Football chants are the metaphoric glue that bonds fans together in banter. For some players these are songs praising their talent, for others, well, it's best not to go there. Unfortunately there are some offensive corkers we had to leave out, but the ones we left in are equally class.

Part 2 of the series focuses on Norwegian striker, Jan Åge Fjørtoft...

Jan Åge Fjørtoft became a bit of a cult hero during his time in the Premier League playing for Swindon Town in the 93/94 season. His fly by celebration became infamous throughout the league.

Tonight I intended going to watch Scarborough Athletic away at Nostell MW, but thanks to working late I now had the choice of a comfy chair by the fire and Arsenal v Ipswich on the tv or the short trip to the less glamorous surroundings of Queensgate and Bridlington Town v Armthorpe Welfare, EASY CHOICE, Queensgate it was.

Our next 2 games are both at Queensgate so we have a good chance of picking up some much needed points. On Tuesday we entertain 4th placed Tadcaster Albion, they have an excellent away record so far having lost only once on their travels and scoring 19 goals in their 9 games, so this will not be an easy game by any means but with home advantage and a near full squad to choose from I expect us to win the game.

For the fifth year running. Not for those with weak stomachs.

Luke Foster: Opened the scoring for Boro against Barnet

Boro 4-2 Barnet (Foster 4, Basey og 8, Long 27, Roberts 46, McLeod 73, Marshall 76)
Highlights | BBC Report | Westley Interview

It's been a long time in coming, but Stevenage finally got back to winning ways yesterday afternoon after comfortably beating Barnet 4-2 at Broadhall Way.

George Donnelly: Opted for Fleetwood over Boro

News broke this evening that Fleetwood Town have pipped us to the signing of Plymouth striker George Donnelly. Argyle announced on their official site that the ambitious Conference Premier outfit had a £50,000 bid accepted for the Liverpool born striker and that Stevenage had matched that offer.

It was good to actually see the Boro playing after such a long lay off because of the weather conditions, expectations were high, especially with the return of Richard Medcalf, a real class player in my book, it was disappointing to see Joel Hartley left out of the team, he was not even named as a substitute, also Dave Kemp, but Dave was at least included on the bench.

Good morning to you and welcome to a brand new week.

Cup football is the order of business again as we switch our sights from FA to Carling and it'll be interesting, having seen some of the players struggle against Leeds, what exactly the manager does on Wednesday night. Will he keep faith and hope that another game so quickly will increase sharpness and see them recapture some form, or will he add a few of the 'first' team in from the start to try and get things back on track?

Scarborough Athletic may be languishing down in 14th position of the NCEL Premier division, but we have a massive 7 games in hand over league leaders Farsley AFC, the team we play on Saturday.
If we were to win the 7 games in hand then we would be in 2nd place just 1 point behind the leaders.

Following Saturdays disaster with Hallam Boro travelled to West Yorkshire to face Thackley attempting to reach the semi final stage of the Presidents Cup.
Nathan Hotte was captain, and Denny Ingram was on the subs' bench tonight.
17 year old James Hitchcock made his Boro debut between the posts.

Below is a guest post I wrote for twofootedtackle.com earlier this week. Two Footed Tackle is a blog devoted to the world of football, covering the Premier League right down to non-league. You can follow them on Twitter via @twofootedtackle.

Stevenage's 3-1 victory over Newcastle United at the weekend may have shocked the nation, but those who have followed the club over the last few years will tell you that they were not surprised to see a Premier League side turned over at fortress Broadhall Way.

Boro boss 'Paul Olsson believes Boro will be up to the test when they travel to leaders Farsley tomorrow.
Farsley are 22 points above Boro but with 7 games in hand, Boro would be just 1 point behind Farsley if they were to win those games in hand.
Paul Olsson said "It is going to be a difficult game, but we have said before that we always play well against the divisions better sides, we have beaten Bridlington Town this season and we should have won at Parkgate.

I was as pleased as anyone could be last season when Scarborough TOWN finally shot themselves in the foot, they tried to con their way into the NCEL, even got themselves accepted but were finally thrown out because they could not keep to their assurances regarding floodlights etc.
Scarborough Athletic are a credit to the town and will be an even bigger success as they work their way up the pyramid , they will go from strength to strength, but having this 2nd team playing under the name 'Scarborough Town' can do nothing but slow down the progress of football in the town, we 'Athletic' have a loyal following and always will have, but this 2nd team will naturally steal a handful of our fans for certain games, simply because they will be playing locally and if they have an attractive fixture while we have a less attractive game on the day then a few fans will probably go to the Town game, this will have an effect on the future of the towns football, the town cannot support 2 teams, especially 2 successful teams, I hope they 'Town' will not be successful, and if they are run in the same way as before then hopefully off the field events will stop them from actually reforming.

The transfer window finally kick started this week Aston Villa made sure it wouldn't be a dull one, but what does the less glamorised move of David Wheater from Boro to Bolton mean for the next 11 days of the market? Having signed for an initial £2.3m, Wheater steps into a defence that is predominantly English, with Zat Knight and Gary Cahill established at Trotters rear, in front of the eternally youthful Jaaskelainen.

Nathan Hotte has left Scarborough Athletic to join Bradford Park Avenue and will actually play some part in their game tonight against FC Halifax.
Nathan has shown excellent form for Boro, especially recently when the team has been struggling and he will be badly missed.
Rob Northern has also informed the club that he wishes to leave and does not want to be considered for future Boro matches.

Stevenage 3-0 Rotherham (Winn 44, Harrison 85, Laird 90)
BBC Report | Official Report

Winning is beginning to become a habit again after an inconsistent start to life in League 2. Boro have now won their last four home games in all competitions, the latest being a 3-0 demolition job of 3rd place Rotherham.

GEOFF WITH 'SNAPPER'Well known Dinnington Town stalwart Geoff Harris sadly passed away on January 3rd, Geoff had been a well known figure at the club for many years along with his dog 'Snapper'.
Geoff was always happy to chat with opposing fans and just loved the game, and I am sure he will be badly missed at the club, I remember talking with Geoff at the game against Boro in 2008, we were beaten 4-2 on the day by a very good Dinnington team.
