There is never anything wrong in telling a soulless, greedy and dim-witted ownership that sees you as a number that "you've had enough" - this site probably wouldn't be here otherwise. The only question that will remain is: "what are you willing to do when they don't listen to you?" And make no mistake fellow supporters... they will not listen.
 
Early reports are emerging that the pie-in-the-sky dream that MLSE would significantly lower TFC ticket prices are already dashed. Of course, in their devious manner, the ownership will wait until the dead quiet of November to sneak in your 2013 renewal plan, likely with an insulting "bonus" (money off concessions and merchandise etc.) as an incentive. It will not be enough. It has put our hearts in our throats recently to hear so many "Day One" season ticket holders tell us point blank that they are not returning. They see the writing on the wall. They see ZERO actual plans in place to turn this club's fortunes around. Most of all, they, like us, have seen less than zero that the ownership/ management take them or the death throes of this once "slightly proud" club seriously.
 
MANUFACTURED DERBY NAME:
"The Final Throes of the Golden Goose"
 
PLAYERS TO WATCH:
TORONTO: Ryan Johnson, Darren O'Dea, Luis Silva
D.C. UNITED: Branko Boskovic, Andy Najar, Chris Pontius
 
THE ODDS:
Upon seeing fan protests, MLSE executives will feel...
- Panicked: 10,000 - 1
- Amused: 1,000 - 1
- Wealthy and in the mood for more sushi: EVENS
 
WHO ARE YA?
Paul Mariner won't like it but really, this is "Who We Are" now after six long years of re-runs...

    2. Not that I need to throw down any bona fides for you oh unhappy and judgemental Anonymous, but as a SSH from Day 1 who rarely misses a game (like the fine folks that run this site) - I think I've earned my "true fan" badge. You? And if you so dislike the message/humour/context than why read this blog?

    4. Haha. No; Duane would never throw out the "make us proud again" mantra. It's just your average, every day troll.
