Bees, Bees, Bees: Let Us Get What We Want

Barnet indoors, then. We like to think we’re good eggs here at BoroGuide HQ, treating those less fortunate than ourselves with grace, compassion and patience. But, when it comes to our lowly guests this weekend, we just can’t do that. The Bees come to the Lamex with a five-point advantage over us …

Homer Simpson - Leader Beans

Take Us To Your Leaders…

Buckle up folks, this one could be quite a bumpy ride. With a squad that’s thinner than Woking FC’s Guide To Winning Trophies and a back line that seems to have more holes in it than Swiss cheese, it’s not the ideal time to call in on league leaders Plymouth Argyle. Yep, the Pilgrims are flying high, while we …

Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked…

We’ve been through all the tellybox games on this weekend and it’s amazing that we’re not there. Fobbed off with the old excuse that the FA Cup is the oldest marketing device in the world or something, the Beeb and BT Sport just wouldn’t listen to our very impressive suggestion that, maybe, the idea …

Going For Gold

Yeo-ing For Gold

Hello, guten tag and bonjour. We’ve caught the travel bug and can’t wait to see where the Boro’ bus is taking us next… ah. Yeovil. Can that be right? Well, it looks like it. Just three weeks after we last ventured out to the wild west to check up on our old chums, we’re …

Forrest Gump - Shrimp

Shrimp-a-Dee-Doo-Dah…

A win on the road and a weight off the shoulders. Let’s not go too mad over our midweek miracle at the Memorial, but you have to admit it doesn’t half feel good to go into a place and get the job done. Now it’s back to the Lamex to welcome a …

Shaun of the Dead

Lethal Brizzle?

Hello, good evening and welcome. Bristol Rovers are a team that’s felt familiar for some time, and yet we’ve never met in competitive circles. After parting with a fair few notes to prise Barry Hayles from us, we’ve not so much as shot a glance in each other’s general direction. Now, however, we’re getting a proper introduction – and we’re all well …

Stevenage v Luton Town (21 Nov 2015): Is it really that time again? It's Luton Town indoors and it's much like hosting a kid's party (probably)

Hatter Patter

Oh gawd, is it really that time again? It’s Luton Town indoors and it’s much like hosting a child’s birthday party (probably) – you don’t want a bunch of noisy brats running around your living room and making a mess, but you don’t have a choice in the matter. The only hope …

Bo Selecta - Craig David

Yeo Selecta!

We’ve gone from the ridiculous to the sublime, or something like that. Last week’s win indoors agains the Gills came as a surprise to us, we won’t lie to you. After we’d been put to the sword by one of the in-form sides in the division, we didn’t exactly think much …

A View To A Kill

A View To A Gill

It’s hard to know what irritated people more: the 5-1 home humiliation at the hands of Oxford or the news that our manager – 49-year-old former Colchester United striker Teddy Sheringham – had registered for action. The press went into overdrive, Borochat went into meltdown and we went to our bunker for tea and crumpets and to see the whole …

Dick Emery - Mandy

Ox Pops

Two things in this humble existence of ours are certain, apparently – death and taxes. Not our words, but the words of Benjamin Franklin. Well, Benny, allow us to blow your 300-year-old mind with the news that a third thing is now all but guaranteed in life – that Boro’ will come out …
