It seems to be the week for “interesting” analogies – first, we had Russell Slade moan about our deep sea defending on Tuesday night, and now Graham Westley has told the press that Steve Evans – this weekend’s opposing manager – is “a pussycat really“. The most alarming thing for …
… if we want to be generous about the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy. Now before we get sniffy about the competition, shall we remind ourselves about the FA Trophy. If you’re aiming to get promoted to the Football League and striving for an attracting FA Cup Third Round tie in January, …
And now for something completely different… the FA Cup. The pluckiest non-league teams have been decided and now is the time for us Football League types to come to the party. It could have been Stourbridge, it could have been Biggleswade – yep, it could have even been Barnet. But …
Wolverhampton. Well, you can’t complain that the League One Holiday Brochure (2013-14 Season) isn’t treating us this year. Walsall, Crewe, Tranmere – all very prestigious locations in their own right, but none of ’em hold a candle to the cradle of the Black Country. On this latest Grand Day Out, …

“Everybody’s doing the brand new dance now; come on baby, do the Zoko-Motion” – The motion we’re talking about is the one where you stick out a foot, a head or a bum and make the ball go into the goal. Football is a sport that seems so simple when …
That fixture computer can be an awful cad sometimes. It’s been just over a week since the dispiriting 4-1 reverse at MK Dons but once again we find our paths crossing – this time in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy. It’s hardly an ideal set of circumstances; would you enter a …
It’s not quite your four-minute warning, but now is the time to start thinking about how to Protect and Survive as the end is nearly upon us. The only thing between us, three-and-a-half-months without football and Boro’ withdrawal symptoms is today’s showdown at the Lamex Stadium against The Best Team …
A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 27: And so we now come to the end of the season, and what better way to mark it than by an epic 27th Episode Spectacular! OK, we’re overselling it just a bit, but it is still a good ‘un as is always …
