Hmmm. That didn’t go very well, did it? The anticipated return of Graham Westley with his Preston North End charges was an opportunity for us to show him how we’ve moved on since he decided to leave us for the sunnier climes of Lancashire earlier this year. Maybe it was …
A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 7: From the disappointing FA Cup exit at Rotherham United to a confidence-restoring victory at Yeovil Town, that’s enough to be starting with in the latest A Load of Old Toffee. Once again, we’ve failed to part host Steve Watkins and 3CR sidekick …
Let’s have a little bet. How far can we get into this blog post without mentioning Graham Westley? If you said “18 words”, you will be awarded some form of honour at some point and we will sigh in exasperation. But then again, were we ever going able to escape …
“By 15 games it’s no fluke, it’s not lucky. They are up there for a reason…” – not our words, the words of Top Gear magazine Yeovil Town manager Gary Johnson (remember him)? A chilly Somerset is the destination for Boro’s next outing this evening and offers the perfect chance …

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 …
A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 5: With two spiffing results to discuss, host Steve “Jeremy Paxman” Watkins is joined by regular (t)wits Mark Hollis and Dean Thompson, plus BoroGuide editor Pete Hayman. In episode five, we soar high and debate whether it could actually be possible for Boro’ …
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 …
The word “defeat” hasn’t exactly been in our vocabulary this season. Aside from cup exits at the hands of Southampton and Dagenham and Redbridge, it’s been a bountiful start to the League One campaign. The fact is this: it has taken us until midway through the third month of 2012-13 …
