We thought it was best to awaken from our close season slumber for English football’s showpiece game. No, not Sunderland v Southampton but the FA Cup Final. Who cares about the rubbish kick-off time, the fact that the Premier League season still carries on around it and that our experiences …
A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 28: It’s the end of the season and the Old Toffee team are having a party. You’re all welcome to join in with the frivolities and festivities, with host Steve Watkins joined by (t)wits Dean Thompson and Mark Hollis. The guests for this …
Three games. Is that it? Is that all that remains of the 2012/3 season? A quick glance at the fixture list tells you no lies – yet another interesting campaign in the life of Boro’ has nearly come to its conclusion. From the early promise of those sultry autumn afternoons …
We know what it must seem like to you. Yes, it has taken us four days to produce our thesis on the goalless draw at Fratton Park, but we have been busy with other things. Honest guv, honest! It is mainly because we realised that ALOOT might need some new …

A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 23: In what has been a quiet few days at Stevenage Football Club, the ALOOT team have little to talk about in this episode… OK, so who are we kidding. A great win against Sheffield United, an awful loss at Bury and a …
A bolt from the blue this Wednesday lunchtime? Or was it pretty much nailed on after last night’s tame defeat at Bury? Either way you look at it, Gary Smith’s era at the Boro’ is now at an end. It’ll probably go down as “mutual consent” reading the club’s statement, …
