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 …
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 …
A new season? Already? It doesn’t seem that long ago that we rocked back on our pub stool in reaction to that late goal at Bramall Lane, spelling the end of our bid for three successive promotions. It wasn’t the end of the world – it’d been a fantastic season …
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 …

If we thought naming our Player of the Year was tough enough, then to decide upon our Match of the Season is an equally troubling matter. Not least because there are so many potential candidates to choose from, and reducing that to the five on our shortlist called for the …
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 …
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… …
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 …
