Is yours ready? The great FA Cup adventure is about to begin for another year and it is still a little novel to be starting in Round One, rather than the dear Fourth Qualifying Round. It is perhaps fair to say – and with no disrespect intended – that Rotherham …
A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 6: We think you may need to reach for the tin hat for the latest episode of A Load Of Old Toffee. With that 4-0 defeat to Swindon still fresh in the mind, esteemed host Steve Watkins is joined by Dean Thompson and …
Much like one of those regrettable liaisons with a member of the opposite sex, no doubt Boro’ fans woke up yesterday morning – and perhaps even this morning – feeling rather awkward and disconsolate. Did that, y’know, happen? There is alas no avoiding the fact that Stevenage were brutally humbled …
As the photo to the left illustrates, Paolo Di Canio is a fairly genial, understated person and is rarely seen to be making waves. Those in the seats behind the away dugout can, therefore, not expect any theatrics as the league season moves on with Swindon at home. How we …
A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 5: With two spiffing results to discuss, host Steve “Jeremy Paxman” Watkins is joined by regular (t)wits Mark Hollis and Dean Thompson, plus BoroGuide editor Pete Hayman. In episode five, we soar high and debate whether it could actually be possible for Boro’ …

A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 4: Following Stevenage’s first league defeat of the season, host Steve Watkins is accompanied by Dean Thompson, Mark Hollis and guest Ben Storey for this fourth episode of A Load Of Old Toffee. Losing at Colchester is a key area of focus, with …
The word “defeat” hasn’t exactly been in our vocabulary this season. Aside from cup exits at the hands of Southampton and Dagenham and Redbridge, it’s been a bountiful start to the League One campaign. The fact is this: it has taken us until midway through the third month of 2012-13 …
A bit of Roman history for you there. Camulodunum obviously being the historic name for what we oiks now call Colchester. And like the Romans, last season was a tale of going and seeing and conquering. In a six-goal fashion. But let’s nip this in the bud right now – …
