FIFA 18 Verdict: Accrington Stanley (A)

Accrington Stanley (Away): The FIFA 18 Verdict

Did we get ahead of ourselves? Our soon-to-patented FIFA 18 Verdict had a glimpse of brilliance as fleeting as Marouane Fellaini’s time on the pitch against Spurs. We gave you the right scoreline, which was helpful if you went for Under 1.5 Goals with your pocket money. But it failed on …

Accrington Stanley v Stevenage: Yakety Acc, Don't Talk Back...

Yakety Acc

Facckinel. Not this place, again! And, yet, it’s our own fault. For it was us who put the kaibosh on Accrington’s push for automatic promotion a couple of seasons back. As rib-tickling as it might have been at the time, you often reap what you sow in football. And, here …

FIFA 18 Verdict: Swindon Town (H)

Swindon Town (Home): The FIFA 18 Verdict

Oh, there we are! With the right outcome and bang on with the number of goals scored by the opposition, it seems our last FIFA 18 Verdict walks away with two out of four. And that’s half decent. Literally. That is half decent. So, now we are fully accredited and qualified …

Stevenage v Swindon Town: It'll Be Alright on the Tuesday Night. Right?

It’ll Be Alright On The Tuesday Night

It was a goal as spawny as they come, but who really cares? Ben Kennedy put the mockers on Aaron Ramsdale, and the Chesterfield ‘keeper fluffed his lines. Yeah, no-one is going to remember the game itself. But this was our first win on the road since a very long …

FIFA 18 Verdict: Chesterfield (H)

Chesterfield (Away): The FIFA 18 Verdict

Now, as part of our laboured efforts to get this FIFA 18 verdict banging out something you can hang your coat on, we’ve upped the ante. It was clear that, *only* playing at World Class level, we though things were turning out too well for us. After all, a 4-1 …

Chesterfield v Stevenage: It's our Spireites of Passage...

Spireites Of Passage

Totus tuus minimus canus; Costacurta, Baggio, Roberto. It’s the latest away day for Boro’, and it’s almost time to call for some divine intervention to halt this unholy run of form on the road. It is a great comfort this week, however, to know that – no matter how bad …

FIFA 18 Verdict: Carlisle United (H)

Carlisle United (Home): The FIFA 18 Verdict

It was too good to be true, of course it was. Our last FIFA 18 Verdict had good intentions, but – quite frankly – poor foresight. The margin of the win, however, was spot on. So, do bear that in mind when you come to mull over the outcome of …

Stevenage v Carlisle: With the catchiest preview title you've ever seen...

The Catchiest Preview Title You’ve Ever Seen

The first Reading tie was a chance lost. The second Reading tie was another chance lost. And, in-between, we had to call on a Fraser Franks GOLAZO at Morecambe to stop us from losing on the road again. Still, we could all be Barnet fans; a hellish existence at the …

FIFA 18 Verdict: Reading (A)

Reading (Away): The FIFA 18 Verdict

Twice. In fact, it’s twice in a row. That’s how many times our FIFA 18 Verdict has been half right in the past two times it’s been tested. This is a dangerous development. It almost qualifies the time we spend with the PS4 as an actual work of science. It rightly …

Reading v Stevenage: Reading or not, here we come...

Reading Or Not, Here We Come…

No points up for grabs and no historic personal milestones; just a chance to travel to either Carlisle or Sheffield Wednesday in the Fourth Round. That’s the bottom line here, folks. The FA Cup isn’t always glamorous, nor is it always romantic. But we’re still in it, and that is …
