Cambridge United v Stevenage: A 'Bridge (Not) Too Far...

A ‘Bridge (Not) Too Far

As far as ‘bridges go, we don’t mind so much the Ux, Staly or even Stour sorts. At least, we don’t tend to mind ’em more often than not. And we’re even partial to the ol’Tower one down in that London too. But Cam? Ooh, no; we’re not really so hot …

Stevenage v Newport County: Ringing in the New...port

Ringin’ In The New… Port?

It’s out with the 12-year-old port you’ve been guzzling down your cheese with this Christmas, and now in with the Newport from the arse-end of Wales. Or ‘South Wales’ as it’s known in official diplomatic circles. True dat. The New Year is now upon us and we hope you have …

Crewe Alexandra v Stevenage: All we want for Christmas is Crewe away...

All We Want For Christmas Is Crewe… (A)

Now then, isn’t it better late than never – not least when it’s getting what you want from Santa for Christmas. What you really, really want. We’re talking something much more heart-warming than novelty pants and Lynx gift sets too. Three points away from home on Boxing Day. That’s the true …

Colchester United v Stevenage: Baby, It's Col U Outside...

Baby, It’s Col U Outside

So, no early Christmas presents for us at the weekend then. And we thought we had been extra good this year too. Not once have we used the word feck or beggar. Much, anyway. A 3-1 reverse at home to Mansfield means we couldn’t see ourselves soar into the festive …

Stevenage v Mansfield Town: Bah, Slumbug!

Bah, Slumbug…

Cor! If Christmas is a time of year that’s ablaze with the roaring fire of festive cheer, hasn’t our Lewis Hamilton done his bit to douse the flames? If anyone caught the parlour folly that is BBC Mainstream Sports Personality Of The Year, our famed Billy Whizz made a silly …

Northampton Town v Stevenage: Out on the town just before Christmas?

Out On The Town

It was a bit of an uncomfortable one last week; Lincoln doing a job on us in much the same way we did to sides when we won promotion in 2011. It was all very well when it was us, but not so much now when someone else is doing …

Stevenage v Lincoln City: Time for a dab of imp-ressionism...

Imp-ressionism

It’s been so long since we punted a football in anger that we’ve almost forgotten who turns out for us these days. Is that lovely Ray Houghton still in the middle? In truth, it’s not even been two weeks since we were on our festive rounds early; handing out gifts …

Stevenage v Oldham Athletic: Texas Oldham?

Texas Oldham

Yee. And then as custom goes, hah! Back from the wild, wild west hinterlands of Cheltenham, Boro’ return to the Lamex with a much-needed haul of three points and the feeling of a job well done. Y’know, the one after you’ve absolutely nailed the sorting of your sock drawer, the …

Cheltenham Town v Stevenage: Robins Reliant!

Robins Reliant

Two games indoors, two wins and six league points in the bank. That’s lovely Alan! STOP – hammertime, and in the name of love while we’re at it, though. That’s not how it all ended up working out. The plan for our double header with Crewe and then Port Vale was rock …

Stevenage v Port Vale: You've Got Vale...

You’ve Got Vale…

Our luck ain’t got much better since coming back from Wales. What should have been a regulation win on our return indoors all came apart in the time it takes us to squeeze ourselves onto the East Terrace after our last gasp power shandy has us scampering for the loo. …
