Hey Bubble. I'm a TFC season ticket holder over the pond here in T.O. My recommendation is to check them out on the CBC. You can see them either streaming live or in their archives. Unfortunately not all of their games are broadcast by the CBC do to the U-20 World Cup (I'm in footy heaven btw!), but once that's done they should resume the season's coverage. In the meantime we watch TFC on SportsNet or the Score over here. I find our announcer, Nigel Reed, is far superior to a lot of the generic American ones. Perhaps because I'm more used to EPL broadcasts and their play by play.
Anyway, here's the link:

You can see the little "Archived" tab next to "Live" which will allow you to view previous matches FREE!
As for cheap jerseys, well I'm afraid we're ALL out of luck there! HAHAHA. Our official home kits (the ones with our sponsor BMO) have officially sold out. You can still find our away kits (grey) though only in Canada it would seem. You can find replica kits all over the place though. They only real noticeable difference is the BMO sponsor replaced by TORONTO FC. The official kits cost us $130.00 US (about 65 quid) and the replicas about $100 US (50 quid). Apparently Adidas grossly underestimated demand.

To put it into perspective I bought a replica kit, official away kit and will buy a home kit when they replenish the stock. We're out of scarves too. The twits over at Adidas need to be better prepared.
I hope this helps.
Cheers
