Wycombe Wanderers As a brand new feature, I back up my mini quest for real football by introducing some of the lesser known teams of the lower league to all you Premier League fans out there. The Carling Cup this week saw Sunderland and Man City surely not even flinch at the prospect of facing Northampton and Brighton respectively. Click to continue reading...

McEvilly...thankful for the slimming effect of stripes


Salisbury head the nascent Conference table on goal difference over Cambridge. Only two sides are unbeaten through five games and every team has at least one point.

Salisbury's success, as can be seen from the tables below, has been based on making the most of their attempts and the good goalkeeping of James Bittner. Click to continue reading...

With the season finally underway and two games under the belt it would be fair to say that it hasn't been the great start that I was hoping for! When Wrexham was announced as our first game back in July I would of settled for a draw even before really seeing the squad. We have tended to struggle [. Click to continue reading...

Well, this game was supposed to be the game when Boro's season kicked into action. Instead another poor defensive display and a lack of creativity in the final third led to Stevenage being beaten by newly promoted Eastbourne by 3 goals to 1. Graham Westley made 3 changes from the team that started against Wrexham on [. Click to continue reading...

Stevenage aim to bounce back after Saturday's heavy defeat to Wrexham with a win on Tuesday night at home to newly promoted Eastbourne Boro. The south coast side lost their first game in the Blue Square Premier on Saturday to Rushden & Diamonds thanks to a Rob Wolleaston penalty and won't be looking forward to their [.

Stevenage's first game of the new season was one to forget after they were thrashed 5-0 by Wrexham at the Racecourse Ground. Boro now prop up the Blue Square Premier table on goal difference after a shambolic performance in the second half in North Wales. Not only was it a bad result, but defensively we looked [.

A trip to Wales awaits Boro fans in early August after the Blue Square 2008/2009 fixtures were announced today. Stevenage will travel to recently relegated Wrexham before playing their first game back at Broadhall Way against newly promoted Eastbourne Borough.

The Dripping Pan: no-one seems to know quite why, but that's the name of Lewes F.C.'s home ground, and it sure beats the Emirates for evoking the curious and archaic history of British football. On Saturday, I watched East Sussex's county town take on Havant & Waterlooville Football Club in the Conference South (known for [. Click to continue reading...

With next Wednesday's expansion draft coming up fast, I have gone through each club and made a list of 11 players that I think each club will protect from San Jose. Most clubs will protect valuable veteran and young players, which is really a no brainier. This is the eastern conference side of things. I had [...] Click to continue reading...

Something can be said about defense wins championships. Last night New England's defense showed why they have some of the top defenders in the league by outting the Chicago Fire in the Eastern Conference Championship. The shots were there for the Fire but none could find the back of the net thanks to the Revs [...] Click to continue reading...

Eastern conference rivals come together tonight on ESPN2, when the Chicago Fire take their play on the road to New England to face the Revs. This match has a lot on the line, a trip to MLS Cup 2007 in Washington, DC. Both clubs know one another pretty darn well by now. Chicago got the better [...] Click to continue reading...

Round one of the playoffs is in the books. Both conference champions are out, more and more it looks like MLS Cup 2007 could be a repeat of MLS Cup 2006. I don't brag too much, but doing a blog that people can connect with and read daily and talk about sometimes I feel like I [...] Click to continue reading...
