You know that line in the Who’s “My Generation” – I hope I die before I get old? When you slide casually into your seventh decade without much fuss you tend to think let’s not be too hasty here lads, let’s have a cup of splosh and a Rich Tea in front of the fire […]

Grief and Sadness
Alright kids! How’s tricks? Oh wait, don’t answer that, I know full well you’ll no doubt have been parked up in front of the endless news cycle of Her Madge’s clog popping last week, clad purely in black whilst hugging a box of Kleenex and sobbing into your brew. A terribly sad event of such […]
Little Plastic Sheep
Well hello again dear reader. Welcome back to this stupid little corner of the internet, where we oddballs spend too much time, effort and money obsessing about a 4th Division football club! Usually whilst somewhat intoxicated. Still, could be worse, we could still be Non-League. At least people kind of know we exist now. It […]
The Fritzl Lounge
With a first away point finally acquired up in Grimsby last weekend, we revert back to a little run in the Republic of three matches this week. First up we welcome Nigel Clough’s mob to GGL in the league today before taking on a who’s who of lads that’ll be on loan to Vitesse Arnhem […]
Pathetic Little Ears
As per usual, we hardly have time to catch our breath from our last long trip North up in Crewe midweek before the next one’s hard on its heels and there’s early rises and all the other usual cobblers to consider.

Hier Kommt Alex
Deep breath, hold your nose and in we plunge again into the deep end of League 2. After Saturday’s valuable first win of the season over Barrow, there’s no time to rest on our laurles as we’re back on the road once more and taking in a new venue for the third time this month […]
Indirect Fortune
Blimey, this weather. It’s been a bit of a struggle if I’m honest. Being both British and of the red headed persuasion, this means I most definitely am not buit for these kind of conditions. Sure, we can put up with on our holidays as we’re not at home, have nice food and unusual beer […]
Breaking the Code
After Saturday’s steel toe cap to tender fragile body parts around the waist area episode still fresh in the old memory banks, we’re having to dust ourselves off sharpish as we’re back on the road again, this time in the EFL League Cup, sponsored by a product no can pronounce and can ever remember seeing […]
How Many Ajiboyes Is That?
After last week’s opening day stalemate with Newport, attention this week turned to our first awayday of the new season with a tramp up North, a new ground tick and to face one of last season’s L1 trapdoor outfits in Doncaster Rovers. Tickets were booked for this one as soon as the fixtures were out […]
New Season, Newport
So here we are again ladies & gents. Another season is upon us and my god it doesn’t half swing round at a rate of knots eh? Only seems like last week we were on the beer in Harrogate wrapping up our maiden Football League season and feeling a bit sorry for ourselves at missing […]
