Stevenage v Colchester United: Here come the Col-callers...

Col Calling

Go-oo-od morning, madam. The erudite townsfolk of blessed St. Evenage are walking down to Broadhall Way to see the Boro’ aces, for it is Residents’ Day. On our Dunlop-starred Prix Fixe menu is Colchester United, and the taste has so far proved an acquired one. Now we’re home from our epic …

Exeter City v Stevenage: It's an 'exe-rated' fixture...

Exe-Rated

If a Boro’ team wins 1-0 at Carlisle, but the fans’ bus doesn’t get there for our clan to see it happen, does it really happen? It must do. We’ve seen YouTube vids and animated gifs. Here’s a picture. What more bloody proof do you need? Well, how about we …

Carlisle United v Stevenage: Carlisle See You When You Get There...

Carlisle See You When You Get There…

Now we’ve seen off the league’s bottom feeders, it’s time for us to step up. We’re now facing the Creme de la Menthe of League Two, and what a back-breaking escapade it promises to be too. Our switch from the bottom four to the top five is about to see us …

Stevenage v Grimsby Town:

Grimblesby

Grimsby indoors, eh? It’s much like a slap in the belly with a wet fish; sounds entertaining at first, but then a harsh reality soon sets in. It hurts, don’t it? In taking to the field this weekend, Boro’ get the huge honour of being first (probably) to complete the …

Notts County v Stevenage: Introducing our County File...

County File

From the second worst side in the division indoors to the worst; we’d better catch ourselves on and make the most of this kind run of fixtures at the mo. As sure as Mark Lawrenson is predicting that Liverpool will – once more – avoid defeat for the 17514th consecutive …

Stevenage v Macclesfield Town: It's the return of the Macc...

Return Of The Macc…

Oh look. It’s Macclesfield Town, and it’s been a while; the Silkmen are back in the neighbourhood after more than seven years in non-league exile. Or should that be purgatory? We’ll have to ask our friends down the A1 about that some time. For now, though, Macc now come to …

Stevenage v Cambridge United: Draw it how you like, it's still not a *proper* derby in our eyes...

Win, U’s Or Draw?

As ding-dong derby days go, the idea of Cambridge United makes us shrug our shoulders as if we’ve suddenly come over all French. Mais oui, there have been a few choice battles between us cool kids and dem nerds now and then; some tasty shizzle went down back in our shared Conference …

Yeovil Town v Stevenage: So, what have we missed?

So, What Did We Miss?

The best thing about going on holibobs two weeks into the new season is that you’re unlikely to bump into any professional footballers. It’s a small and almost insignificant upside to an otherwise shambolic situation. It’s not exactly as if we don’t know when the season starts. It comes around …

Stevenage v Tranmere Rovers: It is with muted pleasure and lukewarm loins that we are welcoming the number one club on the Wirral to what Debrett's would call "our gaff"...

Here We Go Again…

Goin’ down the only road we’ve ever known, the all-new League Two season is coming towards you like an erratic pigeon. And it means business too, like an erratic pigeon. Look, we can go on about the similarities between the 2018-9 campaign and erratic pigeons all day long. Our own small …

FIFA 18 Verdict: Wycombe Wanderers (Away)

Wycombe Wanderers (Away): FIFA 18 Verdict

If Boro’ can wrap up this campaign on a high, then what is stopping our FIFA 18 Verdict doing the same? Well, apart from that it rarely comes close to calling the right result, let alone actually being right? We’ll give it the benefit of one last doubt (Before we do …
