Mmmm, nearly there. In the context of our season that was (or still technically is), that weekend win indoors against Newport is as good as we can hope for. Not only did it bump us up the table for the first time since November, but it put us 12 points clear of the forlorn looking York. And when …
“How did York do? Did Dagenham win?” – just two or three more games and we might be able to stop asking those two questions after Boro’s latest attempt to keep the League Two relegation battle alive. It could be sooner if we’re lucky. It could be the full five remaining fixtures, …
What about that Yeovil game in midweek, eh? The footballing equivalent of watching BBC Parliament on Valium, we heard that even the town’s most sleep-deprived insomniacs managed to grab forty winks during the second half. The bottom line, we guess, is that we made it back-to-back shut-outs for the first time in 16 months …
How was it for you, then? To us, it was a ruddy bloody sensation. It won’t matter that we didn’t win any prizes for artistry or achievement. All that does matter are the history books, which will tell folk down the line that Boro’ beat Luton in a classic one-niller …
With three motorway exits, two railway stations and an international airport, you get the impression that a humanitarian town planner has made the task of getting out of Luton as simple as possible. But there’s always one poor sod who seems to be going against the flow and this weekend’s poor sod, dear folks, is us. Yep, it’s …
For an ‘orrible moment last digs, we found ourselves shafted right up the time tunnel with the memories of ballsing up a two-goal lead at home to MK Dons in 2014. It was about this time of the year an’ all, putting us on a collision course for a return to League Two. Lightning …
D:Ream have a bloody lot to answer for. A generation brought up to think that things can only get better. Yeah, well, when you look back over the last four games and see big fat eggs in both the Goals For and Points columns, you start to wish your next opponents won’t bother …
300 minutes – it’s a long time, innit? Empires have risen, fallen and been reimagined on the big screen in the time since Boro’ last found the back of the net. It’s not exactly helpful when you’re being sucked ever closer to the bottom two, but it looks like York and …
So, it turns out it wasn’t the Victorians, the Ancient Chinese or even the perpetual PR machine at Sky Sports – it was Manchester United all along. Yep, do make your cheques payable and glory be to the Red Devils for creating this funny old game of ours. Not least because it rears its …
If there’s one team that we don’t have much luck with, it’s Carlisle flippin’ United. It’s not enough to have elbowed their way past us into the League in 2005, but the Cumbrians must have cast some sort of spell because fortune refuses to shine on us when our paths cross. Nor …
