CHANTS ON GOAL: "I gotta hear more Bermuda Triangle!"

"There's only one cure..."

Welcome back to our sing-along depot where we try to unleash TFC supporters' inner BMO Field Idol. After witnessing the spontaneous, wildfire popularity of the "Where is Waldo?" chant at the Canada v USA match, we know you have an ear for some new tunes. With that we bring you a few more dittys for you to try out at the oppportune TFC moment. Now... from the diaphragm...
　
Enjoying the agile play of our young winger Reggie Lambe? Do you miss when Michael Jackson could light up pavement? Moonwalk to this...
　
REGGIE LAMBE (IS NOT MY LOVER)
(to the tune of "Billie Jean")

Reggie Lambe is from Bermuda
He's just a kid,
But makes defenders look slow
Thanks Ipswich for letting him go


　
Is it just one of those days at BMO Field? Did the Reds just miss (another) chance at goal and make you wonder why you showed up? Whistle away...
　
DON'T WORRY, TFC HAPPY
(to the tune of "Don't Worry, Be Happy)

Here's a club I pay to see
Sometimes so bad, should be free
Don't worry
Be happy
　
Johnson looked like a sure bet
Took a shot and missed the net
Don't worry
Be happy
　
(Feel free to replace "Johnson" with the name of whomever just missed a sitter)


　
Are the Whitecaps in town again? Are they still going on about Voyageurs Cup conspiracy theories? Make it rain...
　
CAPS FOR THE CUP (to the tune of "Blame it on the Rain")

Blame it on the rain, (not Eric Hassli)
Blame it on the ref, (not lack of fight)
Whatever you do, don’t blame those Cups on you
Blame it on the rain, yeah, yeah

THE STARTING 11: Outrageous Reggie Lambe exclamations

Reggie shows the ball how to bow at his feet



Every club has one of them now and again. A colourful and flamboyant character who has such a lofty opinion of their own skills that they can't help but tell the world. Often this can be an endearing quality to fans but only when there is actual skill to back it up. TFC has had the odd player who has been "more Tweet than feet" but newcomer Reggie Lambe may have the chance to be both entertaining and talented. The young Bermudian is definitely confident in himself and with his less-than-subtle Twitter handle @ReggieNaldo, we can expect some wildly bold statements. Perhaps like so...
　
11. Was run out of Ipswich Town by the jealous local beef industry
　
10. Successfully sued Gwen Stefani - forced her to remove "E" from her L.A.M.B. clothing line
　
9. Kindly chose Toronto FC over Barcelona as to not stunt the growth of young Lionel Messi
　
8. 2012 will see him win the MLS scoring title, MLS MVP, a Grammy and the Nobel Peace Prize
　
7. Nick Soolsma is his butler
　
6. His full name is actually Archduke Reginald Spencer Lamberton III
　
5. His arrival will cause manager Aron Winter to play the revolutionary new "4-3-RL-2" formation
　
4. He invented Facebook and the Reuben Sandwich
　
3. The Bermuda Triangle has let herself get fat
　
2. Sheep stole his name
　
1. Toronto FC TV is ok but Beyonce had the best video of the year

Reds mint midfielder Lambe

Not baaaaad! Sorry, we promise that is one of the last couple of dozen lamb jokes we make... today. All for good reason though, as Toronto FC officially announced their first new recruit for 2012 today - tricky, young midfielder Reggie Lambe.
　
The 20-year old Bermudian international has been flirting with the English Championship since signing with Ipswich Town's youth program in 2009 - two years after his international debut with Bermuda at 16. Lambe is known for his agility and creativity but will need to disprove the usual naysayers who will point to his small frame in relation to the rough and tumble MLS.
　
After being cut loose by Ipswich earlier this year, Lambe appeared on Paul Mariner's radar - one that has quite a reach into the Caribbean football community. For Aron Winter, Lambe may prove to be a versatile addition to the roster who can fill in on the wing and sometimes in the centre of the park. "We are very happy to add a young and talented player like Reggie Lambe" said the Dutch Head Coach who then sadly failed to add "Lambe will have to show us his chops".
　
　
Up next... a special report - "Bermudian Midfielders: Masters of The Triangle Offence"
　
We already love you Reggie.... from a purely pun-related place.

THE WORD: Out like a lamb, in like a Lambe?

All signs point to Toronto?



Toronto FC's season has barely gone cold but it looks like plans for 2012 (aka SIXual Healing) are already starting to heat up. According to reports out of football hotbed Bermuda and East Anglian metropolis/tractor hotbed Ipswich, former Ipswich Town and Bermudian international midfielder Reggie Lambe is on The Reds' radar.
　
The diminutive Lambe was on The Tractor Boys' books since his mid-teens before being released earlier this year. His time with Ipswich was mostly limited to reserve team appearances and culminated with a loan spell at Bristol Rovers. Aside from his club experience, Lambe has been a member of Bermuda's national team since he was 16 and has made 9 appearances, scoring 4 times. The triangle offence puns start here.
　
Lambe, who reportedly trained with TFC over the summer, was brought to Paul Mariner's attention through the same Caribbean network that saw him pluck useful MLS winger Khano Smith from Bermudan obscurity into New England's squad. Whatever happens with this rumour - Reggie Lambe officially becomes "The First TFC Off-Season Rumoured Signing". Huzzah!
