Painting A Picture

We must be getting old here at BoroGuide Towers. Just two days in Amsterdam and the third and fourth are – for all intents and purposes – write-offs. It was good to hear that Stevenage remain unbeaten in League One. A win would have been preferable, but points win prizes …

Saints And Sinners

It’s not always easy to come to terms with a 4-1 home defeat, no matter how much you try and mitigate it with the fact that it was a Premier League side and not really deserved. The  difference between the top flight and League One was exemplified with the great …

One Four The Money…

Snarf. Did you see what we did there? Southampton came, saw and conquered. The third round awaits for the Saints; the soul-searching begins for the Boro’. The score might give one impression of tonight’s game, but the actual game wasn’t necessarily so clear cut. The best team, however, won at …

Southampton Preview

It might seem like a break with tradition, but just sometimes we like our blog posts to have a more straightforward feel to things. Southampton (for it is they) are the upcoming guests to our humble abode and no doubt will be impressed by work on the West Stand’s exterior. …

The Ballad of Gunnar Halle

Ah, the man Gunnar Halle. One of those players from a time when terracing was still part of some Premier League grounds and when shirt designs were, hmm, interesting. Having spent five years at Boundary Park, we definitely believe Oldham Athletic would be so very much better off if players …

After the fervently hot experience that was Boro’s opener to the season at home to Carlisle on Saturday, it is now time for the first away day of the campaign. Leyton Orient may be a favourite of the bookmakers to go down this season, but they are among the small …

Monday Lunchtime Stat Attack

And we are off and running. As Gary Smith so eloquently put it, “if you can’t win the game, don’t get beaten” – a decent enough philosophy from which to work from. Of course, it may be argued that Saturday’s game was a little out of the ordinary – temperatures …

Under Starters Orders

Right, we’re about ready for the off here at BoroGuide Towers and look forward to seeing Carlisle United return home defeated once again. The season properly begins tomorrow – discounting the Capital One Cup game earlier in the week – and we’re certainly interested to see how the new-look Gary …

If You Start Me Up…

A new season? Already? It doesn’t seem that long ago that we rocked back on our pub stool in reaction to that late goal at Bramall Lane, spelling the end of our bid for three successive promotions. It wasn’t the end of the world – it’d been a fantastic season …

Boro’s Newest Star?

Since the end of last season, we’ve been searching frantically for something to fill our time until the 2012/3 campaign kicks off next month. Euro 2012 did, for a short while, grab our attention. But with the Russians, Dutch and Germans determined to torpedo our wagers, it waned our interest …
