Some Thoughts About Yeovil

“By 15 games it’s no fluke, it’s not lucky. They are up there for a reason…” – not our words, the words of Top Gear magazine Yeovil Town manager Gary Johnson (remember him)? A chilly Somerset is the destination for Boro’s next outing this evening and offers the perfect chance …

Tinfoil Cups At The Ready

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 …

How Was It For You?

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.

Camulodunum

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 – …

Notts Your Flava?

It appears that our failure to blog prior to the Bury game may have contributed to the disappointing draw against our bottom-of-the-league visitors on Saturday. We would prepared something and had intended to do so – but Chris Foy only gave an extra four minutes, which is an insult to …
