Dancing With Wolves

If you needed to be reminded of the gap that exists between the Haves and the Have Nots in League One, this weekend’s game will help you out. On the pitch, there is just a fine line between sticking the ball in the goal and, well, not doing that. But …

Signs. Of A Positive Nature.

It is understandable that our league form this season may have been prematurely pushing some of our Worry-o-Meters into that horrible looking red zone labelled “PANIC”. But the second half of the second half of the game against Coventry City (you still with us? Good…) makes us think that the …

Catching Up: Portsmouth (A)

We know what it must seem like to you. Yes, it has taken us four days to produce our thesis on the goalless draw at Fratton Park, but we have been busy with other things. Honest guv, honest! It is mainly because we realised that ALOOT might need some new …

The Nightmare After Christmas

Records, they say, are made to be broken. It is a concept that spawned a TV show that kept Roy Castle and Kriss Akabusi in work for a number of years. But it’s one thing to set a record; it is another to have one ended. In the past fortnight, …

Ronnie, Meet Greg

“I don’t think he knew where it was going and it’s ended up in the back of our net” – so said Tranmere manager Ronnie Moore of Greg Tansey’s wonderful strike after Saturday’s draw against the league leaders. We rather believe that if you can’t appreciate a moment of such …

The All-Singing, All-Dancing Scunthorpe Review

It might not have been the prettiest spectacle at times on Saturday, but we did the job and secured all three points. We’ll look back at the end of the season while clasping the League One trophy and what will we see? The list of results won’t say anything but …
