Full back Chris Estridge, after having been on trial essentially since his draft-and-release by Vancouver, has signed with the club. Estridge, an attack-minded full back, was drafted as the second of Vancouver's two SuperDraft picks. The…
The midweek bump has come a bit more quickly than I'd originally envisaged: Not more than four days until we play — who is it we play again? Oh, right. Sporting Kansas City, the side we're all supposed to be scared of, shaking in our boots…
When taking my daily stroll through the Opta chalkboards — something I've become quite prone to doing, really — I noticed something all-too-interesting about the win over Colorado. The player leading our side in tackles won wasn't Kyle…
If, when the season kicked off, you told me we'd have 15 points from our first 6 matches — tying our best-ever MLS start in 2010 — I don't think I'd have complained. Indeed, despite that loss against Chivas, there's not too much that's got…

Derby day! Or, if you will, rivalry week, or perhaps "hate week," though I consider that one a bit strong. Whatever you call it, it's coming to its fiery conclusion later today for the first of three times this season. Three conclusions,…
There's nothing like a long lunch on a Friday to watch our boys in Claret and Cobalt prepare for the coming day's match. If you've not been out and are able to, I'd highly recommend it. On another note, the reserves match against Colorado…
