Stevenage v Crawley Town: Better the Red Devils you know...

Better The Devils You Know?

It’s true. A week can be a long time in football and Stevenage went a long way to proving that last week. Let’s not focus on the defensive white flag we fluttered in bidding our farewell to August at Grimsby. No, we’ll bask in the lovely warm glow of what we hope is the beginning of Boro’s Indian Summer instead. …

Stevenage v Crawley Town: Sarllito's Way?

Sarllito’s Way

“The dream don’t come no closer by itself. We gotta run after it now” – for now, that ‘dream’ is nothing more than staying in this division. Don’t let that put you off though. After a string of rubbish results and a change in management, we certainly got to run after it now. …

No Time Like The Present, Right?

Morning everyone. It’s a strange one, but we’re almost willing to overlook last weekend’s 3-2 defeat at Plymouth – the Pilgrims sit pretty at the top of the table, while we’ve struggled to keep our head above water for most of the campaign. It wasn’t much of a surprise that we …

Stop Us If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before

Is This One Actually Going To Happen?

If you haven’t been paying attention this January, it’s either been raining its arse off or the English Channel is now 20 miles larger than it was. Most of southern England is no longer there – submerged and no more than a British version of Atlantis, except with more Tesco …

A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 40

A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 40: After a fortnight away to prepare for the clock change (Deano gets awful jet lag at this time of year), the Old Toffee team are back on their soapbox to discuss all the latest Boro’ happenings. Mark Hollis is back after skipping …

Trick Or Treat?

If there is such a thing as a god of marketing (and we very much doubt there is), then it has shown grace and favour towards us by ensuring the fixture computer splurged out Crawley Town at home the weekend before Halloween. You know what that means by now – …

The end of a long four-day Easter weekend is always a tough one to bear – and the trudge into work this morning was a slow, weary one

That Was Easter…

The end of a long four-day Easter weekend is always a tough one to bear. Like a holiday you aren’t ready to come back from, the trudge into work this morning was a weary one. Whether you had a quiet one or a busy one, it was certainly wasn’t the …

That Wasn’t Supposed To Happen!

With a rather tough Christmas schedule fast appearing on the horizon, it would have been preferable to take as large a helping as possible from December’s platter of starters – away at Hartlepool and home to Crawley. But something happened in a mad four minutes at the Lamex on Saturday …
