Northern Soul

Northampton Soul

Oh good, Northampton – few places inspire us less. Look, we’ll get this over and done with – Sixfields isn’t the happiest of hunting grounds for Boro’ and we have absolutely naff all to show from the four times we’ve been to the Cobblers’ humble gaff. Even an exiled Coventry side were able …

The Day Today - Jam Festival

Pomp Up The Jam

If the gaffer is to be believed, this midweek beano down to Portsmouth “is not a game that we should be scared of“. After a decent enough point at Exeter last week, followed up with all three against Connor Wickham’s Wonders indoors at the weekend, you can see the reason behind Teddy’s …

We’re Going To Need A Bigger Boat…

It’s touch and go, you can be sure about that – going head to head with a great white shark on its own patch or taking our chances with Wycombe Wanderers indoors. Look, this is League Two and there’s no such thing as an ideal fixture – but the idea of inviting …

Mr DeMille, We’re Not Ready For Our Close Up

If you’ve lost five on the spin and find the idea of scoring a goal harder than inventing a perpetual motion machine, it’s not the best time to be on national telly. At least when you’re bowing out of John Stones’ Paint Trophy indoors against Dagenham and Redbridge, you can do it on …

John Stones’ Painted Trophy?

The John Stones Paint Trophy – it’s probably fifth in the list of our priorities for the season, behind the league, the FA Cup, the league again, the Herts Senior Cup. It’s only because we’re already out the League Cup that it doesn’t prop up the half-dozen in our list. Our enthusiasm …

“Yes, honey – just squeeze your rage up into a bitter little ball and release it at an appropriate time… like that day I hit the referee with the whiskey bottle” – It ain’t much fun being a Boro’ fan at the moment, and the capitulation against Mansfield midweek was a thump to …

Think Fast, Father Ted

Think Fast, Father Ted…

Look, we’re making no apologies for the fact that the list of Father Ted episode titles is going to be seeing plenty of action here at BoroGuide HQ over the course of the 2015-6 League Two season. Not least ‘cos it makes us laugh when the only option is to weep …

We Got U’s, Babe…

Ugh – it doesn’t get any easier, does it? Losing to Barnet. Barnet. Huge sigh and move on. This week, it’s another away day and another one of “those teams” – Cambridge United to be specific, and if you really did need that helping hand. Like the Bees, the U’s rock …

Barnet: Beauty and the Bees

  Much like the rest of the universe up there above September’s gloomy clouds, Barnet is somewhere that scientists still continue the search for signs of intelligent life. As humble Boro’ fans of cheeky wit and noble intention, we can do our bit to assist in this apparently fruitless task by spending a couple of hours …

Yorkie Talkie

Hello, good evening and welcome to you, our assorted bunch of sweet treats. Now, we know full well that there are trips to our old friends Barnet and Cambridge now shining brightly on our horizon – but you should know how the fixture list works by now. Before we get the chance to …
