“We’re gonna fight ’em off; a Devon nation army couldn’t hold us back“: It feels like a fair while since we last turned out on our own patch, but here we are – preparing to roll out the red carpet for the visit of the hardy Janners. League Two football is back at the Lamex for the …
If you’re thinking about your August Bank Holiday getaway, why not choose the bright eyes and busy tails of the London Borough of Barking and Dagnum? With Chick King fried poultry outlets as far as the eye can see and vague local council efforts to do the place up with …
We’re not going to lie to you – after all, you are all beautiful, intelligent creatures and we’re massive admirers of whatever it is that you actually do. But we’re just going to have to put it out there right from the start that we don’t especially rate Boro’s chances this weekend, with …
“Os! I thought you said O! When you said Os, I thought you said O! ‘Os!” – Wowzer, aren’t the games coming round thick and fast at the moment? It’s a third trip in three games for Teddy’s team – if you count the League Cup jaunt up to Ipswich – and we’ll have to be using …
“Why do you call it Dave, Trig’? Its name’s not Dave, Its Rodney” – Dave Parade’s the name, Newport County’s the game. As third games of the season, this one’s a classic – that’s why we’ve taken our fair old time about knocking out our match preview. Dig out your £6.50s because we’re going …
No-one wanted to begin the new season by having our trousers pulled down in our own backyard by Notts County. But that’s how it panned out. And that’s what we have to deal with. Unfortunately for new gaffer Teddy Sheringham (for it is still he), Boro’ have to make the …
Don’t tell us that we’re crazy and don’t tell us we’re nowhere; take it from us, it’s hip to be all square. From the six League Two playoffs, our semi-final first leg against Southend United is one of just two to finish level after the first 90 minutes. That means …
A General Election can’t decide the fourth team to go up. So, it reverts to the end-of-season japes that you’ll know as the League Two playoffs. Four sides are up for this one, including our dear Boro’. But there’s nothing more we can expect from this first sparring contest than …
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? …
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, …
