Wycombe Wanderers v Stevenage: It's the end of the world as we know it...

It’s The End Of The World As We Know It…

… and we feel fine. It’s been 10 months, but here we are; almost across the finish line of another season. And at bloody last while we’re at it. The 2017-8 League Two campaign has been one that’s given us more to forget than remember, all told. No need to …

Stevenage v Exeter City: This is your Good Exe Guide...

The Good Exe Guide

Oh, wouldn’t you know it. The last match indoors this term; this final chance to lift home spirits that have all been too often left flagging over the last nine months. Let’s face it, we aren’t now plundering the depths of umpteenth in the League Two table for nothing. Now, …

FIFA 18 Verdict: Coventry City (Away)

Coventry City (Away): FIFA 18 Verdict

It’s not something we’re proud of, but last week’s FIFA 18 Verdict told you so. Well, it told you we’d score three quarters of sod all indoors against Cambridge. It also, admittedly, had them down to get diddly squat too. So, it means we are none the wiser if you …

Coventry City v Stevenage: Friday, We're In Cov...

Friday, We’re In Cov…

Now, we don’t care if Monday’s blue. Tuesday’s grey, and Wednesday too. Thursday? We don’t care about you. It’s Friday. We’re in Cov. It seems there is something about us and Saturday 3pms at the Ricoh that doesn’t go. First there was Sky, livening up an international break with our mugs …

FIFA 18 Verdict: Cambridge United (H)

Cambridge United (Home): FIFA 18 Verdict

Just when you thought our FIFA 18 Verdict might have struck gold, Mansfield equalised. Our beef with Boro’s midweek draw is not so much our failure to rise another couple of places in the table than we ultimately have (three instead of one). No, it’s more that our poor, maligned …

Stevenage v Cambridge United: The circus is back in town...

Send In The Clowns…

Oh look, the circus is back in town! If you make any link with the fact that our next game is against Cambridge United indoors, that’s all on you. We have every inch of respect for our near and, let’s face it, less enlightened neighbours. That sentence nearly escaped from …

FIFA 18 Verdict: Mansfield Town (H)

Mansfield Town (Home): FIFA 18 Verdict

It’s not that our FIFA 18 Verdict got it wrong last week, oh no. It’s that Boro’ failed to prove it right. Or at least fulfil its prophecy. You know it, we know it and Newport County know it too. They were lucky to come out just with a 1-0 …

Stevenage v Mansfield Town: Stagadoo-Doo-Doo...

Stagadoo-Doo-Doo…

Push pineapple, and shake that tree! Yes, it’s Mansfield Town indoors – part deux; a second crack at trying to get this fixture noted in the records as ‘Completed’. For our non-dom readers or those of you recently out of hibernation, the last time the Stags were meant to be …

FIFA 18 Verdict: Newport County (A)

Newport County (Away): FIFA 18 Verdict

One of those results, so it was. A 4-1 shallacking that, had our misunderstood FIFA 18 Verdict dared predict it, we’d have all rolled our eyes and gone “oh right, yeah”. That said, it’s rolling back into town after a one-match absence (Or is that ban? Ed.) for Newport County away. And let’s …

Newport County v Stevenage: Gwenton!

Gwenton!

Oh, but wasn’t it written in the stars for all to see? That Dino’s first win as Boro’ boss would come convincingly at the expense of a, quite frankly, buggered Barnet? In the space of one Bank Holiday game, our gaffer saw us score more times against the Bees than …
