The Ballad of Gunnar Halle

Ah, the man Gunnar Halle. One of those players from a time when terracing was still part of some Premier League grounds and when shirt designs were, hmm, interesting. Having spent five years at Boundary Park, we definitely believe Oldham Athletic would be so very much better off if players …

Monday Lunchtime Stat Attack

And we are off and running. As Gary Smith so eloquently put it, “if you can’t win the game, don’t get beaten” – a decent enough philosophy from which to work from. Of course, it may be argued that Saturday’s game was a little out of the ordinary – temperatures …

Under Starters Orders

Right, we’re about ready for the off here at BoroGuide Towers and look forward to seeing Carlisle United return home defeated once again. The season properly begins tomorrow – discounting the Capital One Cup game earlier in the week – and we’re certainly interested to see how the new-look Gary …

Boro’s Newest Star?

Since the end of last season, we’ve been searching frantically for something to fill our time until the 2012/3 campaign kicks off next month. Euro 2012 did, for a short while, grab our attention. But with the Russians, Dutch and Germans determined to torpedo our wagers, it waned our interest …

Well, wasn’t that eventful…?

The first foray into unknown territory is often a daunting prospect. This season, however, we found ourselves battling at the right end of table with ex-Premier League big boys for a third successive promotion and a crack at the Championship as opposed to settling for any spot outside of the …

From one record-breaker to the next, Ronnie Henry is the only lad in this list to skipper us in two different spells

Proud

In the end, the Destiny Train ran out of steam during the final seven minutes of the second leg at Sheffield United. But it’s been kept busy throughout the 2011/2 season – it has taken us to Hillsborough, White Hart Lane and The Valley. Wembley Stadium was, however, one trip …

You Again?

We’re acutely aware that pretty much everyone is just about ready to make the trip north to Sheffield. It is with this in mind that this preview could appear rushed, but we feel it is going to make compelling reading. It could also be the last preview of the season… …

Stalemate

There’s precious little time to reflect on Friday night’s stalemate at the Lamex, as we have a mere 72 hours until the remaining installment of the playoff semi-finals gets underway at Bramall Lane. And there’s not much to be said with regards to the first 90 minutes… Sheffield United came …

Play/Off

For the third time in four seasons, the end of the season sees Stevenage competing in the playoffs. It’s a formidable record that has only been broken by the Conference title winning year of 2009/10. Equally formidable is Boro’s performance in those playoffs. Including 2004/5, there is yet to be …
