It doesn’t concern us this season, but the FA Cup Third Round takes place this weekend. You know the drill now, too. It’s when all those plucky lower-leaguers look to bruise the egos of the rich and famous. Plimmuff go to Liverpool, Arsenal to Preston and Posh to Chelsea are some …
…and so the wait goes on. It’s over three-and-a-half months since Stevenage Football Club last won a League Two match indoors. Christmas, it seems for Cambridge United, is not a time for giving. The U’s took their chances where we did not. In doing so, it ended their even longer …
Ho, ho, fakin’ ho – glad tidings, season’s greetings and whatever else you might want off us this Christmas. As long as it’s under a fiver, mind. Now we’ve hit upon the right festive note to begin, let’s do just that. Begin. And we start with the news that it’s the first …
Barnet on the road, then. It used to be such a simple trip – a hop down the A1 or a short train ride to New Barnet. No more, however. Not since the Bees canned Underhill. The Hive, as most of us will know, is neither in Barnet and nor is …
For some, we’d bet the title of this preview seems almost like the perfect weekend soiree – albeit in reverse. It is a brave man who takes a wee dram, before ballroom dancing his way around the beer garden at Old Town Wetherspoons. But, dearly beloved, we have gathered here to run the rule over something momentous. Not once in …
OK, let’s try this one again then – shall we? Just over two months since we last rocked up to Dave Parade, the weather is looking as if it might play ball this time. At least, we’d hope so. We’d rather not have to fork out another £6.60 to cross the Bridge for …
The magic of the FA Cup… isn’t our concern this week. As the gaze of most League Two sides averts towards the world’s oldest marketed competition (or something), we’re making up ground. Like us, Doncaster Rovers would have been twiddling the thumbs this weekend but for some surprisingly common sense thinking …
Oh, but if we could play all our matches on the road this season. To beat Accrington is never a bad thing, but to do so last week had an inexplicable charm to it. We can’t quite put our finger on it. It could be that, having stopped them gaining promotion …
Wow. It’s been quite a week, don’t you think? After all, it’s not every week that you find yourself on the same side of the argument as ‘that lot’ across the county border. So, how do you cap a week as historic as this? Well, we’ll tell you – with a trip to lovely, lovely Accrington. …
An interesting week, by all accounts. Amid the rubble of the Toblerone fall-out and a foreign nation choosing a rather uncharming geezer to lead them, our woes are a drop in the ocean. Boro’ are out of two cups – achieving that feat within the space of four days. Mind you, you may agree that …
