A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 51: It can’t have escaped the attention of any Boro’ fan that our time in League One is now all but done. The 3-1 loss at home to Bristol City, along with the 24 others during the season, has sent us packing to …
If you’re reading this, there’s a very strong chance that it’s Friday and you’re at least halfway to being freed from the burden of paid employment for another two days; three if you’re somewhat liberal with your application of your annual leave entitlement. But that ain’t our business – the prospect …
It’s ruddy nice to go to someone else’s place and mess up the furniture, especially when Ronnie Moore is involved. And that’s what we got with our Valentine’s Day delight up at Hartlepool United. It was probably appropriate – or maybe not – that 14 February was the day we …
Have you been injured in an accident at work that wasn’t your fault? It won’t surprise us if Graham Westley has spent the whole week on the blower to Ambulance Chasers 4U making some claims on behalf of them guys who have transformed Paul Dando’s physio room from an oasis of tranquility (probably) into the most …
From six games unbeaten to three defeats on the spin – well, that escalated quickly… didn’t it? It looks like having a small squad has given us a few headaches, what with 137 players now on Paul Dando’s treatment table. Yep, we’re now just two knocks away from replacing the …
The next leg of the Grand League Two Roadshow 2014-5 takes us to Mansfield Town for a not-so-chance encounter with the Stags, and if we’ve learned anything from Men Behaving Badly (and we bloody have), it means that we are supposed to act like stags. AAAAOOO! Or however you choose to imitate that particular …
Followers of Stevenage will be used to riding the rollercoaster by now. Having found themselves knocking on the Football League door for many years, it finally swung open in 2009/10. Since then, theirs has been a tale of mind-blowing highs and gut-wrenching lows. A rapid rise from the non-league ranks took them to within …
Ah yes, Oxford United – a club that we seem to irk in some form or other ever since their Work Experience Kid forgot to press send on the fax machine and earned the Us a five-point deduction in 2008-9; a mistake that let us leapfrog them into the playoffs at the end of …
Stevenage appeared to be on the cusp of getting into the play-off places a few days ago, but their momentum has been temporarily halted after a 3-2 defeat against Shrewsbury Town. Stevenage were always expecting a tough match this weekend, as they were taking on a team just one point …
From one end of the spectrum to the other – we can forget all about York City and their crappy home record now because we’re dealing with a completely different beast this weekend. Yep, it’s Shrewsbury Town and a team who have won 11 out of their 13 home games …
