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 …
A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 57: Yet again, we successfully petitioned the Ministry of Justice to get Steve, Deano and Mark out on day release for the latest Old Toffee. And it promises to be a belter. Well, as long as none of them abscond. Again. It can …
In the absence of football, it means we get to pick and choose what we watch. And that’s good, because it ain’t always a laugh. The 2011-2 FA Cup saw us break boundaries as a club; reaching the fifth round for the first time. And then bloodying the nose of …
You get nothing for a pair, not in this game. If we draw a blank against Maidstone for a second time, the game will more than likely be up for this season’s FA Cup. Helpfully, we’ve moved on in that department since our first outing against the Stones. It took the best part …
If you needed a brutal reminder that summer had scurried off like a miscreant child over whom you have absolutely no power, it’s the arrival of the (Proper) First Round of the FA Cup. In our misty-eyed nostalgia, we remember a time where we’d all buy into “the magic of …
A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 48: The ALOOT team is now back after a completely undeserved mini-break – that or they have been temporarily washed away. Either way, host Steve Watkins is joined by Deano and Mark as usual to discuss the latest Boro’ events. You may think …
Now then, we come to a game that we’ve been waiting the best part of a month for – home to Everton in the FA Cup. It is Boro’s reward for dumping out Doncaster Rovers in the last round, and – optimistically speaking – our chance to get some sort …
A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 47: We were very touched to hear that some of you were struggling to survive two weeks without your ALOOT fix. Now, it does sound like a mild case of addiction and compulsion, but we’re not in the business of complaining… well, Dean …
A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 46: More than a week into a New Year and the Old Toffee team have returned to the studio. It hasn’t changed much – Steve Watkins, Dean Thompson and Mark Hollis are still the ragamuffins that hold it together. Special guest this week …
