From one end of the spectrum to the other – we can forget all about York City and their crappy home record now because we’re dealing with a completely different beast this weekend. Yep, it’s Shrewsbury Town and a team who have won 11 out of their 13 home games …
The grand old duke of York, right, had 10,000 men. And he marched them up to the top of a hill, before deciding to send them back down again. And there was some more mucking around before they were neither up nor down. Now we’re no military tactician, but this seems like …
In case you missed it, AFC Wimbledon come this game having played Liverpool for the first time since… well, forever. It was hard to ignore the Beeb indulging in all that “Magic of the Cup” guff, throwing up a confused narrative that pitched the Dons in their first ever encounter against the Reds, all the while looking …
As it all stands, Boro’ are travelling to Morecambe this weekend with an unbeaten record in 2015. Not only that, but we’ve come out of the Christmas period with three wins to our name and nine points added to the points column of the table. It’s a little run of form that we …
Christmas is often a time for welcoming people into our home – even if we can’t pretend to like them all that much. This festive period sees us throw open the doors to our humble abode after the fixture computer invited Cambridge United to spend some time with us. We assume we are using …
So this is Christmas, and what have you done? Another year over, but first Dagenham. And so, as we said right there, this is Christmas – and we hope you had fun. Now for the part that could be less fun – yep, it’s a Boro’ away day. Off to …
Christmas – it’s a time for giving, so they say. We don’t know who they actually are, but we just hope Boro’ have done all their giving for this festive period after handing Newport County an easy three points last weekend. It is unlikely to be remembered as the best …
Oh. What’s occurrin’…? So then. Newport – twinned with Guangxi Province in China, there’s no province finer. We can’t vouch for that specific part of south east Asia, but we can for that part of south east Wales that is so often overlooked by the folk at Lonely Planet and Rough …
Christmas is a-coming. You can tell that by the way the weather has turned a relentless shade of cold, misty and damp. And the FA Cup Second Round, which is surely as much our gateway to the festive season as Balham is gateway to the south. But we’re not getting involved with …
Nanoo, nanoo, you ‘orrible ‘erberts. We’ve almost made it through the week and not a cup upset to report. Next to bother the hallowed turf of our fine, palatial stadium are the chaps from Morecambe. With this fixture, the Shrimpers become our second-most played opponent ever – overtaking Saffron Walden …
