“Yes, honey – just squeeze your rage up into a bitter little ball and release it at an appropriate time… like that day I hit the referee with the whiskey bottle” – It ain’t much fun being a Boro’ fan at the moment, and the capitulation against Mansfield midweek was a thump to …

Think Fast, Father Ted…

Look, we’re making no apologies for the fact that the list of Father Ted episode titles is going to be seeing plenty of action here at BoroGuide HQ over the course of the 2015-6 League Two season. Not least ‘cos it makes us laugh when the only option is to weep …

We Got U’s, Babe…

Ugh – it doesn’t get any easier, does it? Losing to Barnet. Barnet. Huge sigh and move on. This week, it’s another away day and another one of “those teams” – Cambridge United to be specific, and if you really did need that helping hand. Like the Bees, the U’s rock …

Hartlepool United: The Pools Panel Verdict

We’re not going to lie to you – after all, you are all beautiful, intelligent creatures and we’re massive admirers of whatever it is that you actually do. But we’re just going to have to put it out there right from the start that we don’t especially rate Boro’s chances this weekend, with …

Leyton Orient: Got Any Os?

“Os! I thought you said O! When you said Os, I thought you said O! ‘Os!” – Wowzer, aren’t the games coming round thick and fast at the moment? It’s a third trip in three games for Teddy’s team – if you count the League Cup jaunt up to Ipswich – and we’ll have to be using …

Trigger and Rodney - Feature Image

Newport, Newport

“Why do you call it Dave, Trig’? Its name’s not Dave, Its Rodney” – Dave Parade’s the name, Newport County’s the game. As third games of the season, this one’s a classic – that’s why we’ve taken our fair old time about knocking out our match preview. Dig out your £6.50s because we’re going …
