No Goals: Cow's Bottom, Banjo

Lean Machine

No goals in our last four outings. It’s not a brilliant state of affairs, to be honest. And with our next two opponents sitting first and second in the table, is it about to get worse? Are we drifting towards another unwanted record this term? Making history, and not the good sort …

Wycombe Wanderers v Stevenage - Bill Turnbull

Nil Bill

300 minutes – it’s a long time, innit? Empires have risen, fallen and been reimagined on the big screen in the time since Boro’ last found the back of the net. It’s not exactly helpful when you’re being sucked ever closer to the bottom two, but it looks like York and …

Pulp Fiction: Stevenage v Portsmouth

Pomp Fiction

So, it turns out it wasn’t the Victorians, the Ancient Chinese or even the perpetual PR machine at Sky Sports – it was Manchester United all along. Yep, do make your cheques payable and glory be to the Red Devils for creating this funny old game of ours. Not least because it rears its …

Stevenage v Exeter City: Oh Matron!

Let’s Talk About Exe…

If there’s one team that we don’t have much luck with, it’s Carlisle flippin’ United. It’s not enough to have elbowed their way past us into the League in 2005, but the Cumbrians must have cast some sort of spell because fortune refuses to shine on us when our paths cross. Nor …

The Good Life: Carlisle United v Stevenage

Sarllisle United

Two on the bounce and now we’re bouncing ourselves – the green shoots of the Stevenage Football Club recovery are perhaps just starting to pop their fragile noggins above the snow-swept ground. But we’re not completely out of the woods yet, though – not while teams sitting below us are still insisting on …

On The Buses: Three Points

Boro’ On The Buses…

Yep, it’s a saying that’s done the rounds so many times that you might as well call it Ernie and shove it behind the wheel of a milk float. You’re kept waiting for bloody ages for three points and then you double your money in as many games. We have clocked up …

Us Line Is It Anyway

U’s Line Is It Anyway?

If it’s true that you’re only as good as your last game, then we must be laughing this weekend. Back on the winning trail after an uplifting result at Hartlepool United midweek, Stevenage are heading back to the Lamex this weekend – though it seems we are dragging something in with us …

Hartlepool United v Stevenage: Only Pools, No Horses

Only Pools, No Horses

It’s been a while, but here’s a midweek match under lights to sink our teeth into. Hartlepool is a ruddy long way to go for a Tuesday night encounter, but it’s not half as long as our wait for a league win – now stretching back almost two months. League One’s …

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. …

“These Boots Were Made For Yorkin’…”

… and that’s just what they’ll do. It’s up to York we go with ourselves this weekend and, at the same time, to the very bottom of the table. The Minstermen are propping up the League Two pile as we talk forth unto you here and now, having been cut three points adrift of safety. …
