Tinfoil Cups At The Ready

Is yours ready? The great FA Cup adventure is about to begin for another year and it is still a little novel to be starting in Round One, rather than the dear Fourth Qualifying Round. It is perhaps fair to say – and with no disrespect intended – that Rotherham …

Introducing: Paolo Di Canio

As the photo to the left illustrates, Paolo Di Canio is a fairly genial, understated person and is rarely seen to be making waves. Those in the seats behind the away dugout can, therefore, not expect any theatrics as the league season moves on with Swindon at home. How we …

Pomp-ey And Circumstance

Well. That’ll learn us. If we ever feel compelled to be mildly concerned about our prospects for an upcoming game, we’ll do well to take a cue from this week’s wonderful victory at MK Dons. In bouncing back from the defeat at Colchester United so admirably, we also get the …

It’s Easy MK

OK, don’t believe the blog title. It certainly won’t be easy MK. Tomorrow is arguably Boro’s toughest test of the season to date, and it doesn’t help that it comes off the back of our first league defeat of the season. Having gone 10 unbeaten, we’ll have to go some …

Camulodunum

A bit of Roman history for you there. Camulodunum obviously being the historic name for what we oiks now call Colchester. And like the Romans, last season was a tale of going and seeing and conquering. In a six-goal fashion. But let’s nip this in the bud right now – …

Once More Unto The Breach

Turns out the G-Smiffy All Stars aren’t giving this playoff chase up without a fight and one of those “yeeeee-haaaas” you often hear in Harlow. Boro’ caused pain, suffering and a little bit of embarrassment to Yeovil Town on Saturday down in the West Country – now its time to …

Pre-Match Toffee

Stevenage is fast becoming the Football League club you can set your watch, or associated timepiece, to. The moment that Boro’ put the ball in the back of the net, you can be sure it is 3.58pm (on Saturdays) or 9.41pm (on weekdays). And always in time to make a …

The Preston Factor

It’s not the usual type of Monday. As we’ve not had to force ourselves from our bed at what can only be described as an ungodly hour, we’re less inclined to rant. Having said that, this Easter bank holiday presents us with the much-anticipated return of ex-manager Graham Westley. Many …
