The Chairboys

If you’re reading this, there’s a very strong chance that it’s Friday and you’re at least halfway to being freed from the burden of paid employment for another two days; three if you’re somewhat liberal with your application of your annual leave entitlement. But that ain’t our business – the prospect …

Dennis Taylor 1985

South by Southend

It’s ruddy nice to go to someone else’s place and mess up the furniture, especially when Ronnie Moore is involved. And that’s what we got with our Valentine’s Day delight up at Hartlepool United. It was probably appropriate – or maybe not – that 14 February was the day we …

Carry On Physio – the definitive-ish Hartlepool preview

Have you been injured in an accident at work that wasn’t your fault? It won’t surprise us if Graham Westley has spent the whole week on the blower to Ambulance Chasers 4U making some claims on behalf of them guys who have transformed Paul Dando’s physio room from an oasis of tranquility (probably) into the most …

Shakers: Prattle And Roll

From six games unbeaten to three defeats on the spin – well, that escalated quickly… didn’t it? It looks like having a small squad has given us a few headaches, what with 137 players now on Paul Dando’s treatment table. Yep, we’re now just two knocks away from replacing the …

Gary, Men Behaving Badly

Stag Do

The next leg of the Grand League Two Roadshow 2014-5 takes us to Mansfield Town for a not-so-chance encounter with the Stags, and if we’ve learned anything from Men Behaving Badly (and we bloody have), it means that we are supposed to act like stags. AAAAOOO! Or however you choose to imitate that particular …

Ready For Business

Ah yes, Oxford United – a club that we seem to irk in some form or other ever since their Work Experience Kid forgot to press send on the fax machine and earned the Us a five-point deduction in 2008-9; a mistake that let us leapfrog them into the playoffs at the end of …

A Grand Old Look At York

The grand old duke of York, right, had 10,000 men. And he marched them up to the top of a hill, before deciding to send them back down again. And there was some more mucking around before they were neither up nor down. Now we’re no military tactician, but this seems like …

The Crazy Gang

In case you missed it, AFC Wimbledon come this game having played Liverpool for the first time since… well, forever. It was hard to ignore the Beeb indulging in all that “Magic of the Cup” guff, throwing up a confused narrative that pitched the Dons in their first ever encounter against the Reds, all the while looking …

Eric Morecambe

Up To Morecambe…

As it all stands, Boro’ are travelling to Morecambe this weekend with an unbeaten record in 2015. Not only that, but we’ve come out of the Christmas period with three wins to our name and nine points added to the points column of the table. It’s a little run of form that we …
