Luton Town: The Mad Hatters’ Tea Party

This one is huge, isn’t it. No, wait, it’s bigger than that – it’s large. If you’ve got a football history book at home, take it out and throw it in the bin – it’s worthless. The history books will now have to be rewritten. But what will they say? …

Robbing Carlisle

If you can, cast your mind back to the year of Arnold 2005 and the glitzy surroundings of Stoke’s Britannia Stadium. After we had been weeping like a willow in the race for the Football League, we were almost there. Carlisle United, however, had other ideas and our one hope, …

Accrington Stanley? Who Are They?

Accrington – it doesn’t quite have the same appeal you’ll get in places like Monaco, New York, the Bahamas or even Swindon. But here we are, facing the idea of a trip up to the Lancashire town as the League Two campaign hurtles ever closer to its end for another year. If you aren’t …

Blackadder - Prince George

Portsmuff Under Lights

Late winners are wonderful things. Make it a late winner against Northampton Town and Chris Wilder and you might as well multiply the effect by a bazillion. The weekend win over the Cobblers got its groove on with other results to put us in a decent position as far as …

Good Fribrations: Tranmere Rovers Indoors

You don’t need to be a Believer to know that Friday equals “good”. All Fridays usually are – because it’s the one period of time that stands between you and the weekend. This one, however, also means a day off in these here erstwhile isles of ours, which means it’s …

Going For A Burton

Ouch! We’re not sure what’s more painful – somehow letting the Daggers walk off with all three points or seeing your skipper providing (quite literally) a finger buffet for someone who didn’t have his halftime orange. Or his morning Weetabix. Neither were quite what we were expecting from last weekend’s action at the Lamex, …

Pete and Dud - The Dagenham Dialogues

Dagenham And Redbridge And That…

This “seventh heaven” concept is a strange one to us. After all, what’s so wrong with the first, second and – cor blimey – even the third versions of the afterlife that you’d want to sack off the first six and head for the door marked “seven”? Well, it seems to …
