A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 52: The new season is all but upon us. So, we forced the ALOOT team back from holidays to get the ball rolling for 2014-5. Just what is in store for a Boro’ starting life in a lower division? Steve Watkins is joined …
Christmas is often a time for welcoming people into our home – even if we can’t pretend to like them all that much. This festive period sees us throw open the doors to our humble abode after the fixture computer invited Cambridge United to spend some time with us. We assume we are using …
So this is Christmas, and what have you done? Another year over, but first Dagenham. And so, as we said right there, this is Christmas – and we hope you had fun. Now for the part that could be less fun – yep, it’s a Boro’ away day. Off to …
If the experience of being dumped out of the FA Cup live on telly hadn’t been as chastening, as painful and as humiliating as last night proved to be, you could have almost passed it off as a sitcom written by David Croft and Jimmy Perry. Y’know – a group of men being given …
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 …
And so, with all the enthusiasm and anticipation you’d normally reserve for a Monday morning drive around the circumference of the M25 in a Austin Allegro, we return to League Two action this weekend. For now, it appears we must do the dirty on the mighty Maidstone United and see someone …
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 53: We’re now a couple of weeks into the 2014-5 season and what better time to sit the ALOOT team down and dissect their thoughts? Unfortunately, the memo never made it as far as Mark Hollis, so you’ll have to make do and mend …
Nearly there folks, nearly there. There hasn’t been a lot from the 2013/4 campaign to put on the Doovdé Highlights – it’ll be a shorter watch than Great Michael Warner Goals Of Our Time (£1.99, VHS/Betamax). And after spending a good few months somehow losing to sides doing barely passable impressions of third tier teams, we’d rather …
“Relief? Well, now let us see. Y’know, we don’t have any idea what that means. We know what you think it means, Mr Westley. To us, it’s just a made up word. A manager’s word, so young fellas like can wear a suit and a tie, and have a job…” The interpretation of just one word …
