Gary, Men Behaving Badly

Stag Do

The next leg of the Grand League Two Roadshow 2014-5 takes us to Mansfield Town for a not-so-chance encounter with the Stags, and if we’ve learned anything from Men Behaving Badly (and we bloody have), it means that we are supposed to act like stags. AAAAOOO! Or however you choose to imitate that particular …

Ready For Business

Ah yes, Oxford United – a club that we seem to irk in some form or other ever since their Work Experience Kid forgot to press send on the fax machine and earned the Us a five-point deduction in 2008-9; a mistake that let us leapfrog them into the playoffs at the end of …

A Grand Old Look At York

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 …

The Crazy Gang

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 …

Up To Morecambe…

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 …

Cambridge At Christmas

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 …

Ding Dong Daggers

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 …

The Exe Factor

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 …

Newport – League Two State Of Mind

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 …
